History

Red Snapper made its mark as a gin-based answer to the Bloody Mary, emerging in lively bars of the 20th century. Its peppery kick and herbal undertones quickly won over brunch crowds seeking something familiar yet different. The Red Snapper’s versatile nature means it fits as easily on a breakfast table as at late-night gatherings. Sometimes, all it takes is a little gin for a classic to feel brand new.
