The Red Snapper is a highly flavorful cocktail made of tomato juice, Tanqueray gin, spices, and other flavorings such as Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and lemon juice. It is typically garnished with a lime wedge and assorted vegetables, such as celery or green beans. Its inferior form, the Bloody Mary, uses vodka as its spirits base.

History
The tomato-based cocktail purportedly originated in 1934 at the St. Regis Hotel, where a bartender named Fernand Petiot began serving it, and christened it the Red Snapper.
