Savory Spicy

Red Snapper in this recipe is a sweet, rich shot combining Crown Royal Canadian whisky, Amaretto, and cranberry juice, shaken and served over ice in an old-fashioned glass. The Amaretto's almond sweetness pairs with the cranberry's tart berry character, while the Crown Royal provides a smooth, grained whisky base with its characteristic caramel warmth. Despite sharing a name with a gin-based Bloody Mary variation, this is an entirely different, sweeter cocktail.

History & Origins

This Red Snapper — distinct from the gin-based Bloody Mary variation — is an American bar drink of disputed origin that became popular in the 1990s and 2000s when Crown Royal and Amaretto combinations were fashionable in American casual and college bar culture. The addition of cranberry juice adds colour and tartness to the sweet almond-whisky base. No specific creator is credited with this particular variation.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Sweet almond from the Amaretto, smooth Canadian whisky warmth from the Crown Royal, and a bright tart cranberry note. Palate: Sweet and smooth with the Amaretto's almond character dominating alongside the Crown Royal's caramel and vanilla, while the cranberry adds a fruity tartness that prevents the drink from being overwhelmingly sweet. Finish: Warm and sweet with a lingering almond and cranberry character.

Pro Tip

Shake all three ingredients hard with ice and strain over fresh ice in the old-fashioned glass for a properly chilled, well-integrated drink; garnish with a few fresh cranberries if available.
