• The Snapper is a refreshing variation of the traditional Bloody Mary. Made with gin instead of vodka, this drink has been popular on the American cocktail scene since the early 1920s. A drink named Bloody Mary was too vulgar for New York’s sophisticated St Regis hotel, and so The Snapper was born!
