We usually host a breakfast/brunch on New Year’s morning. I like to just mix up a pitcher (or two) of these the night before and set out one pitcher at a time on the buffet table along with the glasses, straws, cocktail toothpicks and an array of garnishes for each guest to take whatever appeals to them.

How To Make red snapper cocktail

  • Step 1
    In a large pitcher, muddle ice, lemon wedges, lime wedges, horseradish, and salt. Add gin, tomato juice, V-8 juice, and Worcestershire; stir to combine.
  • Step 2
    Stir in hot sauce to taste, keeping more to the mild side and allowing your guests to spice up their own individual cocktails to suit their liking.
  • Step 3
    Store in refrigerator until serving time. Pour over ice in tall glasses and garnish as desired. Or...my personal preference, is to have it served plain.
