About This Cocktail
A Red Snapper rebuilt around Amuerte Black Gin and a measure of smoky Mezcal Vida — darker, deeper, and unmistakably savoury. Big Tom tomato juice gives the drink its rich body, while habanero and Worcestershire layer heat and umami against a crisp spine of fresh lime. Rolled rather than shaken to keep the tomato silken, and served over ice balls with a single oyster leaf for its clean marine bite.

Method
Build the Cocktail
- Combine all ingredients in a shaker
- Stir briefly with a barspoon (do not shake — this keeps the tomato juice silky)
- Pour the Red Snapper directly into a longdrink glass filled with ice balls
- Finish with an oyster leaf on top
Serving Tip
Avoid shaking — it aerates the tomato juice and turns a velvet texture into something frothy and loose. Roll the shaker gently between two hands a few times instead, or stir briefly as directed. If you want more heat, dial up the habanero rather than adding pepper grinds at the end; hot sauce integrates cleanly, pepper floats and stings.
