This Red Snapper is a short Canadian whisky, amaretto, and cranberry drink, not the gin-based Bloody Mary variant. It is sweet, tart, and intended as a quick chilled serve.
Shake Crown Royal, amaretto, and cranberry juice with ice until cold. Strain into a small old fashioned glass and serve without garnish.
Serve in a small old fashioned glass with a deep red-brown color. Keep it ungarnished.
Pair it with chocolate, spiced nuts, salty bar snacks, or cranberry-glazed appetizers.
This version belongs to the modern shooter and short-drink family, using equal parts for easy recall.
Best for parties, late-night service, or as a compact fruit-and-whisky drink.
Crown Royal gives soft whisky warmth, amaretto adds almond sweetness, and cranberry juice brings tart red-fruit color.
Sweet, direct, nutty, and quick.
Serve it as a chilled shot by splitting the strained drink into shot glasses.
