The Bloody Mary is a classic cocktail that enjoys a reputation like no other. It could be considered famous or infamous and it’s purely situational.
On one hand, the Bloody Mary is the quintessential cocktail enjoyed at a leisurely Sunday brunch. On the other hand, it is the quintessential cure to recharge on “the morning after” a big night out.
Whichever situation you might find yourself in, it’s good to know that the Bloody Mary does well when one needs to improvise or, even better, when one wants to improvise.
What is in a Bloody Mary with Gin Called?
A Bloody Mary with Gin can taste just as good if not better. It’s called a Red Snapper. Because of the botanicals, results will vary based on the gin brand you use.
Want something more savory than tomato juice? Try a Gin Bloody Mary drink with Clamato juice That’s called a Caesar. While a traditional Bloody Mary is made tomato juice and vodka.

Bloody Mary Skewer Garnishes
The sky seems to be the limit for Gin Bloody Mary skewer ideas. There was a time when the fixings and garnishes used to be simple like a wedge of citrus, some olives and cocktail onions and maybe an entire pickle spear.
Crisp bacon strips seen to usher in the current more is more attitude.
These days, it’s a smorgasbord on a skewer. Think antipasto, think buffet, go ahead- think kitchen sink!
Cheese burgers, soft pretzels, bacon wrapped shrimp, fried chicken, tater tots, a bag of popcorn, a lobster roll and even an entire pizza.
Summary
Gin is not only a subsitute for the traditional bloody mary with Vodka, it’s often even better.
After much testing, GinBoss highly recommends Neptunia by Hendricks and encourages you to
