Every good brunch dish needs a cocktail companion. With our huevos rancheros brunch, we decided to pair it with a Red Snapper cocktail. Gin based, it's a lot like a Bloody Mary, with tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and garnished with celery.We first had the idea of this cocktail when we received May's Craft Gin Club box. Inside was a beautiful bottle of Boatyard Gin, and with it a recipe for a Red Snapper.I have to be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of tomato juice. For me, it just tastes like cold soup (anyone else?!). But Stew loves it and I have to admit, it does look very pretty. And to be fair, it did taste a lot better paired with our Mexican brunch dish.For those of you who do like a Bloody Mary, but are more of a fan of gin than vodka. You have to give this cocktail a go!Ingredients (makes 2)
