I love fun holiday cocktails! They are easy to make and look great when served at holiday parties.

This Red Snapper Shot is fruity and oh so delicious. I feel like I should probably mention that there is no fish or fish oil in this cocktail. I know the name is the same as a large red fish but trust me this is made with Canadian Whiskey, Amaretto, and cranberry juice.

Amaretto Liqueur

Recipe Tips

This recipe is for a cocktail shot not a Bloody Mary. I know that a Bloody Mary is called a red snapper in some areas but that is a whole different article.

If you love the flavor of this drink you can double the ingredients and make it a full cocktail instead of a shot.

If you are making this as a cocktail or in different size shot glasses the proportions are 1 part Canadian Whiskey, 1 Part Amaretto, 2 parts juice. We measured it out to 1 part = 1 fluid ounce

You can easily change the amount of each ingredient to suit your favorite flavors.
