Green Snapper breathes life into the morning after

Rutte Green Snapper

Partied a little too hard? Make Vjeze’s French omelet and fix yourself a Green Snapper. Bloody Mary’s hot, green, celery sister forms the perfect balance between savory and sweet, sour and spicy. And brings your morning after back to life in no time.

Make plenty

This cocktail is easy to prepare. Mix all the ingredients together, pour the mixture into a large carafe and invite some friends over in the afternoon. The Green Snapper goes perfectly with oysters, but a large bag of crisps will do too.

This is what you need for a Green Snapper

50 ml Rutte Celery Gin

100 ml green juice*

Garnish: celery stalks

*Green juice recipe: add all the ingredients to a blender and blend for 1–2 minutes. For the desired level of spiciness, start with a small piece of jalapeño and add more in small amounts. Pour the mixture through a sieve and keep it chilled until you serve the Green Snapper.

• 1 liter fresh pineapple juice

• 1–2 jalapeños (to taste)

• 20 mint leaves

• handful of coriander leaves

• juice of 1 lime

• 100g sugar
