Fernand Petiot, who was the bartender at Harry's New York Bar in Paris in the 1930s, took credit for zapping tomato juice and vodka with Worcestershire sauce, lemon, salt and pepper. He moved to the King Cole Bar in the St. Regis Hotel in 1964, and renamed the cocktail the Red Snapper (the St. Regis wanted a classier name than Bloody Mary).
