King Cole Bar at the St. Regis New York

Legend has it that the bloody mary was popularized in America at the St. Regis, when in 1934 a bartender introduced a concoction known as the Red Snapper. It’s the signature drink all these years later at the ultra-high-end King Cole, with its giant mural that makes the establishment a spot for well-heeled regulars, tourists, and cocktail enthusiasts.
