Snow Crab Bloody Caesar

We made these as a signature drink for our buddy Ian’s birthday dinner and they were a hit. It doubles as an appetizer and you can hand them out when guests arrive.
Local Seattle: A&J butcher in Queen Anne has a Fish guy in the building, if you go in the morning he can order snow crab legs to arrive fresh by 2pm. Just a warning… it’s not a cheap appetizer as far as that goes. You can cut the legs in half so they fit into the glass and reduce the overall cost.

Ingredients

  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • Steak spice
  • Handful of ice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Dash Worcestershire sauce
  • Dash hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh, grated horseradish
  • 1/4 cup vodka, optional
  • 1/2 cup tomato juice (recommended: Clamato juice)
  • 1 celery stick, for garnish
  • 1 snow crab claw, for garnish


Directions

Rim your glass by running a lemon wedge around the edge, then dipping the rim into a small dish of the steak spice. Put ice into a tall glass. Add a dash of salt, and pepper, to the ice. Add dashes of Worcestershire, and hot sauce. Peel and grate some fresh horseradish into the glass. Add the vodka, if using. Top up with juice. Garnish with a lemon wedge, celery stick, and crab leg.
