Crab Leg Bloody Mary

We are always in search of a better brunch. And what better way to kick off a delightful weekend morning feast than with an epic cocktail?! 

Bloody Marys are synonymous with brunches. These savory beverages start off with just a simple base of vodka and tomato juice, we get a level of culinary excitement from all the enticing flavor combinations, available add-ins, and garnishes. 

Our go-to Bloody Mary, of course, has seafood savoir faire.

4. Fill the shaker with ice, close, and vigorously shake until blended.

Sensational Snow Crab Legs 

Snow crabs are found in the bitter cold waters from the Pacific North West and North West Atlantic, Alaska to Siberia and Greenland to Newfoundland, often crab season begins when the ice breaks (around mid April running til early November). Snow crabs are mostly legs, with their bodies being short and round and averaging from about 2-4lbs. Males tend to be double the size of the females and are most likely to land on our plates (sorry fellas). You’ll probably only see snow crabs sold in clusters, this being an already spilt and cleaned crab. Snow crab meat is hearty with a hint of salt, perfect for a dip in the melted butter cup. 

We love this combination of the sweet crab meat and the savory-spicy cocktail. A nice balance between the contrasting flavors. 

Make it a Maria or a Caesar! 

There’s even more options when it comes to Bloody Mary making! These Mary-adjacent cocktails use a similar mixture with just a couple alterations. For a Bloody Maria, instead of vodka use tequila. For a Caesar (Canada’s version of a Bloody Mary), substitute the tomato juice for Clamato juice!
