Cocktail Recipe
The Crab Claw cocktail is derived from a punch recipe of the same name. Change the measurements from ounces to cups if you prefer to mix up a post flats session pitcher. Be advised that this is one adult beverage that will sneak up on you because you won’t taste any of the three liquors called for in the recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 oz Vodka
- 1 oz Rum
- 1 oz Tequila
- 2 oz Pineapple Juice
- 2 0z Orange Juice
- 1 oz Grenadine
Put all the ingredients in a shaker with ice, shake and strain into a cocktail glass. Crusha Crab garnish optional.
