½ pound Maryland Lump Crab Meat

For The Vinaigrette

1 cup Tomato Juice
1/4 cup Horseradish
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper

pinch Sugar
pinch Kosher Salt

Optional Garnishes

1/4 cup Grey GooseVodka

Mix all of the vinaigrette ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. This can also be done in a martini shaker and poured from it if you are looking to impress your friends. Slice the onion and put it in a shallow dish or bowl. Top with vinegar, salt, and sugar and let sit for 10 minutes. To assemble divide the crab evenly in 6 martini glasses. Place several pickled onion slices on top of the crab meat. Pour ¼ cup of the vinaigrette over top of each glass of crab meat and garnish each with a tablespoon (or more) of good quality vodka. Top with a 2 tablespoons of katafi.

Leftover vinaigrette and pickled onions can be refrigerated for up to two weeks.

Let the party begin.
