Photo: Lobster Salad with Bloody Mary Granite Recipe
Ingredients
Granite:
- 2 cups tomato-vegetable juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons lemon-flavored vodka
- 1 teaspoon horseradish (freshly grated or prepared)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 shakes hot sauce
- Salt
Lobster salad:
- 1/2 pound cooked and chopped lobster meat
- 4 tablespoons good quality, fruity olive oil
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons chopped chives
- Salt and freshly ground white pepper
Directions
Special equipment: Clear shot glasses
Make the Granite: Combine all ingredients and season with salt, to taste. Pour into a shallow container and place in the freezer. Run a fork through the granite every 30 to 45 minutes, while it is freezing, to obtain a nice, granular texture.
Make the Lobster Salad: Fold all of the ingredients together and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Keep refrigerated until ready to assemble.
To assemble the hors d' oeuvres, fill up the shot glasses 3/4 of the way with the lobster salad, top with the granite, and serve with cocktail forks.

I made this appetizer and got rave reviews! Everyone loved it...it's lobster, who wouldn't? It was so easy; I had the seafood market steam the lobster tails for me so they would be cooked perfectly. It was fun to use my shot glass collection for something functional, too. I will make it again for the Fourth of July; classic!

My friend and I have made this 5 or 6 times and each time it got rave reviews. We have also made it with crab meat and shrimp and garnished with colored bell peppers and celery or very thinly sliced lemon wedges. Perhaps the previous reviewers that wanted more kick used plain tomato juice instead of V-8. V-8 also comes in a spicy version that would probably be good also.
