The Blue Crab is a mixed alcoholic beverage.
The orgins of the blue crab is not certain. Credits may be givin to Ivan van Rensburg, Francois Neil Botes and possibly to Manus de Jager mixing different drinks during a very confusing summer holiday. Is is believed that the first Blue Crabs appaered in 2002. By 2008 it did not only reach notoriety in Still bay but started reaching out its claws to other parts of South Africa as well. Most notably Stellenbosch, Brackenfell, Bellville and Durbanville.
The Name
Before the days of Smirnoff Storm only Smirnoff Spin were available. Smirnoff Spin uses blue packaging that can explain the origins of 'Blue'. Modern day Crabs are mixed with Smirnoff Storm witch comes in a red bottle. 'Crab' can be attributed to dance and general behaviour of people sampling this exquisite beverage.
The Drink
It is a very potent concoction and is not for sale to persons under 18 and not recommended unless to want to be in danger of behaving like a crab. You purchass a double cane with lots of ice (vodka is also permitted) and mix it with a Smirnoff Storm (Smirnoff Black Ice Malt Beverage in the US) You will get a potent drink that is pleasant tasting sure the get any party going.
