"Oh my God, they're blown away. People are coming in just for it,"
"They've seen it on Tik Tok, Instagram. A lot of them are saying their friends had mentioned it. We've had a ton of influencers come in. In the beginning, we were selling a few, now we're selling anywhere from 20 to 25 a week."
"Once a bachelorette party ordered five for the table. They had a ton of photos of pulling it apart."
Claudio's Waterfront in Greenport serves a $120 Bloody Mary garnished with a 1.25-pound Maine lobster, eight shrimp, bacon strips, olives, celery, and grilled jalapeños. The restaurant introduced the lavish cocktail last year and sales surged after customers posted photos and videos on TikTok and Instagram. One TikTok video reached 3.1 million views and generated widespread attention. Initial weekly sales were a few cocktails, growing to about 20–25 per week as influencers and diners visited. Some diners express discomfort with mixing lobster and drinks, while others order multiple cocktails for group celebrations.
