- 1 asparagus spear
- 1 tbsp lump crabmeat
- 1 tsp butter
- 1 pinch salt

Add the asparagus spear to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until tender. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, lightly heat the lump crabmeat with a pinch of salt and pepper, just until warmed through. Set aside.
Fill a cocktail shaker with the ice cubes, vodka, dry vermouth, and lemon juice.
Shake vigorously for about 20 seconds to chill the mixture thoroughly.
Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass.
Garnish the martini by resting the cooked asparagus spear across the rim of the glass and placing the warmed crabmeat delicately on top of the asparagus.
Add a lemon twist to the edge of the glass for a final touch of elegance.
Serve immediately and enjoy the sophisticated flavors of the Oscartini!
