I love oyster shooters. Although I've never had one with alcohol in it before, this looked like what I'd like for lunch right this very minute!! In fact, make that 10 of them - to help me get over the hump. It is Wednesday isn't it?




INGREDIENTS:
1 chilled shot glass





A splash of V-8 or tomato juice



Several drops of fresh squeezed lemon juice


A pinch of sea salt and a dash of tabasco




1 freshly shucked oyster




Top up with ice cold vodka and a grind of the pepper mill




METHOD:
Toss the shot back and simultaneously chew the oyster as you swallow and enjoy the layers of tomato, lemon, vodka, and the sea tang of the oyster as they flow over your palate.

TOOLS:
A napkin to wipe up the drizzle dripping down your cheek.

Never had an oyster shot before! Though I do love oysters...and I love Vodka...hmmm...maybe I should try one.

Hmmn Oyster Shot......
It does look good with all the ice and vodka but I'm not sure if I'm brave enough. Prefer my oysters cooked you know. (smile)

I'll stick to Smirnoff Ice - Thank You. LOL

Calabar Girl - awe - why not be adventurous? You might be surprised. Like Green Eggs and Ham for example... :-)
