Carefully shuck the fresh oysters, keeping the meat intact and reserving the liquid in the shell. Set aside the oysters on their half shells.
In a small bowl, combine the tomato juice, vodka, lemon juice, hot sauce, prepared horseradish, black pepper, and celery salt. Mix thoroughly to create the shooter mixture.
Place one oyster, along with its reserved liquid, into a shot glass or small serving glass.
Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of the prepared shooter mixture over the oyster in each glass.
Gently stir with a small spoon, ensuring the flavors are evenly mixed.
Repeat for the remaining oysters and shot glasses.
Serve immediately with a lemon wedge garnish on the side for squeezing before consuming.
