Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces fresh shucked oysters
- 6 tablespoons vodka
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons tomato juice
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco)
- 1.5 teaspoons horseradish
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- optional celery salt (for garnish, optional)
- 4 optional lemon wedges (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Ensure the oysters are fresh and properly shucked. Reserve them in their shell or a clean container if already shucked, keeping them cold until ready to use.
In a small pitcher or mixing bowl, combine the vodka, lemon juice, tomato juice, hot sauce, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Stir well to create the shooter mixture.
Set out 4 shot glasses, and gently place 1 fresh oyster in the bottom of each glass.
Pour an equal amount of the prepared shooter mixture over each oyster.
If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of celery salt on top and serve each shooter with a lemon wedge on the rim for squeezing.
Serve immediately while cold, encouraging diners to tip the shot glass back and enjoy the oyster and flavorful liquid together in one sip.
