Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces fresh oysters, shucked
- 6 fluid ounces tequila (silver or blanco)
- 3 fluid ounces fresh lime juice
- 6 fluid ounces tomato juice
- 6 dashes hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco)
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons coarse sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 4 pieces lime wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
Start by shucking the fresh oysters and placing one oyster in each of 12 shooter glasses. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep them chilled.
In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, fresh lime juice, tomato juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, coarse sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Add the ice cubes to the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.
Strain the tequila mixture evenly into the prepared shooter glasses, pouring it over the oysters.
Garnish each shooter glass with a lime wedge on the rim or gently squeeze a few drops of lime juice into the shooter before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Tequila Oyster Shooters while they are fresh and chilled.
