oyster shooter
Got to love an oyster shooter. Raw oysters? Check. Bloody mary flavors? Check. Tequila? Check, check.
Or at least this is what I like my shooters to be made of.
And, topped with a diced cucumber salad to boot.
It’s pretty much the best start to any holiday meal, or entertaining get together you can have.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup v8 juice
1/2 cup tequila (I like reposado for this dish)
2 1/2 tsp horseradish
1/2 tsp celery salt
1/2 tsp worcestershire
juice of 1/4 lemon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dijon
1/2 tsp honey
1 1/2 Tbsp minced cucumber
1/2 tsp minced cilantro
1 1/2 Tbsp minced celery leaves
1/2 tsp minced shallots
6 oysters, shucked
Directions:
In a spouted container, whisk together v8, tequila, horseradish, celery salt, worcestershire, lemon juice, dijon, salt, and honey.
In a small bowl mix together minced cucumber, cilantro, celery leaves, and shallots.
Place oysters in 2 oz shot glasses.
Pour bloody mary mixture over top leaving a tiny bit of room at the top.
Place a spoonful of cucumber salad at the top of each glass.
Enjoy responsibly.
