Thursday, February 23, 2006BLEEEEECH! Week continues...
Keeping with the running theme, I have two more disgusting cocktails to pass along. The first comes compliments of "Zerlesen." Apparently, this one is a favorite of PJ O'Rourke.
THE CHICKEN SHOT 2 oz. Chicken Bouillon (Cold) 2 oz. Beef Bouillon (Cold) 1/2 oz. Lemon Juice (Fresh) Tabasco Sauce (To taste) Worcestershire Sauce (To taste) Pepper (To taste) Celery Salt (To taste) Wait...huh? No booze? I checked three different recipes and they were all non-alcoholic. Since when is O'Rourke a teetotaler? OK, fine, he merely mentioned this drink in one of his books but who knows? He could be chugging four of these with lunch everyday. EMERIL'S OYSTER SHOOTER RECIPE 2 3/4 cups tomato juice 4 ounces pepper vodka 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon freshly grated horseradish, or prepared horseradish, drained 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce Pinch salt Pinch freshly ground black pepper 2 dozen small-sized shucked oysters (serves six) I've never done an oyster shooter. I won't do one in a boat. I won't do one on a goat. I won't do one in the Caspian Sea. I won't do one in a field of...peas. OK, I got nothing. While I'm sure there's far more disgusting drinks out there, I can't name one. Oysters? In a drink? WHY?!! If you're going to go that far, why not toss in a sardine, a tentacle and a little bit of seaweed that has sat on a beach for a few weeks, just for good measure? All I have to say is BLEEEEECH! Coincidentally, the Portland Not-Quite-Daily rolled out a series of odd drink recipes in a post yesterday.
