and a respectable cocktail, depending on how you make it. Either way, this drink includes the use of a raw egg, so if consuming raw eggs freaks you out, bypass the egg or use a pasteurized one. The way in which the egg yolk is added to the glass without breaking it is thought to resemble an oyster, hence its name.
Ingredients

Basic recipe

Crack the egg first. Tip the egg yolk into the glass without breaking it. (If you can manage that with a hangover, you're on the mend!)

Pour in the teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce and 2 dashes of Tabasco sauce.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Drink it down in one go. If you're lucky, you'll chase away that hangover. Have some rest.

Vinegar and tomato prairie oyster

Pour all of the ingredients except for the egg yolk into the glass.

Crack the egg yolk carefully into the glass on top of the ingredients already in there. Avoid breaking it.

Tip it down the hatch in one gulp. Rest some more.

Brandy prairie oyster (cocktail version)

Pour the brandy, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, red wine vinegar and tomato ketchup into a cocktail shaker. Shake briefly.

Strain the liquid into the glass.

Crack the egg. Float the unbroken egg yolk on top of the drink. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper.

Swallow it all at once. This one may be enjoyed as a cocktail in its own right, no need for a hangover.

Finished.

What's your reaction?
