THE BUCKSHOT
Venison stock, vodka, Worcestershire, hot sauce, celery salt, lemon juice, and cayenne come together in a savory shot that drinks a little like a stripped-down Bloody Mary. You can serve it cold over ice or warm it up for a late-season hunting drink.
Ingredients
- 4 oz Venison Stock
- 2 oz Vodka
- 2 dashes Good Worcestershire Sauce
- 2 dashes Hot Sauce (Vinegar Based is Best)
- 1 Pinch Celery Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1 Pinch Cayenne Pepper (If you like spicy drinks)
- 1 Deer Jerky Sliver (for garnishing)
Instructions
- If drinking cold, pour all ingredients into a shaker glass with ice, shake for 10 seconds and pour into your favorite drinking glass.
- If drinking warm, heat up the vodka and stock until warm. Pour into a shaker glass with all the other ingredients, shake well, divvy up and then enjoy.
- Don't forget that deer jerky garnish!
NOTES
- Use good stock here. A clean, well-made venison stock matters because it is the base flavor of the drink.
- Shake it cold with ice. For the chilled version, add everything to a shaker with ice, shake for about 10 seconds, and pour into your glass.
- Warm it gently if needed. For the warm version, heat the stock and vodka just until warm, not boiling, then shake with the other ingredients before serving.
- Adjust the heat at the end. Add more cayenne or hot sauce only after tasting, so it does not get out of balance.
- Don't skip the garnish. A sliver of deer jerky fits the drink and gives it a little more character.
