The Prairie Oyster – Another shooter that usually signals a quick end to a night, the Prairie Oyster mixes up bourbon, a raw egg and Tabasco. In the hands of a master mixologist this combination can actually become something delicious. As presented, however, with a hefty dose of hot sauce crushing any nuance and sweetness from the bourbon, and the viscous egg yolk sliding through the teeth and down the drinker's gullet to sit like a lead weight in the stomach, just begging to come back up, it crushes what little hope there was left of a nausea free evening.
-1 oz. bourbon (it really doesn't matter what kind you use)
-1 egg
-Several dashes of your favorite hot sauce
Drop all the ingredients together in a lowball glass and mix gently, so as not to break the egg yolk. The idea is to feel the solid mass as you drink it – as if it was an oyster shooter. Some people pinch their nose when they drink this, others try to down it as quickly as possible. But most end up tasting this drink twice no matter what they do.
