Cock And Bull Shot

Like a Bloody Mary without the tomato juice, versions of bouillon drinks with vodka like this one are found in both hot and cold styles. This cold shot has both beef and chicken bouillon in it, which allows for the name Cock and Bull.

A "cock and bull" story describes a tale that is far-fetched and fanciful. It comes from, most likely, Aesop's Fables of animals or the Arabian Nights sequence.

Not a bad drink, especially if you are feeling a little under the weather. The spice really helps with the sinuses, as does the broth.
  • 2 oz. vodka
  • 2 oz. beef bouillon 
  • 2 oz. chicken bouillon
  • 1/2 oz. lemon juice
  • celery salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • Tabasco to taste
  • Worcestershire sauce to taste
Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice (do not shake, it gets foamy!) and stir. Pour into a double Old Fashioned glass.
