Ah… the appeal of the Oyster Shooter. It’s rich micronutrients like copper, manganese, vitamin D, and zinc, as well as the antioxidant properties of the tomato juice and horseradish. This versatile quaff is practically a health shot! But, even better than that, this popular shooter, easily served as an appetizer, part of a seafood spread, or as a sexy nightcap with your partner, is high up on our list of sensual drinks that fall into the aphrodisiac category. We love it so much that we have added it to our Aphrodisiac Board for Two, a perfect treat to share with your partner for Valentine’s Day, or anytime you want to set a romantic, sensual mood.
How Do You Drink an Oyster Shooter?
The point of an oyster shooter is to tip both the oyster and the liquor back into your mouth at the same time. This might take a little bit of finesse if you’ve never done it before. Hold the Bloody Mary shot and the oyster shooter in the same hand and tilt your head back so you get both the taste of the oyster and the liquor at once.
