Oyster Shots/Cocktails

Dirty Martini Oyster Shooters

A splash of olive brine qualifies this oyster martini shooter shooter recipe as “dirty.” The hit of cocktail sauce stirred into each makes them downright off-color. It’s the best bad influence to cross your lips. Consider yourself warned (and tempted).
