Bloody Elixir

This drink gets its name from Elixir, a neighborhood saloon in San Francisco whose owner, H. Joseph Ehrmann, specializes in hand-crafted cocktails. For a more Chesapeake-style garnish, stab a freshly fried oyster, lemon wedge, and dill pickle onto a wooden skewer.

Ingredients

Old Bay Seasoning to rim glass (or to taste in the recipe)

2 oz Square One Organic Vodka

4 shakes (about 1 tsp) Dried dill

4 shakes (about 1 tsp) Ground white pepper

4 shakes (about 1 tsp) Celery salt

2 dashes Worcestershire sauce

2 dashes Tabasco Sauce

About .5 oz Elixir Juice (a mixture of olive brine, dill pickle brine and various other pickle brines) or pickle brine

Juice of 1 lemon wedge

1 tsp Prepared horseradish

4 oz Tomato juice

Kosher dill pickle and cooked thick-cut bacon slice for garnish

Directions

Coat the rim of a pint glass with Old Bay Seasoning.

Add the remaining ingredients to a shaker and fill with ice. Shake lightly—you want to mix the ingredients without melting too much of the ice—and pour (unstrained) into the prepared glass.

Garnish with a kosher dill pickle spear and a cooked slice of thick-cut bacon.

Don’t use a straw; drink from the rim in order to get a little of the Old Bay with each sip.
