Kentucky Oyster

[Cowboy Joe]

One of the standard morning drinks in Portland is the Prairie Oyster, usually made with gin, egg yolk, pepper, and tabasco. Sometimes there's a few other garnishes, too. Usually served up as a shot, to cure the hangover.

I've come up with my own version, which is less of a hangover cure and a warm you up on a cold evening.

Fill a mixing cup with ice, add a shot of rye, about two ounches of egg beaters, a half tea spoon of cream, and a dash of bitters. Shake to mix, and strain in to whatever you have on hand....a coffee mug works as well as anything. What you get is a good, smooth protein shake. This is similiar to a flip, I guess, but unsweetened and a little less creamy.

add a shot of rye,

Shouldn't that be bourbon for the "Kentucky" part?

Well, I was using Kentucky rye. So there. But if I had bourbon on hand I would have used it.

I thought Kentucky Oysters were deep fried sheep balls.
