History
Bull Shot is a savory, broth-based highball that blends vodka with chilled beef bouillon, lemon, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and seasoning, then serves it long in a Collins glass. It drinks like a boozy, well-seasoned beef consommé with a peppery kick, offering warmth, umami, and gentle heat rather than sweetness. Despite the name, it’s very much a sippable drink, not a one-gulp shooter, making it suitable for slow enjoyment at brunch or on cold days. A cult classic for adventurous drinkers who enjoy culinary-style cocktails with depth and salinity.
