A shot of vodka mixed with beef consomm straight out of the tin, Bullshot used to be a cool cocktail, created in the 1950’s America.⠀
⠀
It is a cousin of Bloody Mary, another savoury cocktail. We boosted the Umami with our secret weapon, Miso.⠀
⠀
In our effort to create a vegan version of this cocktail, we discovered that vodka plus Kombu Dashi stock actually tastes like an oyster! We named it Vullshot. It has to be tried to be believed.⠀
