Oystertini image

Throw an oyster in the gin! The oyster not only does the work of the olive, providing texture and salt and visual interest, but also covers for the vermouth with its liquor-a variation on the "dirty martini."

Provided by Rowan Jacobsen

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 ounces (60 ml) gin
1 raw oyster, liquor reserved
1 strip of lemon peel

Steps:

  • Pour the gin and oyster liquor into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well and let sit for 30 seconds, or longer for a weaker drink.
  • Run the lemon peel around the rim of a martini glass. Strain the gin into the glass, then twist the peel over the glass to release a drop of lemon oil.
  • Drop in the oyster and serve.
