Bull Shot

This drink is also known as a bloody bull shot for obvious reasons. It is inconclusive as to why the bull shot appears to proceed the Bloody Bull drink, this is an unusual characteristic of drink trends. Nevertheless, this drink is surely a great hangover cure as well as a delicious morning shot. Recipes appears as early as:

Walter, the improbable hound: a socially insignificant study by Frederick Ayer in 1958

"one now drinks vodka with condensed bouillon, and are pleased to note that this is called a "Bull-Shot.""

LIFE - Feb 24, 1958 - Page 117 Vol. 44, No. 8

"Bullshot - The vodka drink with beef in it. You can't miss with the "Bullshot.'' Simply pour good beef bouillon over ice, add a shot of Smirnoff Vodka, and garnish with a twist of lemon. Or, serve it steaming hot in a cup."

And a personal favorite bartender's guide series prints:

The catering industry employee: official journal of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees' International Alliance and Bartenders' by International League of America, Hotel & Restaurant Employees and Bartenders International Union, Hotel Employees & Restaurant Employees International Union in 1959

"Yeah, like when some guy comes in and orders a Velvet Hammer, a Black Russian or a Bullshot," scornfully remarked Jones. "We try to keep up so we know that everyone of them has a vodka base. Most of the time it's the best a bartender can do"

This drink dates between 1949 and 1955 and contained at least as of then:

Vodka (Smirnoff claims this drink as early as 1958)

Beef Bouillon (which is a beef stock reduction)

Fresh Lemon Juice

Table Salt
