密歇根新闻广播 底特律最受欢迎的饮料出炉啦!

 

The Bullshot just might be the most popular drink to ever come out of Detroit. In the 1950s, it was even more popular than the Last Word from the Detroit Athletic¹ Club or the Hummer from the Bayview Yacht Club.

“It was known as a ‘freak drink,’” Tammy Coxen of Tammy’s Tastings said of the Bullshot mixed drink. “It was something that really was supposed to freak a bartender out, maybe challenge them. So, celebrities² loved it; this was a way they could establish themselves,” she explained. (For more, visit here.)

This interesting concoction³ was first mixed up in 1952 at the Caucus⁴ Club in the Penobscot Building. The Caucus Club just reopened at its original site this month.

What was so freaky about the Bullshot? The recipe includes Campbell’s Beef Broth⁵.

“The original recipe calls for it because the owner of the bar was friends with an advertising⁶ executive who had an account with Campbell’s. So there was a little bit of ‘co-marketing’ going on shall we say,” Coxen said.

The reopened Caucus Club is serving the Bullshot, but it’s an updated version of the drink.

It’s a lot like a bloody⁷ mary, but the beef broth stands in for tomato juice.

For Cheers! we mixed a cold Bullshot, but it’s said that it can also be served warm in the winter.
