Chesapeake Bay Oyster Shooters

Ingredients

• 6 to 12 freshly shucked oysters
• 1 tablespoon minced green olives
• 1 teaspoon minced shallots
• 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 cup vermouth
• 1/2 cup vodka
• 1/4 cup crushed ice
• Hot pepper sauce

Directions

Place 6 chilled shot glasses on a work surface. Place 1 or 2 oysters in each of the glasses, and set aside. In a cocktail shaker, combine the remaining ingredients, except the hot sauce. Place a lid on the shaker, and shake vigorously for 30 seconds, or until the ice is melted and the shaker is cold. Strain and pour about 1 ounce of the martini blend into each shot glass, and top with one or two drops of hot sauce. Serve immediately.
