One such cocktail is the Prairie Oyster, made to fix hangovers.
The recipe is Worcestershire sauce, tomato juice, vinegar, pepper and a raw egg.
It's meant to be swallowed in a single gulp, so that the yolk remains unbroken.
Who thought this up in the first place!?
The cocktail "Nikolaschka" is an example of this. It uses cognac, lemon, coffee and sugar, but...
First, you put the lemon, coffee, and sugar in your mouth, then you take a big swig of the cognac!
Of course, you can't even talk until you drink it all. It's necessary to chug it.
But cognac contains 40% alcohol, so those with low tolerances should not attempt this.
It is said this very prohibition paved a way for the "cocktail culture" to bloom.
Alcohol made in secret tended to taste terrible, so people began mixing it with anything and everything to make it more enjoyable.
These are the roots of the modern cocktail. The more you stomp on a weed, the more it thrives... My, that's deep.
