Why would you add clamato when you're already using fresh oysters and fresh tomatoes?

Did jack come up with that cocktail?

Oysters don't need anything
If you want to get crazy add a little mignonette

the red tomato color and the clam flavor is sweet.
cuts the sharpness of the limes

Why mash them and put them into a glass when you could just put toppings on the oyster in the shell? This looks like actual vomit.

The only reason I could think of is that it's for a party where people are standing up and want food that they can simply pick up and eat in a bite.

>mash them
its an oyster shooter. climb up the stairs and ask your mom about them..you grab it and slurp it down. Whole oysters you have to chew more. way more. its awkward and makes more mess on the guests. Cutting the oysters is much easier for the guests to slurp down. also stretches the amount of oysters.

Do you realize that you're only argument is "People don't want to chew!" and if you can't afford enough oysters for your guests then you'd better stick to the jello shots.

Not him, and though I think the idea of an oyster shooter is stupid (especially with fucking juliened onions), it's still supposed to be a shooter.

Take those green pepper and tomato out
add thinly sliced Garlic,Shallots,minced Bird's eye chili,Coriander and a dash of light fish sauce to the receipe
>>7839071
Would try. But it seems to me that oysters on the half shell with a dash of Tabasco -optional- is a far more simpler way to serve them. Neat idea though.
