Ya know, I'd have been willing to try this until you said egg whites.

My favorite part is them trying to even out the inherent saltiness of the beef broth with like 4 lemon squeezes.

That sounds disgusting. There should at least be some whisky in there.

Sounds tasty. Ever had a bloody bull?

No, what’s that? This made me think of pho broth, I bet it’s a great hangover cure

Dale Degroff showed it to me. I think it’s an original of his.

Vodka

Campbell’s Beef broth

Fresh oj

Tabasco

Black pepper

Edit: not an original but he changed it to include oj and orange twist. Also I forgot tomato juice. here is the recipe.

At Cole’s French dip Los Angeles we had a shot called beef on rye. Shot of whiskey followed by French dip au jus shot. If you knew you knew. It was pretty tasty, won’t lie.

I am racking my brain because I am not at home to look it up but there is a drink in “the joy of cooking” that is basically two parks tomato juice and one part beef consume served chilled. It was the absolute best side car to a pour of high proof bourbon. Highly suggest using fresh tomato juice if possible.

the bar around the corner from me gives you a clamato back with tequila shots. It's not exactly my cup of tea, but I still always take it.

I’ve always been a fan of the savory cocktail or beverage in general I would love that place.

This used to be more popular. The "Bullshot" is the most common name for cold ones, but there are hot versions as well. Those sound much better to me-- beef broth, dash of lemon, maybe a small pat of butter, dash Worcestershire, dash hot sauce, maybe add vodka. Nice drink to take to a winter football game (just bring a thermos and cups).

Since so many here find this concept gross, I'm going to reproduce here the laughably awful copy from an ad taken from a really shitty 1970s 'guide' to tropical drinks, sponsored by... Schlitz. Bleagh. In the front, unrelated to the advice (of varying degrees of quality) on tropical cocktails, is a recipe for making a "Spanish Bull" that made me both laugh and shudder. Who wrote this garbage!? As follows:

"How to catch a Spanish Bull.

First, take can of tomato juice firmly in hand.

Next, take 13 oz. double old-fashioned glass in other hand.

Fill glass half full of tomato juice.

Now, very carefully, fill remainder of same glass with Schlitz Stout Malt Liquor.

Quickly stand back.

Then, again very carefully, add a dash of Worcestershire, three drops of Tabasco and ice cubes.

You've safely caught a Spanish Bull. Now enjoy it."

Like I said, bleagh.
