Tequila Shooters
- Start with great shucking oysters. We suggest a small to mid-size deep-cupped ROC Reserve
- Next, add a top-shelf tequila. Our favorite is Casa Amigos, but you can use whatever you have on hand. Shuck the oyster.
- Pour a drop or two of your tequila of choice on the oyster. Add a spritz of lime.
- Say, mmmmm!

Margarita Shots
- For a fresh margarita shot: Mix a shot of your favorite tequila, a couple of drops of triple sec, and lots of fresh-squeezed lime juice.
- Add a bit of crushed ice.
- Shuck your oyster, imbibe your oyster, pour the margarita shot in the shell.
- Hello, heaven!

Hot Sauce Shooters
- Order oysters from Real Oyster Cult.
- Add the Cult Classic + Lost at Sea Mignon-Nips.
- Shuck your oysters.
- Set out the Horseradish (HAZE) and the Hot Sauce (Lost at Sea) Nips. And a couple of lime wedges.
- Add a drop or two of your favorite Tequila to the shucked oyster, add a drop of the Hot sauce (Lost at Sea) then a spritz of lime. Shoot the oyster.
- Repeat with the Horseradish (HAZE) mignonette.
- Instead of a spritz of lime, add a spritz of lemon or simply shoot the oyster, horseradish (HAZE), and Tequila.
- Party. On.
