Oysters are wonderful mollusks considered an exotic food in many cultures. Oysters have a unique flavor and taste. That’s the reason why I use them in some of my recipes, to impress and please those who try them. Today I’m going to share a one-of-a-kind cocktail, based in oysters. I created it while looking through the different recipes I’ve tried - not only in my country (Venezuela), but also on different Caribbean islands. As a little girl, I remember my father buying oysters from peddlers on the beach, right there on the seashore; we would eat them with just a few drops of lemon and they tasted like heaven. These days, those same oyster peddlers have gotten creative and make magical cocktails with oysters and other delicious and ingredients that awaken your senses. I’m sure that you will feel the same way when you try this recipe!
