Tips
For best flavour keep oysters, cucumber mixture and shooter glasses chilled.
Look for oysters that feel heavy in the hand and shells that are tightly shut. Don’t eat oysters that are already open even if they shut after being nudged. Store oysters in refrigerator with a wet towel draped over them so the shells don’t dry out.
Substitute vodka with gin or tequila.
