Make a Red Eye

For anyone who's seen the Tom Cruise movie Cocktail, you'll be familiar with this drink. It's definitely a pick-me-up/morning after drink to get you up and running.

Ingredients

Method 1:

  • 1 oz (30 mL) vodka
  • 6 oz (180 mL) refrigerated tomato juice
  • 12 oz (350 mL) beer
  • 1 egg

Method 2:
(Amounts free, up to you)

  • 1/2 amount chilled beer
  • 1/2 amount tomato juice
  • a few drops of Tabasco

Steps

  1. Pour 1 ounce of vodka into the frosted mug.
  2. Add 6 ounces of refrigerated tomato juice into the mug.
  3. Open one can of beer (12 ounces) and pour it into the mug and leave upside down to let the beer pour into the juice.
  4. Crack egg. Drop contents into the mug. Do not stir.
  5. Serve drink.
  6. Finished.

  1. Pour the two ingredients into a beer glass.
  2. Stir with a swizzle stick.
  3. Serve. Do not bother with a garnish––this is a pick-me-up, not a fancy cocktail.
