Frozen Vodka-Laced Oysters Three Ways
Red Chili Ice:
2 cups Thai chili sauce
1/2 cup vodka
1 cup water
Sour Apple Ice:
1 cup diced apples
1 cup lemon juice
1 cup diced sorrel
1/2 cup vodka
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
Vanilla Ice:
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup vodka
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 cup water
Oysters:
3 to 4 dozen oysters
Crushed ice
Using separate saucepans for each topping, combine ingredients for each. Bring
to a boil and simmer approximately 15 to 20 minutes to allow alcohol to
evaporate. Pour each mixture into individual pans or bowls to freeze. This
should be done a daybefore serving.
Shuck and thoroughly clean oysters, making sure the meat is free of sand and
other particles. Place oysters in bowl filled with crushed ice, or wrap in
plastic and place on ice until serving time.
To serve, sprinkle each oyster with about 1 tablespoon of flavored ice. To do
this, use a fork to shave the ice with a back and forth motion. (Store leftover
flavored ice in the freezer.)
Makes 6 servings (about 6 oysters per serving).
