When the Caucus Club, a renowned Detroit steakhouse, reopened after being closed for years, the restaurant’s signature midcentury cocktail, the Bullshot, was also resurrected. The drink was originally a combination of vodka, beef broth and savory seasonings, but in its current iteration, Moletto—an Italian tomato gin—replaces vodka. A housemade jus, Bloody Mary mix and candied pancetta round out the drink.
