The bull shot is a drink for acquired tastes—one that you will either love or hate—though it has many devoted fans. It was created in the early 1950s and is often attributed to the Caucus Club in Detroit. Though it was a big hit through '70s (even making an appearance in "A Clockwork Orange" in 1971), the bull shot's making a surprising comeback as it appeals to drinkers looking for that retro vibe.

What is this popular concoction? Well, if you take the tomato juice out of the ​bloody Mary and replace it with beef broth or consommé, you have a bull shot. Just like that favorite brunch drink, it can be spiced and flavored to your taste.

You may even want to join bull shot fans who enjoy it warm in the winter. In that aspect, it's a lot like drinking spiked soup.
