Shake with cracked ice and strain into old-fashioned glass.
Beef bouillon is concentrated and typically saltier; beef broth is thinner. Use chilled beef bouillon as written for proper consistency and flavor intensity. Broth will dilute the drink.
Mix and chill the beef bouillon ahead, but add vodka and seasonings just before serving to prevent dilution as ice melts.
This recipe makes one 4.5 oz cocktail (1.5 oz vodka + 3 oz bouillon). Scale proportions for multiple drinks.
Serve in a shot glass or rocks glass over ice, depending on whether you prefer it as a shot or sipped cocktail.
Gin or aquavit work as alternatives, though they'll shift the flavor profile away from the original neutral base.
