Amber Moon

Amber Moon is an American cocktail made with a combination of whiskey, raw egg, and Tabasco sauce. To prepare it, an egg should first be cracked into a highball glass, followed by whiskey and Tabasco, which can also be served on the side.


It is also possible to blend all ingredients together, if desired. Although not much is known about the origins of Amber Moon, it is considered a great hangover cure or "hair of the dog". Just make sure that the yolks remains intact and serve Amber Moon at room temperature.


In popular culture, the cocktail is featured in the 1974 movie Murder on the Orient Express, based on the eponymous novel by Agatha Christie, where it was prepared with vodka instead of whiskey, and in recent times the cocktail can be seen in Netflix's show Russian Doll, starring Natasha Lyonne.
