History buffs may recall that in 1961, Barbra Streisand was a Caucus Club lounge singer. The club was also a point of origin for another star: the Bullshot (a Bloody Mary with beef stock instead of tomato juice). In the 1950s, it became a coast-to-coast hit. When George Sboukis reopened the legendary club, he didn鈥檛 want a 鈥渞ear-view-mirror鈥 look back. Here鈥檚 a reimagined version of the original, subbing out vodka for an Italian gin that has a hint of tomato. Sboukis says crowds are coming back for more. Now if he could just get Babs to sing on a Saturday night or two鈥
