Ever since man distilled his first liquor, he has been bedeviled by a single question: How do I combine this bitter liquor with the fatty broths I love?
What’s that? Man hasn’t ever tried to make a cocktail that features rich, meaty broths because that’s insane? Well, somebody tell Campbell’s, because their new line of “brothtails” seeks to answer precisely that question, in the most dismaying way imaginable. (Okay, I wrote that broth cocktails are nuts, but apparently they’re real enough to warrant coverage in Food & Wine. For the sake of preserving my will to live, let’s agree right now that brothtails are nuts and that we’re not on board with them.)
The Campbell’s Brothtails campaign is simple: Provide four free cocktail recipes (and accompanying hors d’oeuvres recipes) for delicious drinks that prominently feature broths from Campbell’s Canadian Ready to Use line. The idea may be straightforward, but its execution has left something to be desired, by which I mean these cocktails do not taste good. I should know — I tasted them for you.
Now, full disclosure: I was not able to test these brothtails using the Campbell’s Ready to Use broths as intended. These boxed soups aren’t sold in the U.S., and my Canadian soup mule totally burned me. I ended up consulting the broths’ ingredients lists and jerry-rigging my own versions at home with the help of such mixologically questionable additions as Thai chili paste and instant ramen seasoning packets.

There’s a reason it’s not sold in the US......................
The crappier it tastes, the better it must be for you.
I’ll never understand the combo of liquor and broth.
when I saw the title I knew it had to be you posting it. i think this must rank right up there with the most disgusting things that I dont want to try.
clamato and vodka is a big deal in Canada.
If it’s from Campbell’s it must have tons of salt................to hide the taste!................
foiled again!
sounds ok to me :)

Give me cocktail..hold the broth.
“when I saw the title I knew it had to be you (RummyChick) posting it.”
Funny. Don’t know why but it’s funny.
Bullshot!
