The Rabid Dog, Wściekły Pies, is a cocktail that is currently (2003) popular in Poland.

• 1 part raspberry syrup
• 3 parts well chilled Polish vodka
• 2-4 drops of Tabasco sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper

Fill 1/4 of a small shot glass (25 g) with raspberry syrup. Slowly pour vodka over it. The vodka should form a separate layer (use a small spoon to guide vodka to the surface of the syrup). Add drops of Tabasco or a pinch of Cayenne on top. Drink in one gulp.

Variations: Other berries (e.g., blackberry) might be substituted for raspberry.
