What is Clamato Juice? 

Just as the name suggests it’s a combination of tomato and clam juices. The addition of hot sauce, lemon juice, black pepper and Worcestershire sauce gives it a hearty, spicy taste. It can be served as a drink on it’s own, but more commonly it is used in cocktails. It’s also used in the preparation of Mexican style shrimp cocktails and ceviche.

Ingredients Needed:

• Tomato Juice: this can either be a store bought tomato juice, look for one is pure tomato juice, no other ingredients. Or you can make your own tomato juice by blending up canned or fresh tomatoes. Add water as needed too thin.
• Clam Juice: this can be found in bottles in the market next to where the tuna and other canned fishes are.
• Lemon Juice: freshly squeezed 
• Worcestershire Sauce: adds a nice savory flavor.
• Hot Sauce: use any brand or type. Add as needed or desired.
• Celery Salt: adds a perfect hint of celery into the drink.
• Black Pepper: I love using coarse ground black pepper in this juice, but regular pepper works as well.
