Clamato is the savory base behind many Mexican and North American classics: tomato juice meets clam broth, rounded off with lime and seasoning. Served straight and well chilled, it is a refreshingly savory, non-alcoholic drink. If you like, build a Caesar or a Michelada on top of it.
Instructions
- Stir tomato juice and clam broth together in a pitcher.
- Add lime juice and Worcestershire sauce.
- Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Fill a highball glass with ice cubes and pour in the mixture.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and serve well chilled.
Garnish: Lime wedge
Pro tip: Season the mixture generously with salt, pepper and a splash of lime - the savory character lives on balanced seasoning.
