Notes
This recipe is easy to double for a party or Bloody Mary bar.
How to make a Caesar: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 2 ounces of vodka with 4 ounces of Clamato juice. Shake well, then pour into a highball glass filled with ice. Garnish each with a celery stalk and lemon wedges.
How to make a Michelada: If you plan to use your Clamato juice for Micheladas, use fresh lime juice instead of lemon juice. Rim a glass with chili-lime seasoning and fill with ice. Squeeze a lime wedge into the glass, and drop in the spent shell. Add 4 ounces Clamato juice and a pinch of salt leftover from rimming the glass. Stir to mix. Slowly pour 3 to 4 ounces of Mexican beer over top. Stir gently. Garnish with a lime wedge.
