clamato juice

Sometimes it seems there are as many Caesar recipes as there are Canadians of drinking age. The building blocks are usually the same: vodka, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, spices (for the rim of the glass) and clam-tomato juice, be it the standard Mott’s Clamato or one of the newer brands. But every bar and citizen has a special twist, usually in the departments of spices and garnish. This recipe is an adaptation of the one used by the bartender London Richard at his restaurant Sorso, near Calgary, Alberta. For vodka, he prefers Calgary’s own Burwood Vodka. For the spiced rim, the nationally popular mix known as Montreal steak spice plays a part. The garnish is a pickled pineapple and a bacon-wrapped, cream-cheese stuffed pickle. This version is a bit less complicated. But since a Caesar is a form of individual expression, follow your creative urge wherever it takes you. As long as you’ve got the Clamato and a decently complex spiced rim, you’ll end up with a wonderfully savory eye-opener that may render the Bloody Mary a dim memory.

How about substituting V8 for tomato juice?

I used my juicer to juice fresh tomatoes and celery. I swapped clam juice for shrimp broth as I had shrimp shells in my freezer. Jus boiled em til pink as you would with the whole shrimp then strained the broth! Fantastic.

Loved this!! Great recipe, I made my own tomato juice for it as well

Awesome recipe. I followed it to the letter and it's perfect, tastes just like the clamato I've been buying. We wanted clamato without the sugar, for summer sipping. Love the recipe, it's a keeper. Thanks for posting it.

Yours is the first recipe I found when searching for homemade clamato juice so I'm going to try it first!
