OK
I have to ask cause rightnow its about 70/30
Side note: I have tommorrow off after being on call for the last 7 days. I am now able to consume adult beverages containing aclohol.
Ok back to subject:
I got hooked on this stuff in Yuma AZ and I wanted to know how many other people in other areas know about it. Like I said it's 70/30 so far with 30 being in the Yes crowd.
Clamato is like tomato juice but i's made from clams (as far as I know) It is an EXCELENT additive to beer or an equally EXCELLENT ingrediant to make bloody marrys with.
So Is it available in your area....have you heard of it......have you ever tried it in the above mentioned arangment?

It's available here, never tried it though.
Additive to beer? wtf? Sounds disgusting.
-
I've seen it but never tried it. I just assumed it was like a tomato based drink. I like spicy hot V8's for that.
Maybe I'll try this.

the Clamato or the red beer?
-
Just have a vodka shot and wring out a used tampon into your mouth. Same effect.
-
Know of it but never tried it (more traditional bloodies). What puts the clam in Clamato? Is it just the water clams have soaked in, an extract?

I think it's clams mixed with tomatos.
whoops, nevermind.

Okay, here is what you do.
You salt the rim of a tall glass with celery salt. (yes I said celery salt).
You put a couple of ice cubes in the glass along with an ounce and a half or two ounces of good vodka.
You fill the glass to about half an inch below the rim with the Clamato.
A couple of small squirts of worcestershire sauce, a drop or two (no more) of tabasco sauce, a small pinch of celery salt and a bit of black pepper.
Stick a celery stalk in it and stir.
Eat the celery.
Drink.
It's called a Bloody Caeser (SP?) and is quite popular in Canada.
Kinda like a Bloody Mary, but with Clam juice.
Cheers,

Never heard of it, but it doesn't sound very good.
What proportions do you mix the beer and juice? What kinds of beers are we talking about?

Ew. EW!

That sounds really good. I'm going to try this for sure. I might add a bit more tobasco though, cause I love that stuff.
Thanks for the recipe.

Clamato is a Canadian drink. You make bloody Cesars out of it. Been around here since the late 70's.

I usually mix it in a Glass 1/3 Clamato 2/3 beer. I've never tried this with anything other than domestics. Don't go ruin good beer on my account (coors/light, miller, bud ect.)
The canadian origins actually make sense now. Yuma gets a lot of "snowbirds" from canada.
They also make a "picante" SP version of the stuff. It's a little more spicy.
RTR my wife makes them that way! She also adds some salt as well (she's a salt feind though so mix to taste.)

I used to work in a bar. Here is the classic drink for that stuff.
The proper glass for this drink is tall with a flaired rim.
Take one small lime. Cut in thirds leaving a piece of about 1/4 inch in the middle. Cut the 1/4 inch circle of lime in half. Slit one half and run it around the rim of the glass. Dip the wet rim into a dish of celery salt and pepper (little pepper mostly celery salt.)
Twist the piece of lime you used to rim the glass into the glass and toss it in the bottom.
Pour a shot of very cold vodka into the glass and then squeeze one of the lime halfs into it as well. Add a pinch of the celery salt mixture one dash of tabasco and 2 dashs of worsteshire. Mix it up. Add some ice and then fill with Clamato.
Stick a piece of celery in the glass and stir. Take the other small piece of lime and stick it on the rim.
For variety you can add a bit of horse radish juice.
Enjoy.
This is a summer drink.
-
Just saw someone else posted the directions for the drink.
Anyway he forgot the fresh lime. A bar cesar always has lime in it. Tastes better. Most people who make them at home leave the lime out as limes are expensive and hard to find in the average fridge.
Sorry for the repeat.
BTW in the bar I worked at in the summer 75% of the mixed drinks were cesars, the rest were mix of screwdrivers and rye and coke.
In the winter 75% of the drinks were rye and coke, hardly any cesars sold at all.

Clamato is actually pretty good stuff. While I'm more of a Hot and Spicy V-8 guy, it's a nice change of pace.
-
How do they get the pubic hairs out of the clamato?
-
clamato is the vile refuse from the V8 processing plant, infused with some slimy snail-type thing, completely usless to the advancement of the human race.
if clamato were to dissapear tommorow, the world would not only be better, but it would not notice the change

yup roughly 70/30
PS Cheers!:aok

i make my "red beer" 50/50 , good for breakfast.
