We like those here, too. I get a bottle of Bloody Mary mix and add a bottle of clam juice.
I need to try that one, I seen the recipe for it but didn't know what to think. Sounds Good.

This one is a Clamato recipe :

Ice, in a burbon glass, 1/3 Clamato, 1/3 Spicy V8 (My Addition), 1/3 Wodka (My Choice I like it over Vodka, My apologies to those who feel I have slaughtered the drink now).

4 dashes Worcestershire sauce

2 dashes Hot Sauce

3 pinches Kosher Salt & Chilli Powder

1 Celery Stick

Wedge of Lime for Garnish

I had 3 of these last night couldn't eat dinner, I did 5 shots after that.

Merry Christmas to the AAC members, BTW I think the colors of this drink add to the Christmas Holiday "Spirit" it will match your ugly sweater and Santa hat :p

Cheers,

kv :)

I have a similar recipe I like as well, but lately I've just been buying V8 Bloody Mary Mix (which is quite good, in my opinion) and pouring in a bottle of Bar Harbor clam juice. (I love the Bar Harbor brand of products. If you like kippers or sardines, give it a try. You can order them through Walmart.) Like you, I like plenty of vodka in my mix. I'm not here to drink tomato juice! Then just garnish with lemon or lime and you're done in no time.

I'm glad you told me what brand and where to buy it. I have the wrong stuff, Chinese Oyster Sauce for cooking.

I'm surprised none of you have recommended adding a couple of drops of Tabasco... it's a real enhancer for any tomatoe-based cocktail

Usually Tabasco is added.
Some hotelier in Calgary Alta came up with it.
Preparation:
Seasoned Salt. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients except for the lime wedge. Moisten the rim of a tall glass with the lime wedge. Dip the rim in the salt mixture. Set aside.
In a measuring cup, stir together the tomato and clam juice, vodka, lime juice, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce.

So here's one of my fave holiday drinks but plz pay attention cuz ingredient brand and variety is totally important!

So plz don't be discouraged cuz of cheap ingredients! Cuz more expensive liquor or molasses can make drink taste like sealcoat tar:eek:! So it's most critical that rum is NOT spiced! But drink is perfect if u just use exact Rum and molasses in recipe!

So for abt 2 cups recipe is 3 jiggers (which is 4.5 fl Oz) of Bacardi Carta Blanca rum + 8 fl Oz of Brer Rabbit black strap molasses + 2 Jiggers (3 fl Oz) of club soda. I say it's best served warm but since some ppl like it cold there's no consensus on that:cool:

So merry Christmas (or whatever holiday u celebrate) 2 everyone:)!

Talking of rum, one old favorite this time of year (or any time) is Rum and Black.
Captain Morgans Black Spiced Rum, (made with black-strap molasses),
Blackurrent Juice (cordial).
50% each.

Spiced rum + molasses:eek:?
