Cocktail

4 oz Mott's Clamato (tomato-clam cocktail)

1 1/2 oz Vodka

1 tsp Prepared horseradish

1/2 oz Fresh lime juice

2 dashes Original Worcestershire Sauce

2 dashes Hot sauce (eg. Tabasco)

1/4 tsp Celery salt (for rimming and to taste)

1/8 tsp Coarse ground black pepper (to taste)

1 cup Ice (cubed)

1 each Lime wedge (garnish)

1 each Celery stalk or pickle spear (optional garnish)

Rim

1/2 tsp Coarse salt

1/2 tsp Celery salt

1/4 tsp Smoked paprika (optional, for signature spice)

1 each Lime wedge (for wetting rim)

Method

Rim

Prepare the rim mix

On a small plate, combine coarse salt, celery salt, and smoked paprika. Mix evenly.

Run the lime wedge around the outer rim of a highball or pint glass to moisten it.

Dip the moistened rim into the rim mix, twisting to coat evenly. Set glass aside.

Cocktail

Fill the rimmed glass with ice cubes until about 3/4 full.

In a cocktail shaker (or stirring glass) add vodka, prepared horseradish, fresh lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, celery salt and a pinch of black pepper.

Add the Mott's Clamato to the shaker. If using a shaker, do not fully seal — the Clamato is thick. Instead, stir vigorously for 10–15 seconds to combine ingredients and chill. If using a mixing glass, stir with a bar spoon for 15–20 seconds.

Taste and adjust: add another dash of hot sauce or 1/4 tsp horseradish if you prefer more heat, or a touch more lime if brighter acidity is desired.

Pour the mixed Caesar into the prepared glass over the ice, using a strainer if you mixed in a shaker with loose lid or pour directly from the mixing glass.

Garnish with a lime wedge and a celery stalk or pickle spear. Optionally sprinkle a light pinch of celery salt and cracked black pepper over the top as a final touch.
