Clamato Vampirito

Submitted by rpgaymer

"This is a fun, different cocktail that you probably won't find at a bar, as most places do not have Clamato juice and/or Squirt soda. I was surprised that there wasn't a recipe on the site yet, so here it is. (I edited the recipe to include muddling the first few ingredients- makes a big difference! Thanks boomette)"

 

• Ready In: 2mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 1 cocktail
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 3 lime slices
• 5 basil leaves, sliced
• 1 -2 dash hot sauce (Cholula tastes great in this!)
• 4 ounces Clamato juice (or Camaronazo)
• 1 1⁄2 ounces tequila
• 2 ounces carbonated lemon-lime beverage (Squirt or a generic, NOT 7-Up or Sprite)
• ice (as needed)

directions

1. Put the lime slices, basil, & hot sauce in a shaker. With a muddler or long pestle, grind the ingredients in the bottom of the shaker for about 30 seconds.
2. Add the clamato juice, tequila & ice. Shake well.
3. Strain drink into glass with ice and top off with Squirt soda. Mix it a bit and serve.

This is a good drink but I couldn't taste the lime and basil. So maybe it would be better to muddle them at first and then shake it all together. I used chipotle tabasco. Thanks rpgaymer :) Made for PRMR tag game

I switched it up a bit...instead of soda I used San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral water and doubled up on the lime. It turned out pretty tasty. I guess it is okay for those who want a "lighter version". 0:

My DH has switched to drinking Bloody Mary's using clamato juice after we visited some friends this past spring and that's what they used to make the drinks. I ask DH if he wanted to try a drink using the clamato juice and tequila and he was all for it. The drink was made as written, except I missed the basil leaves, but DH said he wouldn't have wanted them anyways. He enjoyed this drink and also now likes Squirt Soda lol!!
