Clamato juice spritzer
A Clamato juice spritzer is a refreshing, savory beverage made by mixing Clamato juice—a blend of tomato juice and clam broth—with sparkling water or club soda. It is often garnished with a celery stalk, lime wedge, and sometimes a salted rim, serving as a lighter, non-alcoholic alternative to cocktails like the Bloody Caesar. This drink is particularly popular in Canada and parts of the United States.

💡 What's interesting
Clamato juice itself is a unique North American invention, created in Mexico in the 1960s to mimic the taste of a Mexican clam and tomato soup. The spritzer version is a popular 'mocktail' that retains the complex umami flavor of the original without the alcohol.
