Notes

1. For an elevated experience, use freshly squeezed lime juice for both rimming and adding a small squeeze into the drink; it significantly brightens the flavor profile.2. Don't underestimate the quality of your Clamato; a premium brand can make a noticeable difference.3. When salting the rim, ensure the lime moisture is even to prevent patchy coating. A light hand with hot sauce is recommended initially, as it's easier to add more than to correct an over-spiced drink.4. To prevent over-dilution, use large, dense ice cubes. Stir gently with a bar spoon rather than shaking to maintain the drink's texture and integrity.5. Explore additional garnishes like a pickled green bean, olive, or even a candied bacon strip for a gourmet touch.
