It's my standard beverage of choice on flights. A virgin bloody mary is my backup.
One of my favorite cocktails is a Caesar which has clamato as the base, a shot of vodka, a dash of worcestershire sauce, a dash of tabasco sauce, and a typically a stick of celery (or a pickled bean) as a garnish in a salt rimmed glass. Love it! Particularly with a some horseradish.
For some reason I never drink tomato juice plain but we do use it frequently in two ways:
I make campechana on a regular basis, just in case campechana is a Mexican seafood cocktail I usually make with oysters, octopus, & shrimp along with cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, avocado. I usually simply use Clamato or V8 as the juice base.
Bloody Mary's - though not so much anymore, just seems we keep drinking less & less alcohol.
