I remember they had no idea what it was in Vegas. Had to get a Bloody Mary. Same in the UK.

Clamato is not that popular at all in the U.S. The U.S. marketing side failed miserably 10 years ago by listening to stupid focus groups that said that people didn't like the idea of a seafood drink...so they advertised it as 99% Clam Free - that had the dual effect of telling people it was just tomato juice so why bother and also reminding the people who hated clams that there were clams in it. Brutally el stupido.

Caesars are my favorite drink. I always make one and pour them into spagetti sauce and chilli recipes.

Where do you buy those plastic rimming cups? I only typically use lemon/lime juice on the rim and then pour Clamato rimmer (geez, still using the same bottle I bought about 15 years ago, seriously) on a plate to rim my glasses.
