Notes
Second time I made I used a homemade Clamato recipe. I also added 1 tsp extra Valentine hot sauce and 1 tsp Tabasco. Added double the lime juice and 2-3 tsp Worcestershire. Added 1/2 cup low sugar ketchup. Added the entire Clamato homemade mixture but could add less. Added more jalapeño. Ideally would have had serrano .
