Rough night last night?
Want to lie to your doctor about how many servings of seafood you have weekly?
Having a bad first date and want to ensure there’s not a second?
Well, have a Red Eye!
Get yourself a frosty glass, a 12 ounce lager, and Clamato! I like a 50/50 blend myself, but proportion to taste. But don’t do any less than 25% Clamato.
Beer should be ice cold and a light tasting lager. A classic bud, miller, rolling rock will do. Corona.
A dash of pepper to fancy it up.
If you try it, report back! I think you’ll be shocked and pleased how nice this “cocktail” is.
Not my recipe, but that was the closest flair. Would be good to know the origin. I got this from my Dad who is French Canadian. He grew up in NH but also served in the Air Force (San Antonio, Turkey). No idea where he got this from. I’ll have to ask. He’s 85 and still going strong. Maybe it’s the Red Eye!
Enjoy.

It’s a version of a Michelada. I like mine with lime juice, dash of Worcestershire sauce, dash of salsa maggi, bit of salt. Good stuff.
I’d rather have a Caesar, but these are alright.
Need with a side of clam is very good. It’s a Canadian thing, more western Canada.
Clamato makes a significantly better cocktail than tomato juice as well.
Clamato and Tapatio mixed together and drank used to be the hangover cure of choice for a lot of my forklift driver dock worker coworkers
I was going to say probably San Antonio because of the similarity to a Michelada.
Pretty sure a Red Eye has a raw egg cracked into it, according to the movie ‘Cocktail’
Micheladas are awesome. 75/25 lager/clamato. Lots of salt, juice if half a lime, shake of wash your sister (or soy), rim it with Tajin. The best.
