Clamato

Briny red juice

Clamato is a commercial beverage blending tomato juice with clam broth, seasoned with spices.

It's most commonly used as a mixer in cocktails, particularly the Caesar—a Canadian drink similar to the Bloody Mary: I'll have a Caesar with extra Clamato.

The combination strikes some as appealing and others as revolting.
