For the best flavor, use high-quality, ripe tomatoes and avocados. Adjust the amount of jalapeño and hot sauce to your preference. If you don't have Clamato®, you can substitute with tomato juice and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Make sure all the ingredients are well-chilled before assembling the cocktail. This recipe is best enjoyed fresh, so it's recommended to consume it within a day of making it.
