- When selecting the beer, pick a beer with a light flavor that won't overpower the other ingredients.
- When selecting the Clamato juice, make sure to pick one with a good balance of tomato and clam flavors.
- Substitute the Clamato juice with tomato juice and add a few drops of fish sauce – this substitution will still provide the savory flavor of Clamato juice while being a more cost effective alternative.
- Substitute the beer with sparkling water – this substitution will still provide the fizziness of beer while being a healthier option.
