It typically contains vodka, Clamato, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, and is served with ice in a large, celery salt-rimmed glass, typically garnished with a stalk of celery and wedge of lime. What distinguishes it from a Bloody Mary is the inclusion of clam broth.

> [@SisterCoyote](#): > > Tsk, barbarian. Mimosas are for the morning. I thought about it but I felt that a mimosa was too bright and sunshiney a drink for a cutthroat game like this. Bloody Marys have a little more verve to them (and they’re totally a morning drink!) ---

I’ve been thinking of signing up, but I’m not sure how much time I’ll have for this game given everything else I’ve got on. I’ll play if you can’t find anyone else for the last spot. ---
