For a spicier kick, add more jalapeno or a dash of your favorite hot sauce. If you don't have clam juice, you can substitute with shrimp broth or vegetable broth. Make sure to chill the cocktail thoroughly for the best flavor and texture. Feel free to adjust the amount of vegetables to your liking. Serve with tortilla chips or saltine crackers for a complete appetizer.
