Instructions

Place the takis chips in a ziptop bag, seal and then use a rolling pin to crush them into fine crumbs*. Combine with the salt. Transfer to a small plate and spread it out.
½ cup Fuego Takis chips, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
On a separate small plate, add the agave nectar. Dip the rim of a tall glass (Collins glass) into the agave nectar and then roll it in the ground takis mix to coat it.
2 tablespoons agave nectar
Add the vodka, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, pickle juice, fresh salt and pepper into the glass.
2 tablespoons vodka, 3 to 4 dashes hot sauce, 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon pickle juice
Add some ice (about ¾ up the glass), then pour in the Clamato juice. Stir everything together with a long spoon.
¾ cup Clamato Juice Original
Take a cocktail skewer and alternate adding the pitted olives and takis chips. Then, add a lime slice to the end of the skewer. This will create a garnish that will sit on top of the cocktail glass.

Notes

*Alternative method for crushing the Takis chips: You can use a food processor or blender to crush the chips, but don’t over blend them into a powder or the texture won’t be as pleasant when you’re sipping on the drink. Use the pulse button.
Popular optional add ins: horseradish, cilantro leaves, pickled beans, etc.
Virgin Option: Simply leave out the vodka for a mocktail version.
