Cocktailfilter. I like the salty ones, which means either Bloody Mary, preferably substituting the vodka with sherry; or the magnificent Bullshot. What else is there?

The Salty Dog, perhaps?

Have you ever had a Bloody Caesar? Similar to Mary, but ... meatier? I prefer to serve it warm, even.

Some more variations on the Bloody Mary/Bullshot: a Bloody Maria (made with tequila instead of vodka), a Danish Mary (made with Aquavit), and the Bloody Bull (half beef broth, half Bloody Mary mix). Also, if I recall correctly from my bartending days, I believe the Bloody Mary was originally made with gin instead of vodka.

Hell, how about salted beer? I know of people who swear by it, and while it doesn't really fit the description of a cocktail, hey, it's salted, and it's alcoholic.

If you like the whole tomato/spicy aspect, how about a prairie fire? You could probably add salt. Although, this would be a shot more than a cocktail. Adaptable somehow, I'm sure, after much experimentation :).

And PurplePorpoise, clamato is indeed great. I have it near everyday, in fact. Homer was definitely on to something with the clam juice...

How about a Dirty Martini? Basically it's a martinit with olive juice shaken into it. VERY salty. And VERY good.

When I can buy imported tomato juice (the Korean version is sickeningly sweet with added sugar) I often drink my beer with salt, pepper and tomato juice.

Koreans think I'm insane, but I also love to grab a slice of kimchi, swirl it in some beer, eat the kimchi, drink the beer. Mmmm, doggies!

Also.

Hmmm... I sometimes drink the same beer - tomato stuff Stavros drinks... it is quite good when you have a hangover.
