Canada’s Favorite Hangover Cure
In the heart of Calgary, Alberta, a legendary drink was born in 1969 at the Owl’s Nest Bar. Meet the Caesar, a spicy twist on the classic Bloody Mary that’s been a staple in Canadian bars ever since.
The Secret Ingredient: Clamato Juice
So, what sets the Caesar apart? It’s all about the Clamato juice, a unique blend of tomato juice and clam broth that adds a savory depth to the drink. You can find Clamato in the juice aisle of your local grocery store. When shopping, look for a spicy tomato drink with a hint of clam juice for an authentic flavor.
Garnish Like a Pro
The beauty of the Caesar lies in its customizable garnishes. From celery stalks to prawns, the possibilities are endless. For a crunchy twist, try pairing your Caesar with pickled green beans, like The Mean Beans by Rick’s Picks. The tangy bite complements the spicy kick of the Clamato juice perfectly.
