Everything about Caesar Cocktail totally explained
A
Caesar, sometimes referred to as a
Bloody Caesar, after the similar
Bloody Mary, is a
cocktail popular mainly in
Canada. It typically contains
vodka,
clamato (a blend of
tomato juice and
clam broth),
Worcestershire sauce,
Tabasco sauce, and is served
on the rocks in a large,
celery salt-
rimmed glass, and typically garnished with a stalk of celery and wedge of
lime. A common nickname for a version without vodka is "Virgin Caesar". In the U.S. it's known as a clamdigger.
During the early 2000s,
Mott's printed the Caesar recipe on bottles of the Clamato juice sold in the United States, but the cocktail drink remains relatively unknown there.
History
The cocktail was invented by bartender
Walter Chell at the Owl's Nest Bar in the Calgary Inn (now Calgary Westin Hotel) in
Calgary,
Alberta in 1969, to accompany the opening of a new restaurant, Marco's. In its original form, it contained tomato juice and mashed clams; Clamato had only just been released (with the assistance of Chell) by the
Mott's company that very year, and wasn't yet widely known or available.
Starting in 2002,
Mott's began marketing pre-mixed Caesars in twelve-ounce bottles.
Variations can include substituted or added ingredients, like
salt and
pepper,
cayenne pepper,
horseradish, or
lemon juice, seasoning salt or lemon pepper (rather than celery salt), a garnish of dill pickled cucumber, spicy pickled
green bean or
asparagus. Occasionally a
prawn (especially in seafood restaurants) or crisp bacon is used as a garnish.
Many people believe that a Caesar is an excellent cure for a hangover.
