Caesar Cocktail

The Caesar dates back to 1969 when mixologist Walter Chell developed it at a Calgary restaurant. The Caesar is the national cocktail of Canada. The Canadian Bloody Mary, made with vodka, clamato juice, Tabasco, and Worcestershire sauce, is the perfect brunch partner. Restaurants and bars have recently upped their garnish game to include items such as an entire roast chicken, burgers, hot dogs, sliders, onion rings, and more, in addition to the typical celery salt rim and celery stalk (aka the Checkmate Caesar at the Score on Davie in Vancouver).

Okay, listen to us out. Although the mix of vodka, tomato juice, clam juice, Worcestershire sauce, and spicy sauce sounds like the absolute LAST thing you'd want to drink, it works. It's now Canada's national cocktail. It's not for everyone, but the lavish garnishes will compel you to order one at least once in your life. Over 350 million Caesar-inspired beverages are sold each year, making it the nation's favorite and a must-try while on your trip.
