Information About

Caesar Cocktail




It is not well known in the U.S., and many Canadians living abroad prize a Bartender who can mix a good Caesar.


HISTORY


The cocktail was invented by bartender Walter Chell at the Owl's Nest Bar in the Westin Hotel in Calgary , Alberta , Canada 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 (coincidentally) by the American Mott's company that very year, and was not yet widely known or available.

In the early 2000s, Mott's began marketing pre-mixed Caesars in twelve-ounce bottles.

Variations can include substitute or add ingredients, like Salt and Pepper , Cayenne Pepper , Horseradish , or Lemon juice, a garnish of spicy pickled green Bean or Asparagus .
