Aggie’s Classy Caesar

Share this with a friend!

Is there anything more Canadian than the Caesar? Perhaps poutine and maybe maple syrup, but Caesars are certainly iconic! The classic Canadian Caesar includes Clamato juice, vodka, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco as its fundamental ingredients. However, it can be customized to your heart's content!

My version of this delicious cocktail features lime, a few added spices, Aggie's dilly pickle juice, along with Aggie's beans, asparagus and pickles for garnishing. It's perfectly balanced in acidity, spiciness, and tartness, staying true to the original recipe while adding a unique twist, making it a standout Caesar.

The Caesar was invented by Walter Chell, a bartender in 1969 at the Calgary Inn (now the Westin Calgary). Walter was asked to create a signature drink to compliment the restaurant's Italian menu. The drink's unique flavours, combining savory, spicy, and salty notes, resonated with Canadians, and now it has become a staple in bars and restaurants across the country, with over 350 million caesars being consumed annually, wow! Today, the Caesar is often considered Canada's national cocktail.

Why not give my Aggie's Classy Caesar a try and see for yourself? This Caesar recipe is the best Caesar cocktail around. In my opinion of course....lol
