Caesar | Local Cocktail From Calgary, Canada | TasteAtlas

Caesar

Caesar is a Canadian cocktail made with a combination of vodka, clam-infused tomato juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. The cocktail is typically served with ice in a large glass with a celery salt rim, garnished with a lime wedge and a celery stalk.


It is believed that Caesar was invented in 1969 in Calgary by a restaurateur named Walter Chell, who made it to celebrate the opening of a new Italian restaurant. The drink got its name after Chell’s Italian ancestry. Although the cocktail hasn’t gotten much love beyond the Canadian borders, it is considered a great hangover cure and nowadays it is a staple at Canada Day celebrations and informal gatherings.
