Summer is here! and so are delicious cocktails. Don’t get me wrong, I have a sweet tooth but something about a salty drink on a hot summer day is just so much better. Now, us Canadians all love our Caesars, with their robust flavours and zest that perfectly complement any gathering or barbecue, but there are definitely ways to elevate it. With a few creative twists and high-quality ingredients, you can take a classic Caesar to new heights, adding unique garnishes and bold spices that excite the palate. Let’s get into this quick recipe for a great time, where I’ll share some fun variations and tips to make your summer cocktail experience unforgettable!

Lets put it together

This is gonna be quick and easy; I didn’t list exact amounts as I want everyone to put what feels right for them, allowing for a personalized touch that makes these recipes truly unique. For example, I love pickle brine and spicy foods, so I personally would put a lot more of those bold flavours into my dishes. This customization not only reflects individual taste preferences but also encourages creativity in the kitchen, making cooking more of an art than a science. However, for those who prefer a more structured approach or are just starting out, I will provide a standard version down below. This way, everyone can find a balance between their personal flair and the foundational elements of the recipe.

1. Grab about a plate and put lime juice or water directly onto it. Wet the rim of your chosen glass, then using another plate, our celery salt onto it. Rim your glass with the celery salt.
2. Fill cup with Ice halfway.
3. Pour 1 shot of vodka onto the ice directly.
4. pour 3 dashes of tabasco (more for more spice) and 3 dashes of Worcestershire.
5. Add 2 tbs of pickle juice (more if you like the brine flavour)
6. add pepper and a sprinkle of celery salt directly into drink.
7. Fill to the brim with choice of Clamato.
