StoneMtn Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Hey Steve: For what it's worth, I'm practically a non-drinker of alcohol; mainly because I just find it too gross to drink enough of it to have any effect, so I just gave up on it.That said, the only drink I truly enjoy is a Caesar. (I also love shellfish, though.) The last time I drank (nearly a year ago) I managed to down six double Caesars on an empty stomach; and to say the least it certainly did have an "effect". I could never have drank that much of any other drink I know of; just because I can't stomach it. One more bit of Canadiana: "Caesar" is also a fantastic song by Bob Loblaw (although I think they actually call it "Siezer".) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve from Cleveland Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 (edited) Hmmm... Well, that being said, I have pretty much given up on the booze myself... And although I would never drink a 'virgin' almost anything, I will make that exception with a bloody mary. Essentially it's just a glorified tomato juice, but DAMN! it's good! Even without the Vodka Fuck, I'll never forget at the Mudcock's wedding, I asked the bartender to whip me up a bloody mary, and what I got, essentially, was a caeser. I think I went back there and was like, what the fuck did you put in here, it tastes fucking rotten!?! That's when I found out about clamato... Seriously, I'd NEVER heard of that shit before then... I don't know, maybe the whole bad experience, or dislike of it comes from it being NOT AT ALL what I was expecting when I took a long slow drink of it?!?Steve Edited September 2, 2005 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve from Cleveland Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Indeed, sometimes the ONLY breakfast one can stomach (although, I would need to exclude the clam juice ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 for some reason i remember the caeser being a VERY popular drink at Deercreek Phish 2000.I think it was 'almost' as popular as the jager shots....but not quite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 MarcO, your last ingredient and ratio list looks like exactly how I'd do it. Clam juice is readily available in Chinese groceries and Loblaws. I guess Franks would be okay in it. My favorite in Ceasars though is call Hot and Horny. (Of course my firewall at work prevents me from finding a picture of it) Let us know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CookieMonster Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Story behind the Ceasar is that The Palliser Hotel a few decades ago had a surplus of tomato juice and clam juice for their seafood dishes. They held a contest for their bartenders to come up with a drink to use up this surplus and Voila, birth of the Ceasar! Gotta say, when you're out drinkin' and hungry but still want to keep on gettin' soused, a Ceasar is the way to go!!! MMM MMM Spicey Clammy-tomato Goodness!!!I thought it was "Ceasar's Steak House" here in Calgary that invented such a wonderful little concoction. Huh. Now I too anxiously await Bradm's verification... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 From Alberta Inventors :The CaesarThe caesar, for many Albertans, is a truly Canadian cocktail. Also known as the bloody caesar, the beverage is similar to the bloody mary in that both use tomato juice, vodka and worcestershire sauce. While not a technological innovation, the caesar represents Alberta’s foothold in great achievements in the history of the food and drink—it was invented by Walter Chell, a bartender in Calgary in the late 1960s.Clams, for the uninitiated, are a necessary component to the caesar as a flavouring for the tomato juice. Why did Chell think of clams? Chell wanted to make a drink that could compete with the tomatoes, spices and seafood, featured ingredients from his restaurant's Italian menu. Spaghetti Vongele, spaghetti with clams, in particular, seemed to have many of the desired qualities. After months of trial and error, Chell crushed clams into a "nectar" that he then mixed with tomato juice. He added spice, and worcestershire sauce for sweetness. Keeping with the Italian theme, Chell also seasoned with the drink with oregano. The resulting drink , it was deemed, was fit for the Roman emperor, hence the name.Today, a thirsty Canadian can walk to the nearest corner store and expect to find a tomato-clam juice blend sitting on the shelf. However, in the late 1960s, tomato-clam did not exist, and Walter Chell, in his quest for a new drink had to get his "clam nectar" from the source. Around the same time, Motts® , a juice company in California, began producing a clam-tomato beverage, or Clamato juice. The company hired Chell to advise on the beverage's production and the juice became the choice of for tomato-clam mixers.While Chell was the inventor of the caesar, Motts deserves credit for the popularization of the drink itself. This is an example the symbiosis between an independent inventor and corporate marketing prowess. Motts made the caesar a favourite cocktail and Chell's creation had a profound effect on the company’s profits in Canada. According to a telephone survey conducted by Ispos-Reid in early 2003, more than 310 million caesars were served in Canada in the previous year. This makes it the single most popular cocktail in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted September 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Caesar update!Thanks for all the tips, it worked out prety good. Turned out you actually do have to use more clam juice that I would have thought, and tons of salt. But the salt deal is probably just to approximate the lack of MSG.Julie from Shady Grove said it was the best Caesar she ever had! Yay!"MarcO's Caesar's: Wholesome, Nutritous and Full Of Vitamin Booze!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 MarcO your recipe looks good but it needs some of my infused chili-lime vodka, no horseradish, pickled banana pepper juice instead of pickle juice, one hearty dash of clamato rimmer into the glass you're serving, and a pickled white asparagus spear like they do at the Banff Springs.Pretty much the best drink in the world that way.

gentlemonkey Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 IIRC' date=' she learned that trick from jaybone, and it's really part of the Bloody Caesar recipe, not the clamato [i']per se.IIRIIRCIRC, I believe it was Gentlemonkey Jay. Those are definitley the teachings of jah-bone. Man, I love ceasars! I have been moving away from the pickle juice/horse radish/extra worcestire direction in favour of more vodka/tabasco/lemon juice and more ice. its a usually a good drink anyway you make it.

SaggyBalls Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 I'm with the american on this one. love the bloody mary but it's a no go for a caesar. I love seafood and it's not an issue of 'grodey'...it's a watered down tomato juice texture issue.gotta try the pickle juice...or use a pickle spear...if you can't find any of that hot and horny sauce, hit up the RCSS or some affiliate that sells grace sauces (jamaican food subsidiary of loblaws) and get the 'hot pepper sauce'...you might think it's like lousiana hot but it's not. it's great. i think caesars are the reason i tried bourbon for the first time. i drink it on the rocks.
