Caesar cocktail · Toronto

The Caesar is Canada's tomato-and-clam-juice cocktail, vodka with Clamato, hot sauce, Worcestershire and celery salt rim. It is Canada's national cocktail and ordered hourly at Toronto bars.

The Caesar was invented in 1969 by Walter Chell at the Calgary Inn, who blended fresh-mashed clams, tomato and spices to create a Canadian version of the Bloody Mary. Mott's launched the Clamato clam-tomato juice base shortly after, locking the recipe into industrial production. By the 1980s the Caesar had become Canada's national cocktail; Toronto bars including Allen's on the Danforth pour it as a brunch and aperitif standard alongside variations with smoked-salt rims and pickled-bean garnishes.
