Canadian Caesar

In Canada a Caesar is not a salad but a wonderfully refreshing alcohol drink. Many lazy afternoons at anchor were made even more enjoyable with this great zesty and refreshing drink. It's made with Clamato juice and that is a requirement. No Clamato, no caesar. Canadian Clamato is a bit different that what you'll find in the US. It has anchovy extract in addition to clam juice which gives it a bit more of a "kick." However, US Clamato is fine too. The caesar is a favorite on the MV Independence.

Ingredients:

• 1-2 oz. of vodka
• 6-8 oz. of Clamato juice
• 1/2 tsp of A-1 sauce
• 1/4 tsp of lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp of Tabasco sauce (or to taste)
• Dash of cajun seasoning (to taste)
• Pickled asparagus or green beans as a garnish

Instructions:

Lots of ice Pour Clamato juice, A-1 sauce, lemon juice, Tabasco sauce into a tall glass. Mix well with a long spoon. Then add vodka and stir again. Add cajun seasoning to taste. Fill a glass with ice, add pickled garnish and pour caesar over ice. Enjoy. A caesar goes great with fresh steamed shrimp or cracked crab.
