How do you make the best caesar co*cktail? What are secrets so you can make the best caesar co*cktail at home?
Fact, I have turned 100/100 Americans from bloody mary’s to bloody caesars once they try it. This recipe is more for non-Canadians as every good Canadian should know how to make a caesar or I assume you get deported.
In the US they call them bloody caesars but in Canada it is just a ceasar. If you have been to Mexico this is also what they serve you down there, so clearly Americans are missing out!
For those who don’t know a caesar is a bloody mary that went to heaven to become an angel. A caesar doesn’t have the thick sauce texture of bloody mary mix and there is the perfect addition of a nice salty brine that your body craves after a night of drinking. Don’t let the Clamato scare you away as there is no fishy or sea taste to Clamato juice.
Side note: I hate when people add extra unnecessary things to my caesar… no I don’t want hard cold bacon nor do I want a slider. In fact I find it quite presumptuous you think I want a slider and keep me from ordering food myself yet adding $3 to the drink I want.
Don’t get me started on celery you cheap bar jerks, no one wants celery so stop being cheap and give us something spicy-pickled. Anyways, for those wanting the standard best recipe without the gimmicks this is the essential caesar recipe as if you got it from Earl’s or Joey’s.
Here are some extra major tips for making drinks and hosting people to make sure they love your creation
When making a drink for people and you want them to love the experience you need to appeal to 4 senses.
- You must make it taste good of course, it needs to have a pleasant aroma thus sometimes adding a garnish helps, it should look beautiful clearly and then they must feel a nice ambiance and setting when trying the drink. I can help you with the first 3 but the ambiance is on you… music, clean up, give them a shot so they are already getting drunk and everything is fun… up to you :).
- One AMAZING way to add to your drink ambiance and appeal to all senses is infuse your liquor. Infusing liquor is the greatest lie in drink creation as what sounds extremely impressive is really just you pouring liquor into a jar and adding 1-2 ingredients then letting it sit for 1-7 days… or even 1 hour and just lying to your guests. Infused liquor makes you look like some planned, smart super-hero that would do anything to host people. It will impress them and has you already 5 steps ahead on appealing to all of the senses.

Cook Time: 1 minute min
Total Time: 3 minutes mins
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Vodka
- 1-2 tbsp pickled juice whether this be from pickles, spicy beans etc.
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce I like mine extra muddy and do 4-5 shakes.
- 1 tbsp Tabasco sauce I like mine extra spicy and do 3-4 shakes.
- 1 tbsp Cholula or Tapatio Since this isn't spicy and more for flavor you can do 2-3 shakes.
- Clamato juice Don’t even think about the “clam” part as all it does is add some amazing salt taste and thins out the tomato juice, which is a necessity.
- Celery salt seasoning or Tajin for the rim I actually mix both together.
- Pickled spicy beans Or pepperoncini or pickled spicy vegetables or pickles.
- Ice filled cup
Optional
- Squeeze of lime juice.
- 1 tbsp A1 or steak sauce.
Instructions
Spicy salt rim. Most important start… I already have my celery salt & Tajin mix in a wide Tupperware container to stay ready, sort of like an alcoholic linebacker, always be prepared.
Put a little water on the glass from the tap letting the water flow around the top edges of the glass. Dip the wet (not dripping) edges of the glass into the salt and get a nice thick rim around the edge.
Add in the vodka and ice cubes.
Fill the glass with Clamato juice about 1-2 inches from the top and add pickled juice.
Shake in sauces to taste & lime juice then stir.
Add your ideal pickled garnish... not celery.
