Caesar (or Bloody Caesar)

vodka, Clamato juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco sauce

Clam juice made its way into various Bloody Mary variations in the 1950s, if not earlier, and Mott’s bottled Calamato juice was introduced in the late 1960s, offering a shortcut. The Bloody Caesar—popularized by Walter Silin Chell at the Owl’s Next in Calgary—caught on such an extent it is considered the most popular drink in Canada.
