I don’t know about you but I am ready for summer. Those hot summer evenings are perfect for sitting outside sipping a caesar cocktail. If you are asking yourself, what the heck is this caesar? Let me describe it as a Canadian Bloody Mary but better. Much better, instead of just plain tomato juice, we use clamato juice. It tastes so much better, at least in my opinion. So if you’re looking for some tasty cocktails this summer, here’s my list. …

WhiskyLive Toronto 2016: A Review
Back in 2014, I was looking for some Christmas gift ideas for Chris and I came across an event called Whisky Live. I personally had never heard of it before, but I also wasn’t much of a scotch drinker before Chris came along and opened my eyes to such smokey goodness. So I bought tickets and gave Chris an early Christmas gift. Needless to say, he loved it and so did I. So this year I decided to do the same thing, only this time I upgraded to a VIP ticket.

Caesar Series: Smokey Scotch Caesar
Happy Sunday! I hope you guys are enjoying the wonderful and very warm weather this weekend. I know I am loving and am grateful for the fact that we have an air conditioner! Since summer is starting to feel so close, I felt like now would be a great time to share a new series I have been working on, the Caesar Series! In case you don’t know, a Caesar is the Canadian version of a Bloody Mary. Instead of tomato juice, we use Clamato juice *amazing.* It really is a Canadian classic.
Since I’m pregnant, I don’t drink any Caesar that contains alcohol, but Chris still can and I love making them for him. So the last time he asked me to make him a caesar, I pulled a scotch from his scotch cabinet and let the inspiration flow. Thus creating my Smokey Scotch Caesar!
What you’ll need:
- A Tall Glass
- 5 squirts of Lime juice
- 8 squirts of Lemon juice
- 3 squirts of Liquid Smoke
- 10 squirts of Worcestershire sauce
- Caesar Rimmer
- 3 squirts of Tabasco
- 1 shot or more of Laphoraig Scotch
- enough Clamato Juice to fill the rest of the glass
- celery stalk for garnish
How To:
- Pour some rimmer into a small bowl *make sure you glass rim fits in the bowl first* and then pour lemon juice around the rim of your glass. This will allow the caesar rimmer to stick to the rim of your glass
- Now mix the rest of the ingredients together in your glass, adding the Clamato juice last.
- Add a pinch of caesar rimmer to the actual caesar.
- Add the celery stalk and mix.
- ENJOY!
There you have it. A fabulous Canadian classic with a twist. Just to note, you can use any scotch you have in your cabinet, but I recommend using Laphroaig for this caesar as it has a more peaty taste that mixes very well with the liquid smoke. Chris has taught me so much about scotch, it’s kinda scary….
When I served this to Chris, he absolutely loved it. He said it was the perfect balance of a smokey and sweet flavour, with a subtle whiskey taste. Then it was gone in the blink of an eye….
