About

The Bloody Caesar, Canada's beloved cocktail, was created in 1969 by bartender Walter Chell at the Calgary Inn. Inspired by Italian flavors, the drink combines vodka, Clamato juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco, garnished with celery salt and fresh vegetables. While similar to the Bloody Mary, the use of Clamato juice—a blend of clam and tomato—adds a uniquely briny and umami-rich depth. This savory and spicy drink is a staple of Canadian brunch culture and remains one of the most requested cocktails in the country.
