Bloody Caesar

This briny, light take on a Bloody Mary is Canada's unofficial official drink — it's estimated that it's the country's most-consumed cocktail. Savory, spicy, and eminently sippable, it's perfect as a hair of the dog at a late-morning brunch. If you'd rather not use store-bought Clamato juice, make your own with two parts clam juice to one part tomato juice.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp. celery salt
  • 12 tsp. fresh-ground black pepper
  • 1 oz. vodka
  • 12 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

  • 12 lime, in two wedges

Instructions

Step 1

Combine celery salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Wet the edge of a pint glas, and rim in the celery salt-pepper mixture. Fill the rimmed pint glass with ice.
