Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz. Clamato Juice: The quintessential base of the Caesar it’s a seasoned blend of tomato juice and clam broth.
  • 2 oz Vodka: The alcohol of choice for a traditional Caesar.
  • Hot Sauce to taste Tabasco is used for that kick of heat.
  • 8 dashes Worcestershire Sauce: For depth of flavor and umami.
  • Freshly Ground Pepper to taste for a bit of spice.
  • 1 Pinch of Celery Salt: For the rim of the glass and also to sprinkle on top.
  • 3/4 oz Lime: For the fresh lime juice and a lime wedge to garnish.
  • 1 Celery Stalk: Often used as a garnish and a stir stick.
  • Pickled Garnishes Optional: Such as beans, asparagus, or olives for added flair and flavor

Method
 

  1. Start by preparing your glass. Using some lime juice wet the rim of your glass. Place your celery salt on a plate in an even thin layer. Dip the rim into the celery salt and move it around in a circular motion until the rim is evenly covered.
  2. Stand your glass upright and fill it halfway with ice
  3. Next add your vodka. You can add anywhere between 1and 2ounces depending on how strong you would like it.
  4. Then it’s time to add some flavor. Go ahead and put about 8 dashes of Worcestershire sauce in and then add Tobasco to taste. I like 3 dashes in mine and I would consider that slightly spicy. If you don’t like spice 1-2 dashes will do or if your feeling brave and really need to wake yourself up you could put up to 5 dashes. If unsure wait till the end and do a taste test. you can easily make it spicier if you need.
  5. Add .5oz of lime juice just to give it a bit of acidity and to balance it out.
  6. Now you are ready to top it off with the Clamato juice. Leave a bit of space at the top so you can easily stir the drink and mix everything together.
  7. The final ingredient to add it some pickle juice. I would recommend .5oz but honestly just do it to taste.
  8. If you feel as though it is lacking something you can add some salt and pepper, or just go ahead and add a little dash of celery salt directly into the glass.
  9. Once everything is stirred and it is to taste go ahead and add some garnishes. I like to keep it simple with a lime wedge, a stick of celery and some form of pickle. You can use pickled cucumber, beans or asparagus.
