This is a traditional Canadian drink with it's origins from Alberta where a chef wanted to accompany Linguini Vongole with it's own drink and kept with the Italian theme and called it a Caesar.
Ingredients:
Celery salt for the rim.
1.5 - 2.0 oz vodka
4oz clam-tomato juice
2-3 dashes of any hot sauce, tobasco is traditional
4-5 dashes of worchestershire sauce.
0.5 oz fresh lime or lemon juice
1 tsp of prepared or fresh horseradish
2 twists of fresh black pepper
3 finger pinch of Maldon sea salt or similar
stalk of celery, traditional, but can use olives, or hang a shrimp.
Method:
A taller glass is traditional. Run fresh lime or lemon around rim to get wet and dip in a plate of celery salt. Half fill with ice
then add the remaining ingredients. Stir and garnish. Cheers!
Clamato juice is used and commercially Motts make one that is the most popular but I'm not sure how available that is around the world. I make my own by using a commercial tomato juice and clam juice. I use a 3:1 ratio of tomato to clam juice but can easily be fine tuned to your own tastes. Lately a brand called Walters has become available which I've used and is much better than Motts but still doesn't hold a candle to making it yourself.
Also garnishes can be anything you desire. Pickled green beans of other veg is popular, snow crab, shrimp can be fun and festive, it's up to you.
