It’s iconically Canadian. It’s acceptable to drink morning, day or night. It’s a cocktail, it’s a meal or both… It’s the Caesar! Thanks to my dad and his badass Caesar making skills, the Caesar was my first ever cocktail, or should I say mocktail, since I was 12 years old when I tried my first virgin Caesar. Ever since that day, the Caesar has held a special place in my Canadian...
