the perfect caesar



Are you a caesar drinker? I get that it's somewhat of an acquired taste, and in the past two years I've learned to love them. And I'm happy to say, I think I've come close to mastering the perfect caesar. Here's how to make one: The necessities - big glass, ice, fresh lime, a good vodka, garnishes, saltiness and a little heat. 

To start off, rim your glass with fresh lime and caesar rimming salt (celery salt) and fill it up with ice. Next add in your vodka- I like to measure the amount with a shot glass because I don't enjoy a caesar that overwhelmingly tastes like vodka but I do know not everyone feels the same, so pour as you wish on that step! Then it's time to add in the worcestershire, lime juice about a teaspoon each - then as much tabasco as you want. The next two ingredients are a little strange, but try them - it adds another level of flavor. Pickle juice, the perfect saltiness; and horseradish, a nice heat. Give everything a stir together and fill the glass up with your Clamato juice - I use spicy :) Finally, garnish that glass up! It's the best part about ordering caesars at restaurants, so why not add some in at home! I cut part of a pickle and a cocktail onion which were both filled with so much flavor by the time I got to the end of my drink! 

We always offer caesars to guests at parties and everyone seems to love them! Try making them this holiday season and enjoy :)
