About the Caesar
A Canadian creation, the Caesar was invented in 1969 to celebrate the
opening of Marco’s Italian Restaurant at the Calgary Inn (now Westin
Calgary). Resident mixologist and food and beverage manager Walter Chell as commissioned to develop the new cocktail. Inspired by the flavours of spaghetti Vongole, Walter combined sweet (tomato juice), salty (clam nectar), sour (lime), spicy (Worcestershire sauce) and bitter (celery salt) in his new concoction. After naming his drink for the Roman Emperor, legend has it that Chell served one to an Englishman who exclaimed: “that’s a good bloody Caesar!”
The Duffy Mott Company introduced Mott’s Clamato to Canada in 1969,
and ever since, Mott’s Clamato has been the essential ingredient in any
Caesar – found on store shelves and in bars and restaurants across the
country. The Caesar is a signature drink at many fine Canadian
establishments, helping make it the most popular cocktail in Canada. More than 350 million Caesars are made with Mott’s Clamato every year. A petition to officially name the Caesar Canada’s National Cocktail can be found at www.canadasnationalcocktail.ca
