Cousin to the Bloody Mary, the Bloody Caesar (more commonly called just "Caesar") is a Canadian concoction made using vodka, Clamato juice, seasoning and garnish.
Clamato juice, the main ingredient of a Caesar, is a mixture of tomato juice and clam broth, which sounds offensive but is actually tasty and flavorful. Clamato is available at any supermarket or convenience store.
Although Caesars are not common in the US, they are a popular cocktail in Canada and can be ordered at any bar or restaurant and bought pre-mixed in cans or bottles where liquor is sold.
