    What's the big deal about the Caesar? Swap out tomato for Clamato and you're done! Also some celery salt around the rim. It's a Canadian thing.

    Please someone please, write on article on the Caesar. Heck, I'll do it if you want me to but just do it. It is too good a drink not to be shared. I will post pics of some of the ones featured here in Toronto.
