what makes a good caesar: the brand of vodka? the tomato to clam juice ratio? the garnish used? i don’t know – you tell me! – but i can tell you who makes a good caesar: the haven social club. i discovered haven on a blustery winter day this past february. at the time i was screaming for socialism, cbc, and more speak n spell while listening to the dulcet tunes of taking medication. (side note: music does not need more cowbell, it needs more speak n spell, dammit!) what better drink to enjoy the night with than a caesar? only this was the best caesar i ever had. it was garnished with a pickled asparagus, and other than a smooth, savory taste, i can’t tell you much more about what made it so great. i highly recommend that you all take your medication at haven and try one for yourself.
one of many caesar recipes:
6 oz. mott's clamato juice
1½ oz. vodka
2 dashes tabasco sauce
2 dashes worcestershire sauce
celery salt
freshly ground pepper
lime/lemon wedge
1 crisp celery stalk
1. rim highball glass first with the lemon slice and then the celery salt.
2. fill this glass with ice.
3. add vodka and juice to ice, and season with pepper, worcestershire sauce, and tabasco.
4. stir, and then garnish with a celery stick.
I'm a fan of the pickled asparagus instead of the celery stick! Yum.
