Move over Bloody Mary, and all hail Caesar! If you're Canadian and know the frustration of ordering a Caesar at a U.S. bar and getting a Bloody Mary instead, then this survey is for you. The Caesar (also known as a Bloody Caesar) was created and primarily consumed in Canada, and consists of Clamato juice (which is a blend of tomato juice and clam broth) and vodka. What differs it from the Bloody Mary is the Clamato juice, and Caesar lovers know that it makes all the difference -- Bloody Marys are too sweet and a distant second to the Caesar. Whether you are a fan or not, how many of these Caesar facts did you already know?

The Caesar was invented in 1969 by restaurant manager Walter Chell of the Calgary Inn (today the Westin Hotel) in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He devised the cocktail after being tasked to create a signature drink for the Calgary Inn's new Italian restaurant. He mixed vodka with clam and tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, and other spices, creating a drink similar to a Bloody Mary but with a uniquely spicy flavour.

Chell said his inspiration came from Italy. He recalled that in Venice, they served Spaghetti alle vongole, spaghetti with tomato sauce and clams. He reasoned that the mixture of clams and tomato sauce would make a good drink, and mashed clams to form a "nectar" that he mixed with other ingredients.

Chell's Italian ancestry led him to call the drink a "Caesar".

Basic preparation of a Caesar follows the "one, two, three, four" rule. The recipe calls for 1–1½ oz of vodka, two dashes of hot sauce, three dashes of salt and pepper, four dashes of Worcestershire sauce and topped with 4–6 oz of caesar mix and served with ice. The ingredients are poured into a glass rimmed with celery salt or a mixture of salt and pepper and garnished with a celery stalk and lime

Though it was not one of Chell's original ingredients, Tabasco sauce is a frequent addition, as is horseradish.

No one really knows why cocktails are called coktails. Originally only a nickname for an animal that rears up when irritated, by the late 1700s it had become another word for a horse with a "cocked" or shortened tail. So, how did it become associated with mixed drinks? One theory claims it's to do with the drinks making you feel energized and sprightly, like an energetic horse, while another suggests it's because cocktails were popular at the races. Alternatively, the two meanings could be entirely unrelated—one equally plausible explanation is that cocktail might in fact be an anglicized version of the French coquetier, meaning "egg-cup," which was perhaps once used to serve the libations. Do you have a favorite cocktail?
