In my biased, Canadian opinion, bloody mary's are a sorry excuse for a drink. it makes me sick that people in America have to suffer through such a shitty drink when all they really are missing out on is one or two ingredients. how someone could enjoy a bloody mary is beyond me. a sunday caesar with brunch is a hangover cure that nothing can rival. you can put pepperoni, smoked salmon, beef jerky, in a caesar. really whatever the fuck floats your boat that you will soon be drunkly piloting, can go into a caesar. it is truly an ever-changing wonder of the world.
now, I've been to the states a number of times, but the first time i was in Vegas, i ordered a bloody mary to see if it compares to a good old Canadian caesar. I was offended when i took my first sip. it was terrible, i could barely finish it, but i paid upwards of 12 dollars for it, so i stomached it. so bland, lacking the complexity that a caesar brings to my taste buds. but maybe it was just a one off shitty drink, so i tried one at the next bar, it was again, shit. tasted like watered down ketchup with some vodka.
and if you're a younger Canadian, just getting into drinking, and you don't like caesars, don't worry, we have all been there. there will be a glorious day when your mind is opened to the grandeur of the caesar.
why hasn't the caesar caught on in the states? is it because of the clamato juice? if we renamed clamato to something like glory juice or something regarding eagles, freedom and automatic weapons, would americans be more keen to try Canada's most famous cocktail?
I beg you american bloody mary fans to please go make yourself a proper caesar at home, or next time you are up in our wonderful land, order one. i hope it will enlighten you and bring joy and happiness to your friends and family.
