The Dish: Let's celebrate a little bit of Canadian pride. Today marks the 40th anniversary of the invention of the classic and oh-so-Canadian (Calgary-born) drink: the Bloody Caesar. Invented by Italian bartender Walter Chell, it was originally meant to be the signature drink for the opening of the Calgary Inn, now the Westin, four decades ago. You know the drill: clam juice, tomato juice, Worchestershire sauce, vodka and a kick of Tobasco! Now Mott's is trying to get Parliament Hill to declare the drink as our national cocktail. Coolios.
Note: NOT to be confused with the Bloody Mary, which is lame and has no clam juice in it. Some people even make the Bloody Mary as a virgin drink. Wuss.
