> [@Pardel-Lux](#): > > A cocktail with horseradish? Now that sounds interesting. My recipe for a Bloody Mary: Two or three ice cubes in a highball glass. Over them, add: Couple of shakes of lemon juice Half a teaspoon of horseradish Couple of shakes of Worcestershire sauce Couple of shakes of Tabasco Couple of grinds of black pepper Couple of shakes of celery salt Add 1 1/2 ounces of vodka. Add well-shaken tomato juice. Garnish with nearly anything: celery stalk, lime wedge, pickled bean or asparagus, olives, dill pickles, bacon, Slim Jims, Hot Rods … almost anything goes. ---

> [@wolfpup](#): > > As I get older I find that it is frankly not a great choice for a before-dinner drink at a restaurant because it does tend to be filling. You can come in hungry, order a large Caesar festooned with celery and hot peppers, and when you’re done you’re ready to go home again! 😉 I’m confused. Your second sentence sounds like a nice and relatively inexpensive meal was had; no paying for boring food you don’t want. I’d call that a win. Your first sentence says this is a bad thing? I’m confused. ---

Speaking of Worcestershire sauce, is there any decent brand prepared without anchovies? ---

Ah, I believe the source of your confusion is that on these occasions I am generally out with one or more other folks, who either may not indulge is such Caesarean extravagances or who are younger than I and hence not inclined, immediately after consuming a large Caesar, to require an after-dinner nap. 😉 I have since sought to confine my Caesar consumption to at-home lunches, post-lunch afternoons, and similar events not preceding elaborate restaurant meals. Which should not be interpreted as detracting in the slightest from this venerable ambrosia of alcoholic beverages. As a veritable Food and Drink of the Gods, the force of the Caesar is strong – as strong as the pleasures it proffers – and it must therefore be treated with respect, and allotted its correct place and time. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > And I must correct your misinformation - A Bloody Mary isn’t vodka and Campbell’s tomato soup. It’s vodka and Heinz cocktail sauce! So THAT’S what I’ve been doing wrong! I’ve been making mine with V-8 juice (well, the store brand). [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/caesar-the-canadian-cocktail/983333.md?page=1)
