Caesars are an Abomination Unto Nuggan.

I know, the shame! ---

I’m not insulting Caesars. I’m just insulting Clamato. But to be fair, I don’t like regular tomato juice either, so combining it with clam is just making an unpleasant thing moreso. ---

> [@ASL\_v2.0](#): > > Funny, I thought I clicked to view a thread in the Pit. And here it seems I’ve been redirected to the Cafe Society. Clamato is just a way of trolling people who like drinks that taste good. There - I said it. 🤢 On a more serious note, an observation about social media trolling in general. On my FB account my profile picture is not a picture of me but rather a bit of abstract artwork my daughter drew when she was younger. I’ve noted that the only people who have ever objected to it - and claimed that it was an indication that I must be a troll - are obvious trolls themselves with fake profiles. Usually when I point out that anyone can take a picture off the internet and pretend to be that person, they drop out of the thread, but the fact that so many of them have done this - and no one else - makes me wonder if they have a script or guidebook for this sort of thing. Just a passing thought. ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > Saturday we’ll be having our weekly cocktail adventure, and Caesars will be the _experimente du semane_ . Thank you! Enjoy! Hopefully you can find Mott’s Clamato. I don’t know if you’ll be able to find what I called Mott’s Caesar spice, but it’s actually called Mott’s Caesar Rimmer. I use the “original” type. For the lazy (like me) you can just sprinkle a little over the top of the drink instead of rimming the glass. The other essentials are supposed to be Tabasco and Worcestershire and, optionally, horseradish. I had been buying premixed Caesars in cans at the liquor store, and recently switched to buying non-alcoholic single-serving cans and adding my own vodka because I thought it tasted better. I realized later that the non-alcoholic stuff wasn’t a Caesar mix at all, it was just plain clamato (both are made by Mott’s). I guess the moral of the story is, go easy on the Tabasco and Worcestershire until you know how much of it you prefer. These days I seem to prefer none at all. But the Caesar rimmer is an essential part of the authentic experience, and so is something like a celery stalk plunked in the glass. Don’t forget: lots of ice, lots of vodka! ---

> [@wolfpup](#): > > Enjoy! Hopefully you can find Mott’s Clamato. I don’t know if you’ll be able to find what I called Mott’s Caesar spice, but it’s actually called Mott’s Caesar Rimmer. Bought the Clamato today. That’s bog-standard stuff at US grocery stores everywhere I’ve lived. Admittedly they only have a few bottles of the stuff in the giant aisle-o-ten-thousand-juices. OTOH, dedicated Caesar seasoning is a no-hoper. But I got this recipe online and have “Montreal” steak seasoning already. I like my Bloody Mary’s with some heat & tang so this should be good. Let the experiments begin. I got this recipe online: > Caesar > For rimming: > > - ½ teaspoon celery salt > - ½ teaspoon garlic salt > - ½ teaspoon steak seasoning > > For drinking: > > - ¼ ounce lime juice (from about 1/2 a lime), and more for coating the rim of the glass > - 2 ounces vodka > - 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce > - 2 dashes hot sauce > - 4 ounces Mott’s Clamato or other tomato-clam juice ---

I checked the ingredients list on the Mott’s rimmer and it’s completely unhelpful. It just says “salt, spices, sugar, dehydrated onion”. Your recipe is probably a fine approximation. Why they put sugar in it I have no idea. Taking a sniff of the jar, the distinct sense is of celery salt. ---
