The designated driver has to drink something, though, don’t they?
I did!
It’s a hill I’m willing to get slightly scuffed on, too. Caesars are an Abomination Unto Nuggan. But in the interests of International Co-Operation and Unity, I’ll confess that not only do my Bloody Marys contain enough horseradish to choke, well, a horse, but I also make them with V-8. I know, the shame!
But to be fair, everything is an abomination unto Nuggan. But I would be happy to drink one of your Bloody Marys.
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.
Funny, I thought I clicked to view a thread in the Pit. And here it seems I’ve been redirected to the Cafe Society.
BBQ is cooking.
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.
At least you are using your real picture here on SDMB.
On an unrelated note, do you think you might try moisturizing a bit?
I don’t even smoke.
(FTR, that’s a Van Gogh student work - the assignment was to paint a skeleton, and he added a cigarette because he was bored. That Vincent - he so wacky.)
When Van Gogh was painting your portrait, did you realize how famous he was going to be?

Gee, you have to love that Canadian politeness, eh?
…
I kindly suggest you find a ladder and get the fuck over yourself.
To be serious for a moment, it appears that you are humour impaired.

Saturday we’ll be having our weekly cocktail adventure, and Caesars will be the experimente du semane . Thank you!
Enjoy! Looking forward to your report.
I have a bottle of premixed Old Fashioneds chilling in my fridge because of you’all’s postings about your delightful-sounding cocktail hours.
For the first, you seem to be sarcasm impaired, eh?
For the second, it was hilarious the first time I heard it in grade school, therefore it’s still funny.

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!

Mott’s Caesar Rimmer.
Tastes like ass.

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

Tastes like ass.
Et tu, Glute?
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.

Et tu, Glute?
Damn near killed 'em!
(Okay, I’ll stop now)
