Tyler and I had some time to kill on Whyte recently and of course decided to get a Caesar somewhere. The final decision was made between the Keg and Packrat Louies by flipping a coin through the sunroof of a moving car. Heads came up, and off to Packrat Louie's we went.
It turned out to be a great decision, as we saw our friend Alex, and she brought us some of the tastiest Caesars I have had the pleasure to drink in this city. It was brought in a glass that was more reminiscent of a tropical drink, and while it was labelled with a Bacardi Limon Caesar recipe, it was definitely not that. Rather, it was a bright tasting Caesar that was light on the palate. Sometimes the drink can be a bit cumbersome, but the combination of ingredients in this Caesar brought a very refined taste to the table.
Packrat Louie's Caesar definitely had a bit more kick to it than other Caesars I have tasted on this blog, which is something that I really enjoy. I'm a bit of a spicy fanatic. The other flavors were crisp and refreshing, with just the right amount of Worcestershire sauce. The garnish of the bean added a bit of the tangy vinegar side, and the olive just added an extra garnish element that goes great with the drink.
For $6.50 I know I would definitely go to Packrat Louie's patio and enjoy this drink on a beautiful day.
Taste 4.5/5
Creativity 3/5
Garnish 3/5
Bang for your buck 4/5
Total 14.5/20
Verdict: If you're craving the classic Caesar done up right, this is it.
