The Caesar is unlike any other drink. It's name conjures up images of vivid red clamato, salty rims and exotic spices. As unusual as this combination of ingredients is, it is the most savory, wonderful drink that we have tasted. While the simple, original recipe is undoubtedly genius, variations abound. It is our humble duty to seek out various Edmonton locales and imbibe in their version of this ambrosial elixir, and let you, the public, know which establishments will satisfy your want.

Edmonton Capitals Baseball Stadium Canned Caesar 4/20
Reviewed by Bryce Zimmerman
Mott's does a good job of promoting the Caesar as a drink throughout Canada since they are the purveyors of the key ingredient - Clamato Juice. Based on that, it would seem as though they would make their canned Caesars as tasty as they can. This was a sore disappointment.
I was at the Edmonton Capitals home opener having a good time heckling and drinking, and we decided to get a can of Caesar since, lets face it, Caesars rule. However, this offering was definitely a failure - from the tacky blue can product design to the taste. I know that the blue can is the regular Caesar and the red can is the spicy one, but I would just like to say that blue is not even remotely a colour I associate with Caesars, so already my mind is thinking otherwise to this can of Caesar. Crack the top, take a swig, and honestly it's straight Clamato with a bit of vodka. No spices, nothing beyond regular Clamato. I do enjoy Clamato alone occasionally, but when I want a Caesar it is definitely for the spices, and this one had nothing. It was definitely not worth it. I am sad that a product exists that will give the Caesar a bad name.
Price: $6
Taste: 1/5
Creativity: 1/5
Garnish: 1/5
Bang for your buck: 1/5
Total: 4/20
Verdict: It shouldn't even be called a Caesar.
