(*Clamato actually makes it a bloody-caeser)

For a different garnish, try a kosher dill pickle spear. Bloody Mary with a dill pickle, don't get mo' better than that.

When in Canada on business I always make it a point to have a Bloody Caesar, sounds like the same drink describe by Theo B. Essentially a Bloody Mary with Clamato juice instead of Tamatoe juice. I believe it is the number 1 mixed drink north of the border yet here in the States nobody knows what it is.

This is always a great drink to have before a meal. It heightens your appetite, especially with a cold beer chaser. We just call it a Ceasar. You can buy clamato juice already spiced up but I prefer to spice my own. Sometime I use a spear of lemon grass for a "Thai Style" ceasar. The bars in Calgary have Ceasar making contest during Stampede week.

Another interesting garnish is pickled green beans, first had this at the Martin Mack, Upper Haight. I had never seen it before, it really nice.

Wow. How early is that? I didn't know that it was ever too early (or late) to crack a brew

As a Canadian I can attest that the Ceasar is a very popular drink. I used to have to take a couple jugs of Clamato with me when I went to Florida but it is now being carried in stores down there, perhaps due to the very large number of Canadian snowbirds.

Boiled shrimp make a wonderful garnish for BM's.
