Caesar Cocktail (as per the Canadian Encyclopedia)
Canada's national cocktail, made with vodka, a tomato clam juice mixture, spices, Worcestershire, a touch of Tabasco, and traditionally served with a celery stick. Invented by Walter Chell in Calgary, Alberta in 1969; Chell wanted a new drink to celebrate the opening of his Italian restaurant. And voila, a Canadian beverage with a Roman name.
