SPICY VIRGIN CAESAR

If you had told me I would have ever enjoyed drinking clam and tomato juice, I think I would have laughed a little at you.  Before moving to Canada such a drink would have never been considered but hey, things change and Canadians love the stuff. 

In my no alcohol January I have been trying different drinks and the Spicy Caesar is one I would normally slosh a generous amount of vodka into so I figured it was a good choice to try booze free.  The addition of enough Tabasco can mask the non alcoholic properties quite nicely and I can see myself drinking these more often. 

SPICY VIRGIN CAESAR

Clamato juice, either regular or spicy

Garnish with celery stalk (which you use for stirring the drink too) and the lime wedge
 

 

And a note to my Mum: I promise when you visit they will be kicked up!
