PrintThe Bloody Caesar
The cocktail was invented at the Calgary Inn in Calgary in 1969. In its original form, it contained tomato juice, mashed clams, lime, vodka and Worcestershire Sauce.
Clamato had only just been released (coincidentally) by the American Mott's company that very year, and was not yet widely known or available, but soon became the mix of choice for the perfect Caesar.
The drink quickly became a favorite at the few downtown Calgary watering holes in the year that followed. With the opening of Julius Caesar's Steakhouse in 1972 and a slight alteration in the recipe, The Bloody Caesar found its true home.
A Mott's Clamato Juice national advertising campaign in the mid 1980's, featuring Caesar's Steakhouse, recognized our role in popularizing this namesake cocktail.

Caesar's Traditions
Call it a hangover from the much-heralded days of the 3-martini lunch. We call it a Caesar's tradition. For over 45 years we have offered an Emperors size cocktail a full 3 ounces. Maybe it is because we live in the heart of cattle country - big fields, big mountains and big skies. So it should come as no surprise that we like our cocktails the same way we like our steaks BIG!
