Sommelier Gregory Alonzo Makes: Dan Akyroyd’s Bloody Caesar

Here’s a vodka cocktail introduced to me by Dan Aykroyd.  It is called a “Bloody Caesar.”

2 ounces of vodka

2 dashes of hot sauce

3 dashes of salt and pepper

4 dashes of Worcesterhire sauce

6 ounces of Clamato juice

Serve in a tall glass with ice

Glass should be rimmed with celery salt and garnished with a celery stalk and a lime wedge.

Of course, Dan recommended using his “Crystal Head” vodka. The “Bloody Caesar” enjoys great popularity in Canada. Every year, Mott’s hosts a tasting event and claims the “Bloody Caesar” is the most popular mixed drink in Canada.

According to Australian film star Bryan Brown,  replace the vodka with a beer and you have what he  affectionately called, a “Red Eye,” I have also heard that it’s great for a hangover.
