History & Heritage
“Walter Chell devised the Caesar in 1969 for the opening of Calgary's Marco's restaurant, inspired by spaghetti alle vongole. He mixed vodka with clam-infused tomato juice, spices, and a celery-salt rim. Mott's soon launched Clamato, and the briny brunch cocktail became a Canadian icon, even celebrated each May on National Caesar Day.”
