Day 12 - Caesar (drink your veggies!)

TL;DR
Happy New Year
​Start the year off right with a classic Caesar, everything you need to get your year going

---

Caesars have a special place in my drinking repertoire. They're not something I sought out, and even today I only drink them at specific times. Specifically, IMHO they are the BEST drink after an evening of imbibing, like so many of us did last night.

There are a couple reasons for this:
1. I always make a double, to cut through the morning fog
2. It's a full serving of veggies, and you get pickles for garnish, good for the guts
3. Extra spicy gives you a get-up-and-go kick
​4. Clamato and salt are a shock to your hazy palate, waking up your senses and providing a bit of protein

Directions
2oz Gin
couple shakes of tobasco
couple shakes of worcestershire sauce
Lemon juice
Clamato
salt&pepper
Run lemon wedge around rim and dip glass in caesar rimmer (or not, I don't). Fill glass with ice, add gin, tobasco, worcestershire, and lemon juice. Top with clamato juice. Garnish with celery stick or spicy bean (or lobster tail, whatever)
​

If you really want to impress your friends and family at brunch, offer up Oyster Caesar shots. Using large shot glasses (4oz if you can find them), shuck a fresh oyster into each shot glass, top with your premixed Caesar. They look cool, taste awesome, and go down way too easy. Enjoy!
