Canadian Caesars on cruises?

[BoPippy]

Just wondering from other Canadian or other cruisers if the Emerald has real Caesars,not the Crappy Bloody Mary's type.I seem to remember,but could be wrong,that the bar by the International Cafe had them,but no other bars on the ship.The Spicy Clamatto Juice is so good with the other spices,celery or spicy bean.Tomato juice and vodka don't cut it!!!

it has been hit or miss if they have clamatto juice or not, we saw it on the Emerald in December and in Alaska last May but not on the Star in October

I agree with Vicki, it seems to be hit or miss. They had Clamato juice on our Panama Canal cruise last year, but that might have been becasue we were leaving from Vancouver.

I hope they do...we are on the Coral for Alaska in July...a whole week without one would be tortuous! Although, I do find any Caesars I've been lucky enough to find while travelling outside Canada didn't quite taste as good as they do at home. Hmmm...now that you mention it, I think it's Caesar time now!

We have been extremely lucky since 2002 when we started cruising.

 

Always have had genuine Caesars on every cruise.

 

I hope that we will still be lucky this fall in the Med.

 

Just finished one that DH made for me, yum.

[Cruise Junky]

On the Ruby last September in the Med. they made great Caesars at the aft pool bar. Took him a little while in the beginning to find the Clamato, but no problems after the first one

I had no idea this drink had a name. I just thought it was an interesting twist on a bloody mary that someone adventurous came up with while perusing the juice aisle.

 

Yum! Can't wait to have one! For breakfast of course. When on vacation...there are no rules!

You may not like Bloody Marys but I dont think you have the right to call them Crappy. Myself, I prefer a bloody Mary, Caesars are too weak for me. Maybe I am a bad Canadian.

On 20 cruises on Princess, since November 2008, I've never had any problems, especially since they smartened up and got the 1.89L containers, instead of the little dinky cans. When the bar tenders find out tat I drink Ceacars, they make sure there is lots of Clamato juice on hand,;) :D

I hate to admit that, at my age, I had never heard of a "Caesar." Thanks for the education and suggestion. I'll be looking for one when we board the Diamond in a couple of weeks.

Actually,a Bloody Mary and a Caesar have the same alcohol,exactly!so one is no weaker or stronger than the other.I have the right to call them crappy for MY taste.For you they may be great,so enjoy them.:confused:

Had one on the Ruby earlier this month. Great way to start the day!

I like my Bloody Mary's spicy, and made with Clamato. What's the difference between that and a Caesar? I've never heard of a Caesar until now. :)

[RickEk]

Well, if you want a really spicy Bloody Mary, ask for the Ultimate Bloody Mary... yes, that's horseradish floatin' in there... yum! :)

You also need a spicy Bean.Sold at Sobeys Grocery stores in Maritimes Provinces.Much better than celery.:)

Yup. That recipe is exactly how I make Bloody Marys! Now I have a new name for them! :D

[FlipperRae]

I consider myself a Caesar aficionado, having learned to make them at the age of 10 (for my dad, not me!)...it was my "job" to have one for ready for him at the end of the day. I taught my OH how to make them when we started dating 4 years ago (he had never tried one!) and dare I say, his Caesar making skills have surpassed mine! For my fellow Caesar lovers, many years ago my dad ordered a "gin Caesar" when we were out for brunch. I scrunched up my face and said "ewwww", and he told the waitress not to bring me my vodka Caesar until I had given his a try...WOW, very yummy...I suggest you give it a try if you haven't before...I have since hooked a number of people on them! A bartender once told me this was called a Jaesar (...sp?)! And yes BoPippy, the "extreme bean" is a must, along with a jalapeño stuffed olive and a peperoncini pepper!

[ONT-CA]

Because of the Clam Juice content, the pH of the drink is elevated and so in comparison to a Bloody Mary much less acidic to the taste.

I am with you I didn't realize it had a different name as we have been making Bloody Mary's with Clamato for about 20 plus years. Love the flavor but I like the regular Bloody Mary mix as well.

[koolforkatz]

Not for everyone, but I like a clammy pint now and then. Clamato + beer. Better than it sounds ;)

[Cruise Junky]

This thread made me thirsty...just had a Caesar with dinner :)

I used to top my beer glass off with some Clamato after a few sips.Really good.Kind of got away with it.:)

[Putterdude]

I had an urge for some Caesars about a month ago....purchased the Mott's Clamato (picante)mix at our local Safeway here in AZ....never thought of them as a Canadian bevie but I guess it is. At home in Canada, the Loblaws chain's "President's Choice" offers a Clamato juice product which IMO is better than Mott's.
