This year marks 40
sinceWalter Schell’s
a ha! moment, when he
mixed tomato juice with
clam nectar, lime juice,
Worcestershire sauce and
celery salt to create the Caesar
for the opening of Marco’s
Italian restaurant in Calgary in
1969. In the same year, Duffy-
Mott Company introduced
Mott’s Clamato to complement
the drink. Since then the
quintessential Canadian cocktail
has grown in popularity,
and now more than 350 million
incarnations of the Caesar
are served annually
