The Caesar Stack at Cleaver

It’s the garnish that has people turning heads when they walk by this popular 17th Avenue patio.
It was topped with a fried chicken drum and wing, jalapeno waffle, beef slider, house bacon, tomato fennel ketchup, and a tempura corn dog.
The food sitting on top of this tasty drink also tastes incredible, from the waffles made from scratch to the two-day brined fried chicken that is then sous vide in chicken drippings and deep-fried in a special cleaver spice.
Address: 524 17th Avenue SW, Unit 102, Calgary

Start with the classic $7 gin or vodka and Walter Caesar clamato and add basic options like pepperoni sticks, celery, or pickles, then add $3 toppings (bacon, pirogies, chocolate cake, and cookies) or $5 garnishes (chicken and waffles, spicy shrimp skewers, breakfast sammies, smoked beef, and Caprese salad) to really up your Caesar game.

Caesar at The Guild

Made with dill-infused Sub Rosa vodka, Walter Caesar mix, bacon, and other pickled vegetables to garnish with, this is an understated Caesar with bold flavours.
Using dill pickle vodka is a great way to enhance the drink’s flavour profile without diluting the entire thing by simply pouring pickle juice into the clam tomato juice.
Address: 200 8th Avenue SW, Calgary

Klein/Harris’ version of the Caesar uses house clam and celery broth with your choice of Eau Claire vodka or gin and includes tomato and pickled celery and carrots.

The mix is house-made, and if you’ve never had a tequila Caesar before, you are missing out. Maybe even order a beer on the side and, halfway through, turn it into a Michelada.
