A Cocktail Fit For Royalty
Happy Canada Day!
What would Canada Day be without cool cocktails, barbecues and festivities? This year, a royal visit puts this celebratory day over the top. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have made Canada their first stop on their official inaugural tour. The Royal Caesar, a quintessentially Canadian cocktail, was created by Len Fragomeni, Dean of Mott’s Clamato Caesar and features classic English sprits — gin and Pimm’s. The cocktail comes together in no time, and is best served in a Champagne glass.
Enjoy!
