Now I don’t normally condone the purchasing of pre-mixed cocktails from your local liquor store – most are atrocious. But I recently discovered Crazy Uncle Craft Cocktails and fell in love with their version of a Caesar. This is one premixed Caesar you won’t be ashamed of serving your guests at your next soiree when your butler calls in sick. They won’t even know it’s not home made; just tell them it’s your crazy uncles secret recipe he has passed down through the generations.20140612-113645.jpg

For all my non Canadian readers out there, the Caesar was invented in Calgary in 1969, it was inspired by the classic Italian dish – Spaghetti alle Vongole. It’s basically a Bloody Mary with more spices and some clam juice. Yes it sounds gross but it is way better than that old Blood Mary you are drinking. Trust me Mary, Canadians know cocktails.

So what makes this version Über and better than the rest? Simple, it’s all natural craft cocktail – no MSG, no corn syrup, no artificial ingredients. This shit is good. And it’s real. And I wasn’t even paid by Crazy Uncle to tell you. So for the love of Caesar, drink up. Available through the LCBO, $18.95

Note: a mason jar should never come that close to mine or your lips.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
