Canadians have been enjoying Caesar cocktails for more than a half-century, and while we haven’t been around for the full journey, we’ve certainly seen our share of creative renditions over the years. 

To make mixing up unique Caesars a little easier this summer, Mott’s Clamato recently released a new Caesar mix featuring a fresh infusion of cucumber and basil. The new mix forms the base of this delicious recipe that also sees peppers and tomatoes muddled in a simple process.

Jalapeno and Basil Caesar cocktail

4 slices jalapeño pepper
1 1⁄2 oz vodka
1⁄4 cup chopped tomatoes
4 oz Mott's Clamato Cucumber and Basil Reserve
