This unconventional take on the Canadian classic was created for Chatelaine by Christine Sismondo. It uses fresh watermelon and a vegan Caesar mix instead of tomato clam cocktail. All the other products are sourced from Canadian companies with women at the helm.
Ingredients
Salty Paloma Heartbreaker cocktail rimmer
1 cup seedless watermelon, chunks
4 oz Singers Vegan Caesar mix
2 oz Fernie Distillers No. 9 Mine vodka
1 oz lime juice
4 ice cubes
3 dashes Bittered Sling Cascade Celery Aromatic bitters
1 watermelon, slice, to garnish
Instructions
Rim a tulip glass with cocktail rim mixture. Blend watermelon chunks, Caesar mix, vodka, lime juice and ice in a blender until no chunks of ice remain, 45 seconds. Pour into prepared glass. Add bitters and garnish with watermelon slice.
Tip
If you’re a Caesar purist and want clam juice, Singers also makes non-vegan flavours: mildly spiced, spicy and smokin’. All are delicious!
Tip
British Columbia's Fernie Distillers is owned by Jillian Rutherford; Barbara Singer owns and operates Singers Caesar Mix in Ancaster, Ont.; Vancouver's Bittered Sling Bitters was founded by Lauren Mote; Salty Paloma is owned and operated by Toronto's Amanda Chen and Evelyn Chick.
