- Makes1 servings
This take on the quintessential Canadian cocktail was created by Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds for the 2022 book Caesar Country. “It’s the quintessential Canadian cocktail and one of the first drinks I ever had," he says. "We lived on Crescent Drive, hence the name.”
Cocktail
2.5 oz gin
1/2 oz dry vermouth
1/2 oz Caesar mix, mild
1/4 oz lemon juice, finely strained
1 tsp olive brine
Garnish
lemon peel, and/or olives on a skewer
Instructions
Pour the gin, vermouth, Caesar mix, lemon juice and olive brine into a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice to just above the top of the liquid and stir with a bar spoon until the outside of the shaker is very cold to the touch.
Strain the contents of the shaker into the chilled glass and garnish with the lemon peel and olive skewer
