Starfish Oyster Bed & Grill ($12)
For true seafood lovers, the Starfish Caesar is the closest you get to that fresh ocean flavour in a glass. Using all ingredients from the Great White North, Starfish boasts “the truly Canadian Caesar”, and with full right. From the house-infused chili Iceberg vodka, to the dulse rim from Grand Manan, New Brunswick, to the freshly shucked east coast clam, this cocktail embraces the briny saltiness of the sea with the addition of fresh clam juice. It’s these thoughtfully made additions that make it possibly the freshest tasting Caesar made to order. (And if you’re not a fan of clams, you can substitute it for an oyster instead).
