Pro-Tips & Pairings:
-
Batch It: Hosting brunch? Pre-mix everything except the vodka and ice in a pitcher. Let guests add their own spirits and garnishes for a DIY Caesar bar that'll impress everyone.
-
Eat This: Pair with our Phlippen Pulled Pork Sliders for the ultimate brunch spread, or serve alongside our Smoked Phlippen Wings for game day perfection.
-
Make It a Mocktail: Skip the vodka for a Virgin Caesar that's just as flavourful and satisfying—perfect for Sunday morning recovery.
-
Garnish Game: Go all out with a skewer loaded with shrimp, bacon, pickles, cheese, and olives. The more over-the-top, the better the Instagram photo.
- Rimmer Hack: If you don't have Phlippen Rimmer on hand, mix celery salt with a pinch of smoked paprika and a tiny bit of dried Phlippens for a DIY version.
