The Bloody Caesar is a slight variation of the Bloody Mary made with clamato, reconstituted tomato juice concentrate flavored with spices and clam broth. It was invented in 1969 by Canadian mixologist Walter Chell, who was inspired by the flavours of Spaghetti Vongole (spaghetti with clams).

The stylish version served at The Plough adds mezcal to the concoction. It’s pungent aroma is followed by a the right amount of salty and peppery flavours that continue to the bitter finish.
