The BLT Caesar

The beauty of the BLT Caesar is that it can be used with just about any of the Caesar recipes. The main difference with the BLT is the garnishes. This is one of my faves, because let's face it, everyone loves bacon.

1 oz. vodka
2 dashes of Tabasco Sauce
3 dashes of salt and pepper
4 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
5 oz. of Clamato juice

Garnish:
Rimmer (Celery Salt)
1 wedge of lime
1 small piece of romain lettuce
1 slice of bacon
1 slice of tomato

Use the wedge of the lime to moisten the rim of the glass. Rim with celery salt. Fill glass with ice. Add all ingredients and stir well. Garnish with  a small piece of romain lettuce, a slice of bacon, and slice of tomato.
