Attention Caesar lovers! For the second year in a row, Mott’s® Clamato® is inviting Canadians to help crown the “Best Caesar in Town®” and give one deserving establishment a shot at winning $25,000. But it doesn’t stop there! For every Mott’s® Clamato® product sold between May 19th and September 5th, $1 of every purchase will go towards a donation to the Bartenders Benevolent Fund (up to a maximum of $30,000).
“When it comes to cocktails, nothing’s more Canadian than a Caesar. That’s why we’re so proud to support the bartenders, mixologists and industry professionals who’ve helped make this iconic cocktail what it is today,” said Cameron Butt, Director of Marketing for Mott’s Clamato. “We also wanted to show our solidarity with the hospitality industry that’s been through so much these last two years and shine a light on all the bars and restaurants that make this country great.”
Starting on May 19th (National Caesar Day) until July 4th, Canadians will be given the opportunity to nominate their favourite local bars and restaurants that make the best Caesar by visiting www.MottsClamato.ca/BestCaesar. Any establishment that receives at least five nominations will immediately advance to the semi-finals and move one step closer to the chance of winning the $25,000 grand prize. $15,000 will also be awarded to the second place finalist and $10,000 to the third place1. As a show of thanks, all nominators will automatically be entered for a chance to WIN a Backyard Lounge Prize for their participation.
From all the nominations received, a judging panel will select 30 semi-finalists who will be asked to submit a short video sharing their Best Caesar recipe. Out of the 30 selects, a top 10 will be announced and then it is up to you. Public voting opens on July 29th and will run until September 5th. All 10 videos will be shared online to help Canadians and the judges make their final decision.
