Bloody good caesars in Edmonton

There are those who like their caesars straight up and those imbibers who prefer a little flair with their clamato and vodka. From strips of bacon to pickled asparagus, there's nothing quite like a cocktail that doubles as a tasty snack. In honour of National Caesar Day on May 19, we rounded up the city's top caesars, ranging from classic to creative, to sip on.

Some like it hot: Best hot chocolate spots

On a cold, snowy Edmonton night, nothing says lovin’ like a cup of hot chocolate. It’s no surprise this drink was originally dubbed the “elixir of the gods.” Regardless of the variety you select, or whether you opt for the simplest hot chocolate on the menu, all I can say is ... don’t forget the marshmallows.
