Caesar Cocktail "lunch"

John DOH's Note:

The Caesar Cocktail is a uniquely Canadian drink, invented in Calgary Alberta some thirty plus years ago. Difficult to find a US bartender that knows what you are asking for, but an excellent and refreshing drink, especially when served "all decked out" as follows! Note that while Vodka is featured in the drink, it is not necessary to add, as the drink does very well in "Virgin" form.
