I think the equivalent of the the LLB here is the Caeser, Wildly popular but I cant for the life of me imagine why anyone would want to drink either personally!

How could you NOT like Caesars? They are my very favourite drink. We were at a function recently and everyone was drinking Caesars and my granddaughter wanted one - so she got a Virgin Caesar and she thought it was great too!!

Nope, it's a drink. A Bloody Ceaser. Clamato Juice, Vodka, and all the other ingredients of a Bloody Mary.

(Well, that is, I didn't actually remark upon it, but one could have as it was a rum do. Not actually with rum though.)

Personally I don't like them or Bloody Mary as I don't care for tomato juice.

Would a pharmacy really have this?? I'm almost too embarrassed to go in and ask!
I've tried a couple of gourmet shops, no luck. Haven't got the time or energy to traipse all over, if anyone could tell me the definitive answer as to what this stuff is classed as in Canada, and thereby where to look for it, I'd be eternally gratefully - oh, and I'd also mix you a lovely drink

Lol - love the way qoutes can work against you - especially when deleted for good taste (not refering in any way to the taste of such a drink)
