When to choose it
How to decide if Caesar is right for you
Caesar is best when you want brightness and a clean tart edge. Choose it if citrus balance matters more than richness, creaminess or heavy sweetness. The listed serve is about 17.6% ABV, so strength is part of the decision.
Skip if
Skip Caesar if...
Skip Caesar if tart citrus is not what you want. Sour-style drinks rely on acidity, so they can feel sharp when you are looking for richness or sweetness.
