Gold Winner Stubborn Goat Gastropub
Silver Winner The Black Sheep
Bronze Winner Durty Nelly's Authentic Irish Pub
The Goat keeps it simple when it comes to this clammy cure all because when the ingredients are solid gold, bells and whistles aren’t necessary. For this winning cocktail, head bartender David Casey says Nova Scotia Blue Lobster vodka is the liquor of choice, with garnishes like a house-made spicy bean, olives, cucumber lime and a little pepper bringing the Clamato and hot sauces to life. (The Stubborn Goat also serves a bacon Caesar, with chipotle Tabasco, steak spice and bacon in the mix.) Casey thanks the thirsty folks for helping him sell lots of brunchy booze: “Halifax loves their Caesars and we take pride in lining them up—you just keep knocking ’em down.”
