Any Caesar rimmer should either contrast or complement the drink. The one here is a contrast, as the Chinese five spice powder helps mellow the seafood flavours of the cocktail. This Caesar was designed using a British Columbia–made gin, added oyster sauce to reflect the wealth of seafood in BC, and capped off with Sriracha hot sauce and a rim that includes Chinese five spice, to represent the diverse Vancouver culture.
