CHOOSING CANADIAN cont.
The Caesar is a Canadian icon. Born in Calgary in 1969, this bold blend of vodka, Clamato, spices and creativity proves that when it comes to cocktails, Canada doesn’t follow trends — we set them.
SO YOU LIKE POPULAR AMERICAN GLUTEN-FREE VODKA? Crystal Head Vodka is a good swap! Most people prefer specific vodka brands, especially if they must choose gluten-free brands. But gluten in vodka is a common misconception because all vodka is gluten-free — yes, even if the base is wheat. The distillation process removes the gluten from the spirit, making it safe to consume even if you are celiac. There is a caveat. You should check to see if the vodka has any mash or additives that are added back after distillation. It this is the case, avoid those brands. To be on the safe side, try Canada’s Crystal Head Vodka — it’s made from corn and is blended with water from Newfoundland. Perfect for martinis, Moscow Mules or the Canadian favourite — a Caesar.
CRYSTAL HEAD VODKA Crystal Head is made with high quality peaches and cream corn that is distilled four times into a neutral grain gluten-free spirit and blended with pristine water from Newfoundland. The liquid is then filtered seven times, of which three are through layers of semi-precious crystals known as Herkimer diamonds.
