It is no secret that Canadians love Caesars and this past summer Kettle Brands helped them enjoy the popular cocktail in the form of a salty snack with its new Classic Caesar chip flavor. Released just in time to coincide with National Caesar Day, the chips put a spicy twist on Canada's national cocktail.
The Classic Caesar chips from Kettle Brand were a limited-edition chip flavor released last summer. Similar to Canada's popular ketchup chips, the Classic Caesar chips boasted a strong tomato flavor, with briny undertones. However, to more closely mimic the taste of the spicy drink, the chips also included ingredients such as hot sauce, garlic, vinegar and parsley.
The Classic Caesar chips demonstrate that cocktails and other popular beverages can serve as excellent inspiration for new snack flavors.
