It was quite the cocktail order at the 2018 International Plowing Match.
A new Guinness World Record for the world’s largest bloody caesar was established Wednesday at the IPM near Pain Court in Chatham-Kent.
It took Chef Bob Blumer of the Food Network and his team of volunteers an entire day to prepare for the record.

The 588-litre drink was garnished with 100 celery stalks and included 60 litres of vodka, 500 litres of tomato juice and a long list of other ingredients.
"We've juiced literally one ton of tomatoes, and we've added 100 litres of clam juice as well as garlic powder, onion powder, worcestershire, tabasco, all of those ingedrients and of course 60 litres of vodka," says Blumer.
The glass that was used for the cocktail was also unique — it was used by popular American rapper and TV personality Snoop Dogg in one of his music videos.
"Snoop Dogg broke the Guiness World Record for the largest Gin cocktail," says Blumer. "I heard about the record, and I found the glass and organizers shipped it across the country."
