2 tbsp brown sugar

Directions
1Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). To make the cocktail drink, in a large measuring cup or pitcher, combine the clamato juice, vodka, hot sauce, 2 tsp (10 mL) pickled green beans brine, Worcestershire Sauce and black pepper (set aside drink garnishes for later use). Chill cocktail while making bacon twists.
2Set out a baking pan fitted with a wire rack (line bottom of pan with parchment paper to catch drips). In a small bowl, mix the 2 tbsp (30 mL) pickled green beans brine, brown sugar, chopped dill, chili flakes and the ¼ tsp (1 mL) celery salt into a glaze; brush onto both sides of bacon strips.
3Tightly twist each bacon strip from end to end into a long thin corkscrew. Lay the twists on the baking rack; brush tops with any remaining glaze. Bake for 20 minutes then gently turn over and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool. (Tips: While the glaze is still moist, sprinkle with additional black pepper, chili flakes and chopped dill, if desired. Cooled twists can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated up to 2 days before reheating briefly at 350°F/190°C to re-crisp.)
4To assemble Caesars, moisten the rim of 4 highball glasses with a lime wedge. Spread the 2 tbsp (30 mL) celery salt in a small dish; dip in glass rims to coat. Adjust spice level of the chilled cocktail drink with more hot sauce and pepper, if desired.
5Drop a few ice cubes and a lime wedge into each glass. Stir the chilled cocktail and divide among the glasses. Insert a celery stalk, pickled green bean and dill frond into each drink and lay 2 bacon twists across the rim. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
