Happy World Cocktail Day! What better way to celebrate than with a delicious, new cocktail recipe. I love creating new variations of a simple syrup. I feel like it’s one of the easiest, cheapest ways to experiment with new cocktail flavours. For this simple syrup I infused figs and thyme to give it a sweet, …
Love is in the air…and the way to this girls heart is through food and drinks. While I’ll never say no to flowers or jewelry, it doesn’t take much to make me happy and pink drinks sure do make me happy! With Valentine’s Day just a few days away, I’ve rounded up a few of …
Tis’ the season to be tipsy! Holiday cocktails are some of my favourite to make, I’m a sucker for a theme. Even if I’m not entertaining this year, good food and good drinks are definitely still going to be a big part of my holiday season. I’m excited about this cocktail because it features some …
Can you believe it’s already December? Somehow 2020 has been both the slowest and longest year of my life. The holiday season is one of my favourite times to play around with new recipes. I love festive meals and delicious drinks! I’ve talked about my love of Eau Claire distillery a few times on this …
The past couple of weeks I’ve been hard at work thinking up and researching fall and winter cocktail recipes. Summer cocktails come so easily to me, but I find cocktails in the cooler months need to be a bit more complex. Maybe I’m just overthinking it, maybe not. I’ve made it my goal to start …
A good Gin & Tonic is the epitome of a summer drink in my opinion. It’s funny, I love them, but have no real desire to drink them other than on a hot summer day. They’re just so refreshing! A Gin & Tonic is such an easy drink to make, but the key is using …
How’s everyone doing? Hope you’re staying home and staying safe ❤️. This social distancing stuff is weird; it’s so opposite of my general nature, I thrive on being busy and social. I’m not going to lie, this isn’t easy, but I know it’s necessary and so we’ve stayed home for the last three weeks or …
While the practical side of me knows that we’ve got another month or two of winter left, the optimist in me sees a couple days of above zero temperatures and a bit of melting snow and breaks out the jean jacket and spring drinks. We’re in a bit of a warm spell here in Edmonton, …
I’ve been hearing the dreaded f-word popping up more and more lately…fall. Our mornings are starting to get crisp, the leaves are turning yellow and Starbucks released their Pumpkin Spiced Latte. I flat out refuse to drink a fall drink in August though, call it a principle thing. Instead I’ve decided to honour the dog …
I first fell in love with Eau Claire Distillery (an Alberta-based company) a couple of years ago when I tasted their gin at a wine festival. It was so smooth–a bit fruity and undoubtedly delicious. Definitely different than other gins on liquor shelves. Next I discovered their EquineOX Prickly Pear Vodka, which is next level. …
