There’s nothing like a crisp, refreshing gin & tonic on a hot summer day. It’s one of my go-to summer cocktails for sure. Gin & tonics are also such an easy drink to dress up and elevate. This recipe was inspired by a new bottle of gin I was gifted. I’ve tried a lot 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 …
Doesn’t this photo just give you all the winter feels? As I type this, big, fluffy snowflakes are falling outside and I may, or may not be listening to Christmas music with the fireplace on. Today I’m coming at you with a classic cocktail done two ways, the Bee’s Knees. This cocktail is an oldie …

Lilacs are one of my favourite spring flowers. They have the most incredible scent and make such a beautiful, full bouquet. I’m lucky my mom has two trees in her yard that I get to raid as much as I want! Unknown to a lot of people is the fact that lilac blossoms are actually …
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 …
If I think Spring thoughts, and drink Spring drinks, will that magically make Spring appear in Edmonton? Probably not, but this cocktail is so good I don’t even care that it snowed this weekend…again. I’ve been wanting to make a honey-based cocktail for awhile now, so I was excited to partner up with the Edmonton …
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, …
