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 …
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 …
Rhubarb is one of my favourite garden treats in the summer. I just love the tart, sour taste of it and how well it works in baking. This year, I was determined to find a fun, new use for it, besides my go-to strawberry rhubarb crumble so I decided to make a rhubarb simple syrup …
I’ve had a love for all things Italian for a long as I can remember. It’s my favourite country to visit. The history, architecture, beaches, city life, food and drinks; it just can’t be beat. Enjoying an Aperol Spritz in Rome There’s no drink, in my opinion, that has as strong a claim to being “Italy’s …
I’ve always found it amusing that there’s a day for just about everything.

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, …
There are so many ways to say I love you on Valentine’s Day. My favourite would have to be through good food and good drinks. Food and booze are my love language haha. So, with that in mind there was no way Holly (@chandeliers.and.champagne) and I could let a holiday like Valentine’s Day go by …
