Hallelujah you guys, I’m emerging from hibernation after a crazy long cold snap here in Edmonton. The past two weeks have been so cold. I’m talking windchills of -50C cold. I basically stocked up on food and wine and hung out at home for a week, which means I’m now stir crazy and my kids …
Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldrons bubble. While I’m no sorceress, I would like to consider myself an amateur mixologist. Mixing up cocktails and experimenting with flavours is so much fun. Sometimes it works out great, other times not so much (let’s just say Holly and I will never be adding cognac …
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 …
Hello summer, my old friend. After approximately 700 consecutive days of rain the sun has finally come out to play. This is one of the rainiest summers I can remember in Edmonton. The last time it rained this much was eight years ago and Justin and I were so over it we spontaneously booked a …

Definitely different than other gins on liquor shelves. Next I discovered their EquineOX Prickly Pear Vodka, which is next level. …
Half the fun of crafting new cocktails is in the refinement. Adding a little bit of this and a little bit more of that. It’s a tough job cocktail tasting, but someone has to do it 😉. There’s naturally flavours that work well together: lemon and berries, cucumber and mint, tropical fruit and white tea …
Happy May long weekend everyone! How fitting is it that the Thursday before May long is National Caesar Day in Canada. As Canada’s unofficial, official drink, the Caesar is a tried and true summer classic. With so many variations, my girlfriend Holly, of Chandeliers and Champagne, and I decided to try our hand at making …
Summer is so close I can taste it, literally! In anticipation of my favourite season I’m launching a summer cocktail series with one of my besties, and my favourite blogger, Holly from Chandeliers and Champagne. If you don’t follow her yet, you’re missing out. She posts the most beautiful home and lifestyle content, and has …
