  • Eight Vancouver bars have made the list of Canada’s 50 Best Bars of 2019. 👏🏻 👏🏻 Which spots do YOU think cracked the list? 👇🏻 Then hit the link in bio to see if you’re right!
  • Ready for the weekend! ☀️What are your plans? 📷 @madlabspirits (plus recipe!)
  • Victoria Caledonian Distillery's single malt spirit has been named Best Canadian New Make in this year's #WorldWhiskiesAwards. These awards are an annual competition attracting the best international whisky brands. The #VancouverIsland-based distillery also claimed a bronze medal for their Macaloney's Twa Cask Islay blended Scotch. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ⠀ ⠀ This Scottish-influenced distillery uses traditional distillation techniques, Scottish copper potstills, and BC-grown barley to make surprising smooth and remarkably fruity single malt 'new make' and whisky. ⠀ Dr. Graeme Macaloney, president and whisky-maker said of the award: "It's a truly amazing accomplishment for our young distillery which is just 2.5 years old. There are some really fantastic distilleries with decades of experience who regularly compete for these awards, which is a testament to the world class expertise that we've assembled plus our focus on quality. We've got some fantastic spirits in maturation right now and I think Canadians will be blown away with the whiskies we'll be releasing in 6 months time!"⠀ ⠀ While the distillery doesn't sell the 'new make' itself (unless customers buy a cask), it does sell its Scotches and maturing single malt spirit, the Mac Na Braiche. 📷 @victoriacaledonian
  • “The drink is intended to be a Canadian highball, that is, a drink that is spirit forward, but is also balanced and refreshing,” says Jeff Savage, @botanistdining’s head bartender, who created the Treebeard cocktail. 🌲 The large, crystal-clear ice cubes are precisely measured to fit the glassware and are cut with a band saw. They are also adorned with the Botanist logo: The custom metal stamp is placed on top of the cube and gravity does the rest. ⠀ ⠀ • 1.5 oz Canadian Club Rye Whisky • 0.5 oz gin, preferably St. George Terroir Gin • 1.5 oz birch water • 1 oz Smoked Tea Syrup (recipe in link in bio) See link in bio for method. ⤴️
  • Want to relive the excitement of the 7th annual @deightoncup #cocktailjockey competition at @prohibitionyvr this past weekend? 🏆 Check out Stories for the highlights, and who took home the big cheque! 💰
  • There are numerous recipes for a white or blonde Negroni, but this is the variation preferred by Andrew Kong, bartender at H Tasting Lounge. What makes it stand out is the perfectly clear king ice cube 👑. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ • 1.25 oz Long Table Distillery Dry Gin • 1 oz Luxardo Bianco Bitters • 1 oz Lillet Blanc or Cocchi Americano See link in bio for method ☝🏻. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ICE ADVICE: To make a clear king cube at home, start by buying a small cooler that fits inside your freezer. ❄️ Fill cooler to top with water and place in the freezer for 24 to 30 hours (depending on freezer temperature), until the water is frozen. Remove ice block from cooler; the top 1 to 1.5 inches will be a clear ice sheet. Carve sheet into desired shapes and sizes. Or visit alcademics.com for more information on the directional-freezing method for getting clear ice at home. — by Andrew Kong, @htastinglounge
  • Try a Scottish spin on the classic Derby Cocktail—The Mint Julep.
