  • Kelowna-based restaurant @raudz has launched its own craft gin, The Whole Truth, made by @okanaganspirits and flavoured with locally grown botanicals. It was inspired by The Truth, a variation on the G&T featured at RauDZ Regional Table on opening day a decade ago, back in spring 2009. The gin has plenty of refreshing cucumber and floral aromas, as well as the citrusy notes of mock orange, a native B.C. shrub that was foraged by Tyler Dyck, the CEO of Okanagan Spirits, at nearby Poplar Point. The gin is available exclusively at Raudz Regional Table, micro bar & bites, Sunny’s Modern Diner, and Terrafina at Hester Creek by RauDZ.
  • “When news arrived that Sooke’s Sheringham Distillery had scooped Best Contemporary Gin in the World at the prestigious World Gin Awards, I, like so many others, was truly thrilled. After all, what an achievement for the relatively neophyte distillery perched on Canada’s wild and westernmost edge. But there was also a personal connection, as the awards were judged at London’s Honourable Artillery Company, right across from where I used to stay at my Uncle Ricky’s apartment. Ricky was a true Londoner of his era. In the City, he always wore a bowler hat. He liked his daily gin in civilized pours and his martinis dry, with mere vapours of vermouth, exhorting: ‘Just wave the cap at it, old chap!’ It was his generation, and the few before (all now sipping in eternity), who for years shaped our perception of precisely how “good” gin should taste.” 👌🏻 See link in bio for more of @hiredbelly’s musings on the evolution of terroir-driven made-in-B.C. gin.
  • Can summer coolers be sophisticated? These dry sparkling coolers made from local ingredients could class up any beach basket. 🌞 Now, these aren’t big, bold flavours, but light and refreshing, more tart than sweet, eminently sippable on a hot summer’s day. We especially loved the basil with its lightly herbaceous savoury note. 🌿 See link in bio for more!

  • At @timbervancouver, Jonathan Dennis plays with flavours that hail from coast to coast to coast. Timber’s cocktail menu offers concoctions like the Bourbon Butter Tart, made with a brown butter fat-washed bourbon. And then, of course, there is the Caesar. 😍 Timber offers five variations on Canada’s favourite cocktail. 🇨🇦 See link in bio for more! #partner
  • Highlights from last weekend’s fantastic @punchbowlfest are up in Stories now! 🍹🧡
  • The theme of this year’s Vancouver Pride Parade is “50 Years and Still Fighting” and with many across the city and region set to join in the celebration on West End streets, there are venues across Vancouver that are stepping up to raise awareness and money for Pride-related causes. The Mackenzie Room has rallied together eight other restaurants for a week-long joint-effort cocktail fundraiser to align with Pride – and being a great ally is the fitting theme. From July 29 through August 4, the nine participating restaurants will each have a special cocktail on offer called “Pride Ally #stillfighting50” – in step with the Parade – and a percentage of the proceeds from each drink sold will go to @qmunity. 🌈 See link in bio for more. 📷 @themackenzieroom
