Quench your thirst for all things spirited: The spring issue of The Alchemist is out this week.

The 11th edition of B.C.’s only magazine dedicated to cocktail and spirits culture brightens the season with a taste of the tropics.

Here at The Alchemist, we’ve been dreaming of blue skies, sandy beaches and fruity, rum-based cocktails. In this issue: We celebrate the rebirth of Vancouver’s favourite tiki bar, sample aged rums, learn how to make falernum and have a Last Word on the Mojito. Meanwhile, we also get chill with the artisan ice trend and check out the craft distillers turning the heat up on Fireball. And in our new feature, Hey Bartender, we hear some thoughts from the other side of the wood. Plus we have a complete guide to BC’s distilleries, the latest spirited news and plenty of tiki-rific recipes to quench your thirst until summer.

Pick up a free copy before they’re gone! Find The Alchemist in select distilleries, cocktail bars and independent liquor stores across B.C. Or make sure you never miss an issue, and subscribe right here.
