  • Because not everyone likes #eggnog (or alcohol), here’s a holiday welcome cocktail 🎄 that looks stunning and can be served #alcoholfree! ⠀ ⠀ INGREDIENTS:
2 oz. gin
1 oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
1 oz. pure #cranberry juice
1 oz. rosemary and sage syrup*
3 oz. soda water

  • You could get clever with creations like the Nog-roni, or you could just make the best darned classic #eggnog there is. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ INGREDIENTS: 6 large eggs 1 cup granulated sugar 2 tsp ground allspice 12 oz bourbon or rum 3 cups whole milk 1.5 cups heavy cream 2 whole nutmegs (for garnish) See link in bio for method. 🔗 And tag a friend who’d like to share this with you! ☃️ 📷 @loulouchilds
  • 📣 @oddsocietyspirits is set to officially launch their newly branded single malt and rye whiskies (made from 100% local grains) THIS Sunday, December 16! 😀 Odd Society Spirits is releasing both whiskies at 46% ABV in 750ml bottles. Priced at $64 for the Canadian Rye Whisky, and $68 for the Single Malt Whisky, the majority will be sold at the distillery’s bottle shop and cocktail lounge starting at 1pm. The remaining bottles will be available at select private liquor stores (prices will vary). Watch for more details and the new brand reveal! ✨ . 📷 @oddsocietyspirits
  • North meets West. 🌾 Northern Grains—the newly released second member of the @goodridgeandwilliams family of whiskies—is made with a mash bill of B.C. winter wheat and gets 100 days finishing in Okanagan wine casks. 🥃 Its non-chill filtered, with notes of dried stone fruit, toasted wood and sherry. . . Which direction will you go?
  • We feasted like kings and queens and closed out an amazing year of cocktail coverage at @foragevancouver last night as a team. 💛 Thank you for all your support this year. We couldn’t have done it without you, and we hope you all find yourselves in cosy rooms with crisp cocktails to celebrate the season. 🌲 Where will you be celebrating with your work family? Tell us in the comments what Christmas craziness you have planned! 🎉👇🏻 📷 @foragevancouver
  • Congrats chef Liam Breen and bar manager Andrew Fletcher on the grand opening of @verreyvr! And welcome back to Canada chef! (Breen has been busy winning accolades in #Dubai for the last few years.) Verre’s inaugural fall/winter menu 🍁 is an homage to the season’s deep, rich flavours. Strong, classical #French elements with touches of #Mediterranean influence in dishes such as #DuckRillettes, #ChargrilledOctopus 🐙 and Parmesan-Crusted Veal Chop. There’s also an exciting vegetarian 🌱 menu. Verre takes its name not only from a drinking vessel, but also #DouglasCoupland’s “City of Glass” moniker for #Vancouver, and finally from the jewel-box design 💎 of the 3,300-square-foot dining room. The restaurant opens tonight at 4pm!
