Sesame-Washed Jim Beam Bourbon, Demerara, Cinnamon, Angostura Bitters. A nutty & spiced Old-Fashioned riff perfect for cozying up with during these dark winter months.
Mary’s On Davie: Refraction
https://marysondavie.com/
2oz Empress Gin, 0.5oz Fresh Lime Juice, 1oz Thyme Honey Syrup. Shaken, topped with Soda and garnished with a Thyme sprig. When light refracts, it changes the perception of the image into something unexpected. This is a refreshing, slightly herbal cocktail that gets its colour from the pea blossom flowers used in Empress Gin. The colour shifts when citrus is added, creating a lovely pinky-purple hue.
Espana: Eugenia
https://www.espanarestaurant.ca/
Roasted chestnut infused bourbon, locally foraged pine tincture, birch syrup and spruce tip bitters. Eugenia has inspired us to look for art and beauty in our community. We wanted to take a cocktail steeped in tradition, the old fashioned and infuse it with the west coast. We foraged for all of the ingredients (minus the birch syrup) in Stanley park. The Eugenia installation reminds us how easy it is to find bounty and beauty in our very own backyard.
