The Bee's Knees
Bee’s knees is one of my favourite gin cocktails to serve people. Its simple and the lemon and honey is a great accompaniment to a dry juniper forward gin. It was around the 1930’s when the Bee’s Knees came about after bartenders began using honey as a sweetener instead of sugar. The honey add much more depth and flavour opposed to simple syrup. Tonight I will be serving the...

Jam Cocktails
Time to use the rest of the preserves we have been storing this winter. Since we live in canada where winter really drags on its difficult to find fresh local fruit year round.

Tonight we a couple different jam cocktail along with some...
History of Grog, One of the earliest known Rum...
August 21, 1740, Admiral Edward “Old Grogram” Vernon of the Royal Navy issued orders to his captains that sailors should add water to their allowance of rum. To compensate for the foul tasting water lime and sugar was recommended to be added to this mix. This concoction would be named Grog after the Admiral who sported a cloak made of grogram, a heavy water resistant material. It was...
Boulevardier
This obscure classic cocktail was my go to winter sipper. A winter Negroni of sorts with the substitution of bourbon for gin warms up the soul as you drink it and the bitterness from the Campari leaves you craving more. Lets all say goodbye to winter one last time with a boulevardier cocktail and look to the spring and summer months. cheers.

Ramos Gin Fizz

Sounds more like a dessert but it tastes like a...

The Singapore Sling was thought to be created in the Raffles Hotel in Singapore between 1905 and 1915 it falls into a category of drinks called Slings. Typically a Sling is Spirit, Citrus, Sugar...
