Taste and Tipple

This classic sweet martini is sometimes considered the precursor to the martini - although is very different on the palate. Sweet vermouth and maraschino liqueur make this an easier-drinking alternative to a classic dry martini.

MARTINEZ

- 1½ oz gin
- 1½ oz sweet vermouth
- ¼ oz maraschino liqueur
- 2 dashes angostura bitters
- Garnish: orange twist

- Stir ingredients with ice in a mixing glass until well-chilled.
- Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
- Garnish with orange twist.

MARTINEZ COCKTAIL RECIPE

This Orange Tequila Smash recipe comes from my good friend and former coach Amanda Chen of Salty Paloma, you can find her original post here: https://saltypaloma.com/blogs/salty-talk/mandarin-orange-tequila-smash-recipe. Amanda is a formidable cocktail content creator and the entrepreneur behind Salty Paloma drink rimmers.

When this episode originally aired on my Virtual Happy Hour Series on Instagram Stories (http://instagram.com/tasteandtipple) on May 26, 2020 I was doing a weeklong feature showcasing other cocktail creators who I admire and who inspire me - like Amanda.

ORANGE TEQUILA SMASH

- Rim: Salty Paloma Havana drink rimmer
- 1 orange, chopped
- 1½ oz reposado tequila
- ½ oz lime juice
- Garnish: lime wedge

- Run a wedge of lime around the rim of a rocks glass and dip in the drink rimmer.
- Muddle chopped orange in a shaker tin. Add remaining ingredients and shake over ice until well-chilled.
- Strain into prepared glass over ice.
- Garnish with lime wedge.

ATTN: WHAT I REALLY WANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY! 🎁 W

ATTN: WHAT I REALLY WANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY! 🎁

When I asked you guys what you were getting me for my birthday (coming up on August 8th - mark your calendars) you said everything from a trip to NYC to bespoke footwear and everything in between. While I do *love* an extravagant gift, all I REALLY want is to share a drink and some quality time together.

I’ve teamed up with @barfromafar to create a Birthday Cocktail Kit to get the party started. If you live in the Ottawa or Toronto area, my birthday wish is that you’ll order this kit and join me for #virtualhappyhour on Friday, August 6th and shake up this Strawberry Birthday Cake cocktail together.

The kit includes a total of four unique drinks inspired by the most-gifted birthday presents: cake, money, chocolate, and flowers. You can order your kit from barfromafar.com or through the link in my bio!

Hope you’ll join me in raising a glass to celebrate another year wiser and somehow better looking!

If you’re like me and spend too much time on Tik

If you’re like me and spend too much time on TikTok you’ve probably seen these “what I eat in a day” videos circulating. Frankly, I find them hilarious because most are so extremely “healthy” - green smoothie for breakfast and a single unseasoned poached egg, salad for lunch, salmon and kale for dinner, a snack of almonds or fresh fruit if they’re feeling peckish. If that’s what you eat in a day, everyday, good for you! But I think it sets an unrealistic and sometimes unforgiving tone for what we put in our bodies.

I’m tempted to do a “what I eat in a week” video because I think we need to normalize balance and “imperfect” diets. Most days I just have black coffee for breakfast and sometimes I eat popcorn for dinner. Of course there are weeks or days when I repeat to myself, “My body is a temple” and I mainline leafy greens but my diet changes depending on how I’m feeling, where I am or who I’m with.

I worry that consuming content that is inflexible on diet and only celebrates discipline and restraint encourages shame and disordered relationships with food. I’m not a nutritionist or dietician - these are just my opinions.

Since restaurants reopened, I’ve been dining out most nights (just doing my part to #savehospitality ) and have probably consumed about two green vegetables in the last 3 weeks. Obviously I love decadence and carbs but now my body is telling me to give peas a chance. With that in mind, I think it’s high time to revisit this Grilled Summer Farro Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing - it has grains and grilled halloumi so my body probably won’t go into shock when I try to reintroduce vegetables. I’ve included the link to the blog post for this at the link in bio!

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

It’s #NationalDaiquiriDay so I thought I’d share this Cold Snap Daiquiri I came up with for my rum cocktail class with @chefs.paradise back in the fall. I’m so excited about the prospect of being able to host in-person classes sooner than later! Stay tuned for my next class with Chef’s Paradise which will be slated for the early Fall!

It’s definitely more of an autumnal moment but is equally tasty in the height of summer.

Cold Snap Daiquiri

- 2 oz spiced rum
- 3/4 oz vanilla ginger syrup
- 3/4 oz lime juice
- Garnish: apple fan

- Add ingredients to a shaker tin and shake over ice until well-chilled.
- Strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass.
- Garnish with an apple fan.

It’s come to my attention that today is #nationalicecreamday and I wanted to help you cherish this special occasion by directing you to my no-churn Strawberry 🍓 & Coconut 🥥 Semifreddo recipe from the blog.

Only 25 minutes of hands-on time and then let it firm up in the freezer and prepare to be dazzled.

Here’s a picture of me, sitting on a patio, peering into the air conditioned interior of my favourite restaurant, longing to dine in a temperature controlled space sheltered from the elements, and suddenly realizing, “I can go in there!”

Who is excited for the return of indoor dining in #Ontario today!? Which bar are you bellying up to first?

I *love* brunch and I’m so excited to soon be able to host my friends and family for brunch feasts with everything from eggy breakfast casseroles to fruit and yogurt parfaits.

I’m so grateful to have such talented and creative friends who inspire me with their work. My friend Dianne @diannagramflowers is a brilliant gardener and florist — her backyard is a true oasis of natural beauty. She created this stunning arrangement for me and my jaw dropped upon seeing it. It took every ounce of restraint not to garnish all my cocktails with the selection of beautiful blooms in this arrangement but Dianne warned against it because those beautiful bell-shaped flowers are foxglove and happen to be quite poisonous. Stay tuned for more appearances of her talent in my cocktail photography and give her a follow if you’re seeking more floral beauty in your feed!

After spending what felt like a lifetime cooped up

After spending what felt like a lifetime cooped up in the four walls of my condo, I was deeply relieved when the restrictions were lifted and we were allowed to travel to la belle province again.

Even though Montreal is only two hours from Ottawa, it feels like a different country. The architecture, the food, the boutiques, the AMBIANCE. These past few days have fed my soul and fueled my creativity. I can’t wait to share more from my weekend getaway with you in a blog post this week. But until then, I still have some more exploring to do.

My entry to this year’s #MionettoCocktail compet

My entry to this year’s #MionettoCocktail competition was this Prosciutto, Prosecco e Melone. A weird and wonderful creation that translates the classic prosciutto and melon appetizer from the Italian culinary tradition of Aperitivo hour into cocktail form.

Though I didn’t advance to the top 10 this year, I’m still really proud of this drink and wish all the top 10 finalists the best of luck in the final round! Head to the blog post to get all the details on how to make the infused rye, cantaloupe purée & basil syrup - if you’re feeling ambitious.

Prosciutto, Prosecco e Melone

- 2 oz prosciutto-infused Rittenhouse rye
- 3/4 oz cantaloupe & key lime purée
- 3/4 oz basil syrup
- 1/4 oz affino aperitivo
- 2 oz Mionetto Prosecco
- Garnish: prosciutto wrapped cantaloupe & one basil leaf

- Add all ingredients, excluding Mionetto, to a cocktail shaker and shake over ice until well-chilled.
- Double strain into a chilled flute glass.
- Top with Mionetto Prosecco.
- Garnish with prosciutto wrapped cantaloupe wedge and basil leaf skewered on a cocktail pick.

Hello, beautiful. This Key Lime Pie Dutch Baby tastes as good as she looks. Is it weird to post an decadent brunch dish on a Tuesday? I would say, “Not this week.” Because if you live in Canada you probably have Thursday off work which means it’s basically the end of the week already and you should be planning your statutory holiday meals already!

Arugula is easily my favourite leafy green and when I was developing the recipes for my free Fresh From the Garden eBook (available at link in bio) I knew I wanted to use it as the starring ingredient in one of my new tipples.

The Roquette Man is a peppery, spicy, agave-based cocktail with a subtle sweetness from peach liqueur and a bright citrusy finish.

Roquette Man

- 3 tbsp chopped hot yellow pepper
- ½ oz simple syrup
- ¼ cup fresh baby arugula
- 2 oz tequila blanco
- ½ oz peach liqueur
- ½ oz lime juice
- ¼ oz lemon juice
- Garnish: arugula leaf

- Add hot yellow pepper & simple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Muddle until the pepper is pulpy. Add arugula, muddle until leaves are softened.
- Add remaining ingredients and shake over ice until well-chilled.
- Double strain into a rocks glass over one large cube.
- Garnish with single arugula leaf.
