Pisco Sour recipe is up on the blog along with the

Pisco Sour recipe is up on the blog along with the announcement of my new dating consultancy called “What Not To Post.” I’ll be offering 360-degree analysis of men’s dating profiles in Ottawa and beyond. Think Clinton and Stacy but with more eye-rolling, swearing, and head-shaking. Head over to the blog for a free trial of my new service offering.
.
.
Pisco Sour
.
.
- 2 oz Pisco
- ½ oz lemon juice
- ½ oz lime juice
- ¾ oz simple syrup
- 1 egg white
- 5 dashes Fig & Cinnamon or Angostura bitters
.
.
- Add all ingredients except bitters to a cocktail shaker. Shake without ice for at least 20 seconds.
- Add ice and shake again for an additional 20-30 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupe.
- Dot 5 dashes of bitters in a row on top of the cocktail. Using the sharp end of a cocktail pick, drag the pick through the bitters in a single line, creating heart shapes.

If a powdered sugar shower is how you’d like to start your Sunday, might I suggest the Elvis French Toast? Inspired by The King’s favourite sandwich: peanut butter, bacon and banana, this brunch recipe takes it a step further by adding a lime whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon & nutmeg.

It was such a pleasure being back on @ctvottawamorninglive this morning sharing two upscale frozen cocktails for one last taste of summer this Labour Day long weekend. You can watch the segment and get the recipes on the blog!

I’ll be enjoying some sunshine poolside with @msbeltempo and will be keeping cool with these Cucumber Gin Popsicles made with @sipsmith London Dry Gin [AD].
.
.
Cucumber Gin Popsicles
.
.
- 6 oz simple syrup
- 6 inches cucumber, roughly chopped
- 6 mint leaves
- 6 oz Lillet Blanc
- 3 oz Sipsmith London Dry Gin
- 9 oz sparkling water
.
.
- Combine all ingredients except sparkling water in a blender. Blend until puréed. Stir in sparkling water.
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel a ribbon of cucumber and place it into the centre of each popsicle mold, pushing it against the side of the mold.
- Stir boozy contents until well-combined, otherwise cucumber pulp and mint will all float to the top, pour into popsicle molds, leaving 2mm of headroom in each. Add bottoms/popsicle sticks.
- Freeze for four hours before serving.

It was an absolute honour to be selected as a fina

It was an absolute honour to be selected as a finalist in the @mionettocanada cocktail competition. We were challenged with a mystery box round and had to create a cocktail containing at least 1 of the 3 ingredients provided: peaches, orange dark chocolate, and candy corn. Strangely, the only candy corn on offer in Ottawa right now is “Easter candy corn” and is a rainbow of pastels instead of the usual orange!

When I saw peaches I immediately jumped to peaches and cream, I considered doing a milk punch but then realized I could adapt the classic Ramos Gin Fizz to get an incredible peaches and cream cocktail that enhances the stone-fruit and honey notes in the Mionetto. Head over to the @mionettocanada IGTV to watch my full final submission and then pop over to the blog to get the full recipe and the story of my creative journey.
.
.
Peaches & Cream (Candy) Corn Fizz
.
.
- 1 1/2 oz chamomile-infused rye
- 3/4 oz lemon juice
- 1 oz peach thyme candy corn syrup
- 1 oz heavy cream
- 1 egg white
- 3 dashes orange bitters
- 3 oz Mionetto prosecco
- Chocolate-dipped peach slice, for garnish
.
.
- Add all ingredients except Mionetto Prosecco to a cocktail shaker and dry shake. Add ice, shake hard for 30 seconds.
- Strain into a fizz glass. Top with Mionetto Prosecco.
- Garnish with chocolate-dipped peach slice on a cocktail pick. Serve with a straw.

It’s my 32nd birthday today. When I look back on

It’s my 32nd birthday today. When I look back on the past year I see a lot of growth; some of which came from difficult conversations and overcoming challenges. For instance, if we hadn’t been housebound by a global pandemic, I may never have started hosting #virtualhappyhour and wouldn’t have had the opportunity to connect with so many of you. The past few months have had a lot of ups and downs, from moments of crushing anxiety and loneliness to unlocking untapped creativity and finding joy through (virtual) connections. I have a lot of big goals for 32 and can’t wait to share them with you along the way. Thank you to all of you for joining in, keeping me company, and not making me drink alone. Cheers to another year of tasting and tippling! 😘
