Before I tell you about this incredible bright and tropical beer cocktail, I’d like to encourage you to nab one of the very few remaining tickets for my first in-person cocktail class at Chef’s Paradise here in Ottawa, this Friday, June 24 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The theme is “Tipple’s Tea Party” and we’ll be shaking…

Scout’s Honour – Whisky Beer Cocktail
Call your father, better yet, make him a drink.

Peppered Strawberry Balsamic Shandy
Summahhhhhhhhhhtime! Finally. Shandy season is upon us. Whoever came up with the idea of adding fruit juice to beer deserves a medal. This is a bit of a departure from your typical shandy as it doesn’t actually involve any juice. In this example, a complex savoury syrup is muddled with strawberries to yield a…
