It’s recently come to my attention that I have little dog energy. You know when you go to a dog park and you see a teacup chihuahua absolutely terrorizing a German Shepherd?

Pink Fuzz, Purple Haze – Grapefruit Wheat Beer and Rum Cocktail
I’m baaaack with the second of three beer cocktails from my first published article in Ottawa Magazine. This particular concoction is called the “Pink Fuzz, Purple Haze”.

Red-Nosed Nightcap
Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar – Day 17 – Red-Nosed Nightcap. i was initially going to call this drink something else but when the raspberry and blueberries aligned just perfectly against the side of the glass, making a Rudolph face, I knew I needed to name it accordingly. I’m going to warn you,…
