The Boss Lady Cocktail is for professional drinkers only. For those of us who know how to fully take advantage of bottomless mimosas at brunch. Don’t tell me there is a limit to “bottomless” – there is no limit. Speaking of mimosas, the Boss Lady cocktail would be a serious upgrade to your brunch drinking….

Raspberry Coconut Croissant French Toast with Honey Chamomile Syrup
After finishing Whole30 at the beginning of the month, I was craving a decadent brunch dish but wanted to be mindful of my dairy intake. Much like Antoni from Queer Eye – I’m a dairy freak – but sadly, it doesn’t always agree with me. So, while this recipe isn’t entirely dairy-free, thanks to the…
Gold Rush
As I’ve been hosting my nightly Virtual Happy Hours, I’m always researching accessible three-ingredient cocktails, The Gold Rush fits the bill perfectly. This is an adaptation of the classic whiskey sour but without the egg white and bitters. Made with only bourbon, lemon juice, and honey syrup, this is sort of like a cold version…
Isaac Newton’s Sidecar
As part of my personal commitment to bring a bit of levity to your life during these dark and uncertain times, today I am serving up an endlessly drinkable reinterpretation of the classic Sidecar cocktail and my recommendations for must-watch television. I think we are all spending a heck of a lot more time in…
Ginger the Honeypot
Fall is upon us and I’m celebrating the season with moody nail colours, leather jackets, and the return of boots. It also means I’m bringing back spiced, whiskey-based cocktails. Ginger the Honeypot is a rye-based drink made with a spiced honey syrup, Chinese Five Spice bitters, lemon juice, and topped off with punchy Jamaican Ginger…
The Walnut Grove
Ugh…I have been fighting a cold for the last week and I forgot how much I hate it. Is the capacity of the human nasal cavity endless? I’ve felt like I was drowning in my own snot for the past week. Good thing we’re not eating anything in today’s post, eh? Would have spoiled your…
Irish Honey
Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar – Day 16 – Irish Honey. This is a really interesting cocktail that combines Irish whisky with a honey thyme syrup, Galliano vanilla liqueur and a twist of lemon. It’s quite simple but surprisingly complex. The honey thyme syrup I created for this cocktail is a riff on…
The Drunken Pear
Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar – Day 9 – is upon us and here we have The Drunken Pear. This drink is a really interesting flavour experience that you might not have sampled before. Pear, ginger, lemon, honey and rye make for a delightful combination that is easy-drinking yet complex. Also hoping your…
Scotch Violets
My friends spoiled me rotten this past weekend for my birthday. I’m known for having fairly particular tastes, which makes gift-giving an anxiety-inducing affair for my friends and family. Luckily, I didn’t have to force any smiles or exclamations of, “Oh, you (really) shouldn’t have!” this year. I can be a bit of a…
The Torchlight Cocktail
Sometimes I’m amazed that I can drink tequila. My parents have had a timeshare in Cabo since I was 13 and I definitely overindulged on Mexico’s favourite spirit once or twice. There was a time in university where the mere scent of cheap tequila on the bar at Liquor Store Party Bar would make…
