Well, well, well, here we are a new year, disappointingly similar to last year, thus far. I think we can all agree we were hoping to finally launch into the roaring twenties after a two-year postponement due to that global health crisis that shall not be named. I’m treating it like Voldemort now and no…

Orange Hot Chocolate
2021 Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar – Day 11 – Orange Hot Chocolate. This was technically supposed to be a #SoberSunday post and be scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, December 12th but apparently when I was drafting the eBook for this calendar my sleep-deprived brain couldn’t process dates on a calendar, so here we have…
St. Nick’s Shandy
Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar – Day 5 – St. Nick’s Shandy. After their immense popularity last year, #SoberSundays are back and here to stay. I’m delighted to be teaming up with made-in-Ontario non-alcoholic distiller Søbrii again this year. You may recall the popular Black(berry) Christmas from the 2020 edition of the cocktail advent…

Ebenezer’s Envy
Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar – Day 20 – Ebenezer’s Envy. It’s our last Sober Sunday of the advent calendar and I’m taking the opportunity to introduce you to a couple of cool products. I’ve called this the Ebenezer’s Envy because while it has no alcohol, it fully captures the spirit of Christmas, unlike…
Black(berry) Christmas
Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar – Day 6 – Black(berry) Christmas. For the first time ever, I’m introducing Sober Sundays to the cocktail advent calendar and on this first Sunday of the month I’m delighted to shake up this zero-proof version of the classic gin bramble with Søbrii 0-Gin from Stratford, Ontario. Today’s post…
Blood Orange Rosewater Mocktail
Guys, it’s Day 16 of Whole30, I’m past the halfway point but I was missing my cocktail shaker more than my mom missed me when I moved away to university. (JUST KIDDING MOM! It’s not possible to miss anything that much) I decided to take matters, and by matters, I mean my cocktail shaker, into…
