With Spring officially here in Toronto, you can expect to see a ton of Gin cocktail recipes shared on the Liquid Culture platforms. With Royalmount Gin infused with Rose and Cucumber, I highlight this in the Royal Spring Flush Cocktail. Having the essence of a Gin and Tonic, I dress it up with additional Rose Water, Rose pedal Ice Cubes (optional) plus White Cranberry Juice! This is a VERY easy cocktail to throw together, and expect many more Royalmount Gin cocktail creations soon!

For today, I tried to create something that didn’t use just a “dash” of Licor 43, so I made this Coconut Mint Iced Boozy Cocktail that is hard not to love. Since I still had my bottle of Real’s Cream of Coconut around, I thought it would compliment the flavours going on in this Coconut Mint Boozy Iced Coffee. Choosing your Base Spirit for this Coconut Mint Boozy Iced Coffee I played around with this component for a bit. Since this cocktail has such strong flavours going on, you don’t want a spirit that will hide in this Coconut Mint Boozy Iced Coffee.

And with the help of Fentimans Rose Lemonade, it’s pretty easy to dress up a drink for Spring. With its delicate flavours, I decided to combine some of my favourite tropical flavours including Guava and 100% Coconut Water to make this refreshing imbibe. I’m quite picky when it comes to Coconut Water, and if it isn’t 100% the real deal, I don’t want it. Since Coconut Water can easily become drowned out, I use a large ratio of it in this Spirit Free beverage.

If you aren’t sipping a Spritz on the regular this Spring or Summer, you don’t I mix with the phenomenal taste of Fentimans Valencian Orange Tonic Water to combine Sparkling Wine and Light Aperitivo. n’t stress this enough, this Valencian Orange Spritz is a dream, and if you love the herbaceous notes of Tonic water, you will LOVE THIS COCKTAIL.

We’ve got a Sidecar, Negroni and Rhubarb Mai Tai cocktail celebrating today! Many of you likely don’t know this, but when I was first thrown unto my first bar gig, I didn’t even know how to make a caesar. I felt cool for knowing a cocktail that a lot of my colleagues hadn’t heard about (LOL, sorry, can’t help but laugh thinking that this was my mentality). The thing is, the Mai Tai is ONLY about sophisticated ingredients, and when done right, your world of Rum and Tiki cocktails completely change.

While it’s very exciting for the locals, Buffalo’s rebirth provides new reasons for tourists to travel there. It’s home to Buffalo’s only year round urban hot springs. We rented water bikes from Water Bikes of Buffalo, and it’s one of the most fun things to do in Buffalo, NY. It’s one of the best activities in Buffalo that’s in this Buffalo travel guide.

So I’m welcoming it in this most delicious way I can with this amazing Gimlet that uses this unique Rhubarb Ginger Syrup that I know you will all love. If you love Rhubarb, Gimlets or anything Gin, you want to grab your shakers for this Spring Gimlet. I didn’t really want to dive into a rhubarb cordial (your girl was out of time), so I decided to go with a syrup instead. This isn’t a complicated syrup at all, just make sure you have some Fresh ginger, Rhubarb and lime peels around!

But the stars aligned, and with the inspiration of a Pimm’s Cup, I put together Vermouth and Scotch in a layer of Strawberry, Mint and fresh citrus. This Strawberry Mint Cup is an easy cocktail to make at home, and perfect on a sunny day Inspired by the Pimm’s Cup, we layer this delicious and refreshing Strawberry Mint Cup for the ultimate cocktail. This recipe calls for Honey in this Strawberry Mint Cup, but if you think it will be too sweet for your palate, omit it and you can always add a honey syrup after to adjust.
