Camping with @breakfasttelevision ❤️ Sending so much love to the BT team and @sid_seixeiro for last week. For my first time on BT, I was welcomed with a ton of love and positivity and just grateful for the opportunity. I didn’t get a chance to share last week, but now that I’ve got a second to breathe, wanted to show some of the action the wonderful @itsjessbeard took. If the camping cocktails caught your eye, you don’t want to miss these recipes! Available on my website now if you follow to the link in bio ❤️ #drinkresponsibly #liquidculture #campingcocktails

All for a good dram 🥃 Whisky, especially Scotch, is something that holds a special place in my heart. I realized it was the first real spirit I invested time and effort into learning about, especially with the bar I worked at. If you didn’t know anything about Scotch, it was evident. This spirit got me more confident behind the bar and I realized there is just so much more to learn. And of course, there is space for scotch in cocktails. I actually encourage it. A LOT. That’s why I’m sharing this simple Julep here for the gram today. Oh and those SHIRTS?!? 👕👚 can be found on @redlipwhiskydiary ❤️ What will you be sipping for National Scotch Day? 🥃 Honey Scotch Julep 2 oz Glenfiddich 12 Yr Old (@glenfiddichwhisky ) 0.5 oz - 1 oz Honey Syrup (1:1) 12 Mint leaves (removed from stem) + 1 mint sprig for garnish In your julep tin, release the oils of the mint by giving it a smack. Place in the bottom of tin. Add in your scotch and syrup. Fill 3/4 of the way with crushed ice. Stir/swizzle until the liquid is well incorporated and at level with the crushed ice. Add in more crushed ice. Stir once more. Top with dollop of crushed ice and garnish with mint sprig. #nationalscotchday #drinkresponsibly #mintjulep

It’s the Hotel Cocktail Vibe we needed this Friday 🔥🍹🏖️ After 5+ years together, I can honestly say, I still get nervous, I can’t stop smiling, and I count all my blessings because this show brings me so much joy. Sharing my love for cocktails with this crew has meant the world and today’s segment is easily within my top 5. Today I got the special privilege of taking part in the @thesocialctv Summer TURN UP special. The concept was so creative, and creating cocktails based on the hotel and hosts was just so much fun. If you want to catch the action and all the recipes I shared on the show, make sure to follow the link in my bio ❤️ And that’s a wrap!!!!! I’ll be taking it a bit easier my next two weeks and just enjoy spending time with the little one. God is good. That’s all I have to say ❤️ #thesocialctv #drinkresponsibly #liquidculture #hotelcocktails

Watermelon Cachaca Fizz 🍉 do I need to say MORE?!? Throwing away fruit is a sin in this household so I do my best to use all of it. But…it can be a lot, and when my toddler decides to not have a fruit diet for the day, it’s on me to finish. This watermelon was too good not to pass up, so I thought to shake it up in a cocktail for everyone. It’s simple, refreshing and the perfect serve this summer. Ready to taste? Well I’m sharing the recipe here for you! 🍉 Watermelon Cachaca Fizz 2 oz Cachaca (@cachacasalinas) 0.25 cup fresh sweet Watermelon 0.75 oz Lime Juice 0.5 - 0.75 oz Elderflower Syrup (@alambika) 0.5 - 1 oz Soda Shake all the above except soda. Strain over ice and top with soda. #liquidculture #drinkresponsibly #cachaça #cachaca #cachacacocktail #summercocktails

Scotch, Peaches and Summer never tasted so damn good 🥃🍑🌞 You all know my love for Glenfiddich and I’ve been a big advocate for Single Malt use in cocktails and this is no exception. This time around I bring together Glenfiddich Fire and Cane in this outrageously delicious cocktail. It combines a splash of Mezcal, Pineapple, lemon, honey syrup, peaches and of course Glenfiddich Fire and Cane Whisky. It’s easy to shake up at home, and may I say, it’s the perfect summer cocktail? At least for me it is! Plus, I’m sharing the recipe for you right here! The Smoky Peach 1.5 oz Glenfiddich Fire and Cane Whisky (@glenfiddichwhisky) 0.25 Ripe Peach 0.5 oz Mezcal 1 oz Pineapple Juice 0.5 oz Lemon Juice 0.5 oz Honey Syrup (1:1) Muddle Peach in a shaker. Add all your ingredients with a handful of ice and shake well. Strain over collins glass filled with ice. #Glenfiddich #GlenfiddichSummer #ad

The people have spoken, and I’m sharing some quick insight and more! The feedback I’ve been getting lately is that delivery hasn’t been as easy with LCBO. As they figure it out during this strike, I wanted to share some love and options when it comes to shopping for spirit bottles here in Ontario. There’s a TON of options, if you give yourself time! I’ll be adding more shops in my stories and if you know a store or shop that’s offering great options, let me know and I’ll share! Happy sipping Ontario ❤️🇨🇦 #lcbostrike #ontariodistilleries #toronto #lcbo

Dropping another How To for this delicious spirit ❤️ I can share this openly right now. I was saying Genever wrong for a LONG time. But I’ve got the Dutch approval for this one and wanted to share a little love. Have you had Genever before? Share some of your favourites below! #genever #genevergin #cocktailgram

Mama LC turns 60 TODAY!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ If it isn’t obvious, my mom is my absolute everything. I owe her everything and I will continue to owe her everything til my last breath. She’s my rock, and she continues to say yes to all the craziness I put her through. So we’re celebrating this decade by checking out places she’s always wanted to travel. For her big 60th, we’re doing it BIG in Scottsdale and I can’t wait to continue to always celebrate her. Love you always and forever and you make 60 look so damn good @aucee51 ❤️

Life/Work update - mold problems lead to some much needed organization and I LOVE ❤️ This project was a long time coming, and although it happened at a terrible time, my OCD kicked in and we’ve got a completed project. Just wanting to give a big shout out to those who came through with the support and advice. The introduction of a wooden shelf for the wine + angel share + very poor circulation lead to the initial issue. Wanting to share the final result because so many of you came through with the love and concern. Plus your girl got to build out new shelves, which I’m one of those weirdos that loves to put furniture together 😂 #thriving #alsoexhausted

Let’s Talk Genever 🍸 *Recipe below* Wanting to share more love on Genever because a lot of people in Ontario just don’t know about this DELICIOUS gin style or have had very little access to it. So I’m just out here, letting you know it should be ON YOUR RADAR, because it’s so unique and brings something BEAUTIFUL to your Home Bar. With that said, wanted to share this stirred gem with you all ❤️ it’s become a favourite around here and hope you can find some Genever in your life. Have you tasted Genever? 1.5 oz Old Duff 100% Maltwine Genever @oldduffgenever 0.5 oz Affino Limone (@affinoaperitivo) 1 oz Lillet Blanc (@lillet) 1 barspoon Overproof Rum (@wrayandnephewcanada used here) 1 lemon zest. Stir all ingredients. Strain into chilled coupe. Zest with lemon. Cheers! #genever #genevercocktails #cocktaileducation #drinkresponsibly #whitenegroni #liquidculture

Thankful for the Sheringham Memories @sheringhamdistillery ❤️ We’re back, and creating unique events with our favourite people and brands.

Because Alcohol-Free is just as Sexy 😏❤️🍹 The Alcohol-Free space is growing and I want ALL of it. But I can’t tell you how many times I still hear the “but what’s the point” argument. Because choosing balance is sexy. Because having options is sexy. Because we shouldn’t have to make people feel a certain awkward way because they want to drink less. In my feels about this, and just so happy there’s brands like @sociallitevodka adding more to the space. And for being supportive of Liquid Culture since day one of my photography journey. Cheers to sexy Alcohol-Free options! #alcoholfree #drinkresponsibly #socialite #liquidculture
