COCKTAIL: The Honey Bear
What I love most about cocktails is their ability to set the mood, especially as the finishing touch. My must-have for a quiet night includes a bag of Sea Salt & Vinegar chips, and they must be kettle cooked because I’m a fancy man. Second, I’d light my candles. Right now I’m burning “Champagne Toast”. And […]
COCKTAIL: Pineapple Mint Sangria
It’s the cusp of summer so why not serve up some tangy, zesty and very boozy sangria? Ditch the usual recipe and try mixing one with the sweet nectar of the tropical gods, pineapple juice. Ingredients: Bottle of white wine (something dry like a chardonnay to balance the juice) 2 oz of Brandy 14 oz Pineapple […]
Take Your Coat: The Essential Travel Garb
You can almost hear your mom’s voice in your head… “Make sure you take a jacket with you!” Or, “Take your coat or you’ll catch a death of cold!” When it comes to traveling (and most things in life for that matter), your mom is spot on. When you travel, you’re likely going in and […]
Halifax and Food
I’m in love with travel, and in the last year, more so within Canada. I’ll admit it – I’ve been of the school of thought that spending money to go to Asia or Europe would be more worthwhile than travelling within Canada (it’s expensive!) – but having been born and raised in this fine country, […]
RECIPE: Overnight nights with Strawberries and Coconut Milk
I officially said so long to leisurely morning breakfasts after starting a new job. Rather than waking up around 8AM and prepping a solid breakfast every morning before a hot yoga class, I now get up at 6:30AM, shower, throw on work clothes, draw on my face and rush out the door to get on the […]
COCKTAIL: The Moscow Mule
The great thing about vodka is its versatility. Yes, the detractors will say it tastes like rubbing alcohol and that it’s boring compared to cocktail-darlings like bourbon. But you can mix and infuse vodka with nearly anything. It’s a fantabulous blank canvas that lets other ingredients shine, which is why it’s the perfect mixer for the punchy ginger beer. Oh, […]
TRAVEL: Weekend Packing Tips
It’s the weekend, you’ve got your friends waiting in the car and you’ve procrastinated on throwing together the perfect duffle bag full of essentials. Don’t stress, remain calm, and whatever you do, don’t get out the carry on luggage. You’ve got this. Travel has been of the essence this last year, when having more flexibility […]
COCKTAIL: Gin Bouquet
To be completely honest, I don’t really like gin. It’s too floral, it’s too bitter, and it tastes and smells like a Christmas tree. I know I’m not alone either, does anyone ever order shots of gin to get the party started? Didn’t think so. So why the hell is this week’s cocktail about gin then? […]
#ROGUESTORIES: Jessie and Flo, Fuzz Wax Bar
Building a business from the ground up is a process of careful calculation and precious planning. But you can count on the odd chance encounter or twist of fate to show up along the way—in fact, most often as the moments that define the journey. Enter the founders of Fuzz Wax Bar, Jessica Frampton and […]
The Prince George Hotel
Last month I went to the beautiful city of Halifax, a place filled with modern landmarks, stunning water, and plenty of outrageously good food. Accommodating us was The Prince George Hotel, a centrally located spot with lots of amenities. Mentioning the space to any local was typically met with lit eyes and […]
FOOD: Cresta Toronto
It seems like Toronto is teeming with new spots to eat, drink, and be merry all year round. Our impressive assortment of restaurants and venues has expanded so much in the last two years, that it’s clearly leveled up our eating expectations, alongside our demand for only the best cocktails and wines to accompany. What […]
