This is the classic French 75 cocktail but I changed it up with a sparkling rosé. I called it Blush 75 (and others may have named it similarly as well) because the sparkling rosé would give it a tint of pink. The colour is also perfect for Valentine's Day. And I love that I have all the ingredients at home so I don't have to buy a bunch of cocktail stuff that I don't use often.
So over the holidays Mr. got into cocktail making and we're looking up recipes online to try. The tricky thing is, we don't have a lot of ingredients readily available and we also don't want to stock up a lot of liqueurs, syrups or bitters and clog up the shelves. Then I was given this New York Sour recipe and with some modifications, it's just the perfect drink for us to make at home.
Halloween is just around the corner. Are you hosting a party, having friends over? Are you looking for cool yet easy entertaining ideas? How about a 2-ingredient cocktail?
For the second year, Juke Fried Chicken in Chinatown is participating in Dine Out Vancouver. I was invited to a tasting of its $25 menu.
Earlier this month, as media, I was invited to attend the 3rd annual Science of Cocktails event at the Science World. It was the perfect venue as the Science World was transformed into a giant lab where drinks were changing from blue to pink, bananas being sous vide in honey, popcorn was frozen with liquid nitrogen, a "toothpaste" palate cleanser, smoking herbs, vaporized gin & tonic, fermentation, a sniffing station, foodies pulling themselves up a lift... the list goes on!
