I created this drink for the first cocktail menu I was ever in charge of creating. I wanted to come up with something simple, tasty and boozy, and so I worked on a hybrid between some of my favourite classics. Even now after having created many cocktail menus, it is still to this day one…
Canadian summers are no joke. As brutally cold as our winters can be, our summers can be extremely hot. In my case, being raised in Ottawa, it tends to get not only hot but uncomfortably humid as well. As a child, we had a few methods to cool down during summer including running through sprinklers,…
Funny thing running Bartender Atlas. We go to whatever cities we can as often as possible and then suggest some of the bars that stand out from that trip (you know, like Paris or Sydney or Mexico City) but we have never done one of these in our hometown. A few days before leaving to…
The Address Downtown Hotel, in which this is a signature cocktail burned down on NYE in 2015 and has finally reopened after 3 years of renovation in 2018. 45ml Ron Zacapa Ambar Rum 20ml Hayman’s Sloe Gin 3 dashes Peychaud’s Bitters 15ml House-made Grenadine* 10ml Fresh lime juice 30ml Fresh pink grapefruit juice Combine all…
I wanted to create a Sam Ross style cocktail where it can be repeated and recreated anywhere with ingredients most bars have on hand. It was a combination of his Penicillin Cocktail and a New York Sour, but subbing tawny 10 year port rather than red wine to add some extra complexity. 22ml Lemon Juice…

Strain into a Rocks glass with fresh ice cubes and grated nutmeg on top….
Whoever came up with the idea to combine eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla together is a genius. Custard, cake, french toast, crème brûlée, eggnog…. the possibilities are vast and delicious. I made eggnog for the first time a couple of weeks ago, but instead of milk and cream I used cashew milk. The results were…
It’s the beginning of a conversation we need to have. It’s the next step in helping marginalized communities in Toronto and Canada at large. It’s more than just a rum and Coke spritz. 45 ml Bacardi Cuatro 20 ml Banana Liqueur 12.5 ml Fernet Branca 7.5 ml Lime Juice 22.5 ml Coke (Mexican Coke preferred)…
Herbaceous, botanical, refreshing. 1 oz Pisco 0.5 oz Gin 0.25 oz Maraschino 0.25 oz Pear Liqueur 0.75 oz Lime Juice 0.5 oz Chamomile Syrup 1 large basil leaf muddled in shaker Shake, double strain, serve up in a Nick & Nora glass with basil oil dashed on top.
I typically create more fruit forward style cocktails as that is what the clientele in my local market is driven towards. This cocktail was designed to be a winter influenced drink but still shows its juicy and vibrant side! 1 oz Casamigos Tequila Blanco 0.5 oz Pama Liqueur 1.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice 1.5 oz…
