PRO TIPS

Depending on the size of the ice cubes, the shaking and stirring varies – meaning, smaller ice cubes require a little shake/stir while bigger ice cubes a longer shake/stir.

You can make your own syrups out of pretty much any ingredient. Just use 1:1 ratio water to sugar and add your favorite ingredients. Summer for 20 minutes and voila!

Wash labels off old liquor bottles and use them to store homemade syrups.

Always shake cocktails with citrus. Never shake with soda, it will explode!

Fresh herbs and colorful citrus make great garnishes. Herbs help with aroma and colour adds visual appeal.

Cocktails are about a complete sensory experience. The more senses you appeal to, the better the experience!

ELISE'S #GreatGinTonic

ELISE'S #GreatGinTonic

In creating this cocktail, Élise wanted to enhance her trademark spicy touches by using our delicious Tonic Water. Its sweet bitterness certainly impresses, leaving a mouth-watering intense flavour.

THE ATWATER TUNNEL

THE ATWATER TUNNEL

This cocktail will appeal to all tastes. Using her boundless creativity, Élise wanted to create her version of a Long Island, limiting the types of alcohol that are usually used. Its sweet peach flavors will remind you of warm summer evenings.

RAWDON FEELS

RAWDON FEELS

This cocktail isn't called "Rawdon Feels" for no reason! Élise wanted to remember the good times she spent on her grandparents' terrace surrounded by beet fields. Even though beets are rarely used when making cocktails, Elise is confident that even the most novice amateur will enjoy it!
