There was rain, and more rain. Dark skies. Heavyclouds. Cold, miserable days. And then, just when spring was in sight, snow, and lots of it. Is it any wonder we’re craving a taste of the tropics?
In this issue of The Alchemist, we indulge our taste for all things tiki and tropical. We celebrate the rebirth of Vancouver’s favourite tiki bar. Our Tasting Panel offers their expert opinion on rums. In Home Bar, Justin Taylor demonstrates how to make falernum, the essential tiki syrup. And we have a Last Word on the Mojito.
Meanwhile, Charlene Rooke looks into the artisan ice trend and discovers the frosty blocks and cubes, spheres and pebbles that make cocktails so cool. Tim Pawsey samples the spicy craft spirits and liqueurs that are turning the heat up on Fireball. And in our new feature, Hey, Bartender, Wildebeest’s Alex Black shares his thoughts on the meaning of service from his side of the wood.
