In this issue, we look at cocktail trends, meet some of Vancouver’s rising bar stars, taste a trio of classic cocktails that make us want to get out of town, and introduce our new writer, YVR Barfly, a cocktail expert who prefers to explore the city’s bar scene incognito.
Also: In Still Life, Charlene Rooke investigates B.C.’s “third wave” distilling, which is all about capturing our terroir in the bottle. Home Bar columnist Matthew Benevoli shows us how to make a West Coast-influenced spiced rum, perfect for all your holiday eggnog needs. Our Tasting Panel shares their favourite boozy gifts for under $100. And in Moment of Proof, Michael White meets Beam-Suntory’s bourbon ambassador, Ray Daniel.
Plus we cover all the latest spirited news from here and around the world, and offer a complete guide to B.C.’s distilleries. For more, visit thealchemistmagazine.ca.
