Spotlight on summer cocktails
—
Our City Tonight highlights some of the top drinks created by mixologists across Metro Vancouver.
Glowbal Dalgona Coffee
Martin Kovalcik, Beverage Director for Glowbal Restaurant Group, was excited to tell us about the recent Summer Spritzers. One of the eight of these cocktails on the summer menu is the ‘Dalgona Coffee’, offering something that is refreshing, light and delicious.
The Dalgona is a combination of: whipped coffee, Licor 43, Nocino Vancouver Island greenwalnut liqueur, hazelnut liqueur and light almond milk. glowbalgroup.com
Cocktail Pica Punch
Andrew MacDonald, Bar Manager of Homer Street Café & Bar, showcased seasonal cocktails with us. His cocktail choice for this column is the ‘Pica Punch’.
Inspired by the tart limes only found in Peru, MacDonald has created a cocktail that combines the tart flavours of yuzu liqueur, pineapple and lime to make a bright pisco cocktail.
“It’s a great choice to satisfy your cocktail desires this summer.”
MacDonald shares his recipe:
1.5 oz Barsol pisco Quebranta,
0.5 oz Choya yuzu,
1 oz pineapple,
0.5 oz lime,
0.3 oz orgeat,
garnish with 6 dashes ango bitters and decorated with a lime wheel.
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker, shake hard, strain into Collins glass, then top with ice and apply angostura bitters liberally. homerstreetcafebar.com
Chronos Rose 2022
For a taste of summer wine, we asked our friend Christa-Lee McWatters, General Manager of TIME Family of Wines a BC, company offering three award winning brands. The most recent brand, launched last year is Chronos.
The Chronos Rose 2022 is 100 per cent Syrah said McWatters and a little different from many other rose products offered in the Okanagan region. It’s the strawberry, watermelon, rhubarb flavour to the nose and palate that recently won a Gold Medal at the Cascadia International Wine competition. timewines.ca
