City Girl Whisky Diary: How to make a whisky cocktail
The Distillery Bar + Kitchen in Yaletown makes excellent whisky cocktails and their Yaletown Distilling Co. just launched their first small batch whisky in February. (To go with their house made vodka and gin!)

#12DaysofHygge – Day 8: Candles & Cocktails + City Girl Connects with French Seventy Six

There’s a frosty bite in the air, which means it’s officially hearty soup and stew season. With that, the next few #12DaysofHygge posts will be all about hearty food and beverage!

City Girl Whisky Diary: Ardbeg Long Table Dinner at Shebeen
I love a dinner party. But the ones I’ve hosted or attended (outside of Christmas time) have consisted of maybe eight people, maximum. So I was intrigued when I attended The Irish Heather and Shebeen Whisk(e)y House‘s ‘long table dinner’ for Ardbeg Distillery a couple weeks ago.* It was me, the Brit, and about 30-ish other people. Long table dinner = a MUST! *Gifted experience. Shebeen is the Ardbeg Embassy for Canada, which makes them privy to…
