Craft Tiki Cocktails

Home bartender based in St. John's, Newfoundland. Like many, I got into this hobby-turned-obsession-turned-side gig during the pandemic, and it's been a journey! I have a passion for tiki classics and modern exotic cocktails, especially when I can infuse them with spirits and quality ingredients from the East Coast of Canada.

Editor's Note

Rhum Agricole brings a grassy, earthy backbone to this holiday tiki riff. Grapefruit, sage, and cinnamon create a layered, festive profile that balances bright citrus with warming spice.
