Essentials

Refreshing

This Irving glass-inspired drink is a riff on one of, if not the most untiki of the tiki classics. Making use of fantastic ingredients from Atlantic Canada, in addition to the typical tart herbaciousness, this seafaring spin on the staple is sure to please. Recommended brands: •The Newfoundland Distillery Co. seaweed gin & cloudberry bitters •Barrelling Tide cherry liqueur •Ironworks Distillery haskap liqueur

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.

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake well. Open pour into a (1989 Irving Oil “Grey Whale” commemorative) highball glass filled 3/4 of the way with cracked ice. Top with soda and stir gently. Garnish with a lemon wedge speared all the way through with an inside-out blue cocktail umbrella (like a blowhole lol). Serve with a straw.

Editor's Note

Seaweed gin and haskap liqueur bring Atlantic Canadian terroir to this refreshing, highball-style riff. A playful, thematic garnish completes the seafaring experience.
