My philosophy is that any yahoo with a credit card can buy a great bottle of wine when money's no object, so the excitement for me comes from finding a great value, and sharing it with you. After all, a terrific wine is made better when shared with friends. (Same with cocktails!)

Stirrings Cocktail Mixers & Rimmers


I found a great brand of cocktail mixers and rimmers called Stirrings, at the Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards a few weeks ago. I tried three of their flavours: Mango Margarita, Lemon Drop and Green Apple. My favourite was the green apple, which was dead simple to make - just add vodka and shake with ice. The Lemon Drop was nice and tart, and would work really well with gin if you're looking for a break from vodka.


Checking out their web site http://www.stirrings.com/ I saw they also offer floral and herbal essences, which look amazing. There's a lavender one that I'd really like to try. They have some creative recipes posted, too.


I saw some of these products available at Gourmet Warehouse on Hastings in Vancouver a few weeks ago, and expect you can find them in other specialty food stores.


Cheers!
