On Thursday I joined the fabulous Rannie Turingan and b5media’s own Accordian Guy, Joey DeVilla for a night of beer tasting, photos and laughter at The Air Canada Centre. Hosted by Molson and organized by the lovely Meghan Warby, I didn’t anticipate the night that started at a little before 6 to go so late…but […]
I noticed infused vodka sitting on the bar when I was at Mortons, and after that, I caught notice of it a few other places as well. Enough places as I’m looking at the drink menu at the Seattle restaurant I’m meeting Gary Vaynerchuk at, I noticed immediately that they use House Infused orange vodka. […]
If you had an hour to sit and talk with Gary Vee, what would you ask him?
I’m moments away from crashing so that I can get up early and head down to Seattle to have my hour of face to face with Vaynerchuk himself. I’m looking forward to it, and working on coming up with […]
What’s the best part of summer? Well, in Toronto a big perk is when the patios open up, pitchers of beer start appearing and everyone is laughing and having a great time…outside. That’s right - it’s time to gather up your friends, all chip in for the mega size pitcher and have some laughs. Some […]
I’ve only seen Caipirinhas (pronounced Kai-Pur-Een-Ya) on restaurant menus, but had never tried them before. When I was offered a bottle of Leblon Cachaça (Ka-Sha-Sa) to try, I said “sure!” and then turned to my best friend, Google, and asked her what the hell cachaça was. Turns out, it’s a Brazilian rum-based spirit used […]
Oh, the Shirley Temple. It’s a classic drink for the under 12 set…but what do you do when you’re old enough to have a cosmopolitan instead but still have a hankering for a maraschino cherry?
You improvise.
Well, maybe not quite “improvise”, since there are already some established recipes out there for you to try. And […]
One of the funniest comedians in the world, George Carlin, passed away yesterday evening of heart failure. I mention this because Carlin is the one who coined the ever popular, and very true:
“One tequila, Two tequila, Three Tequila, floor.”
Rest In Peace, my good man. Your contribution to comedy will never be forgotten, and every […]
The summer solstice always reminds me of Finland. I got an opportunity to go above the Arctic Circle and experience a full day when the sun did not set. I watched it hit the horizon and almost … bounce. It visibly rose again. Three am felt like 3 pm. And it stays this way […]
These are probably one of the tastiest, most dangerous drinks in the world. Introduced to me by fellow b5media’er, Tris Hussey, (he learned it from a friend named Linzy), I’ve now taught two different bars this drink.
People shudder when I describe it to them, imagining something that’s just too over the top, and yet, once […]
I’ve spent the last couple of days playing around with Snooth, a collaborative recommendation engine for wine lovers. Well, founder Philip James calls is an “online wine retail website” in this Guardian blog…but I’m not sure I that really describes what they’re doing right now (maybe more what they’ll accomplish in the future?) Regardless, […]
