Astronaut
Astronaut
Space has long captured our imagination and has been a driving force in bringing the world together. That combination has helped lead to the International Space Station and its first Canadian commander, astronaut Chris Hadfield. In honour of the spirit of collaboration, this week’s feature is a mix of Canadian prairie wheat vodka, sugar cane rum, zesty lemon, and sweet passion fruit. So shake up this cocktail, lie back and relax staring at the stars.
Ingredients
½ oz Banff Ice Vodka
½ oz white rum
½ oz lemon juice
dash of passion fruit juice
Garnish with a lemon wedge
Method
Pour all ingredients into a shaker glass and shake well. Strain in a small glass with new ice. Place lemon wedge garnish.

Famous Fizz
Famous Fizz
Stimulate your senses and prepare to be impressed. The Famous Fizz cocktail is a wonderful mix of Famous Grouse blended scotch whisky, which gives a smooth smoked oak flavour, sweet honey, citrus lemon juice, a dash of aromatic bitters and a splash of carbonation. The combination will tickle the nose and tastebuds. Enjoy!
Ingredients
1oz Famous Grouse blended scotch whisky
1/2 oz honey syrup
1/4 oz lemon juice
2 dashes of Angostura bitters
1oz soda
Lemon twist for garnish
Method
Put ice into a cocktail glass and set aside to chill. Pour in all ingredients except the soda into a shaker. Shake vigorously. Empty the ice out of the now chilled cocktail glass. Strain shaken ingredients into the glass and add a splash of soda for some fizz.
Garnish with lemon twist.
Tips
Honey syrup is made by combining equal parts of honey and boiling water, then letting the mixture cool. Doing this allows the honey to mix into drinks easier.
If you haven’t prepared the honey syrup ahead of time, add 1 tsp of liquid honey into the shaken ingredients and stir well before shaking again to ensure the honey is completely mixed.
If you prefer an even more smokey taste, use Black Grouse instead of Famous Grouse.
The Black Grouse uses smoked peat in the production process and imparts a rich smoked flavour and aroma to the spirit.
