Seasonal Sips

Cheerful Cocktails at YEW

This holiday season, guests can pull up a seat by the fire and enjoy festive cocktails in YEW’s lounge. The iconic Cog Nog served in a picture-perfect moose mug is making a comeback along with the sparkling Starry Night cocktail and warm winter favourites such as hot buttered rum and holiday gluvine. These seasonal sippers are available from November 15, 2019 until New Year’s Eve.

Starry Night – Sweet meets a surprising and warming new match – a herbaceous bitter when sparkling wine fizzles with Campari in this refreshing cocktail.

Gluvine – This house-made version of the German classic is full of those warm festive spices that we all crave this time of year.

YEW Hot Buttered Rum – Heat things up with YEW’s luxurious Hot Buttered Rum. We’re making spirits brighter with rum, buttered compound, angostura bitters, pimento honey syrup and a tasty gingerbread cookie.

Cog Nog – Our whimsical Cog Nog is a moose-have drink this season. Spiked with cognac, YEW’s house-made eggnog is served in a nostalgic moose mug to instantly amp up your holiday spirit.

Legendary Christmas Stollen Returns

For the final year, former Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver Chef Gerhard Weitzel will come out of retirement to bake his decades-old secret stollen recipe this holiday season. This famous German cake, rich with spices and flavours, makes a delicious and thoughtful holiday gift.

The recipe originated with former Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver chef, Gerhard Weitzel. In 2007, Gerhard retired, after 16 years of working for the hotel and a 50 year career dedicated to pastry. Since his retirement Gerhard has returned seasonally to create each loaf himself, much to the delight of guests and Vancouver locals. The white loaf is made of a yeast dough brimming with a mixture of nuts and fruits and a delicious marzipan filling. The holiday aroma and flavour of Gerhard’s stollen is set to accompany festive cheer throughout the city this season.

Stollen will be available for purchase at YEW seafood + bar for CAD 31 per loaf from November 26, 2019 until Christmas Day. Stollen lovers can also call 604.692.4939 to place orders of four or more.

Exquisitely Executed Gatherings

Whether guests are sharing the season with family, friends or colleagues, the YEW team would love to help plan and customise the perfect party or dinner event, while extending some delicious incentives. For groups of 10 or more, find private dining and group options here, or call 604 609 5480.
