Hope you enjoy reading through this list as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
The series kicks off with aptly named Locals Only Cocktail #1, a blend of Sheringham Gin from Vancouver Island, Naramaro from Legends Distilling of Penticton, a dash of Ms. Better’s grapefruit bitters from Vancouver, a drop of local honey and topped with Unsworth Vineyards sparkling wine from Vancouver Island.
