Our most delicious cocktails to help you ring in the New Year

Rosy Holiday Gin & Tonic

Rose water is distilled from the flower's petals. Though it has been used for centuries in Middle Eastern, Indian and Chinese cuisines, rose water is relatively new to the average Canadian bartender.

Clementine Moscow Mule

While we love eating sweet clementines straight out of hand, the juice is so delectable that it begs to be used for something special—like a cocktail! Buck tradition and lace a classic Moscow mule with bright, fresh notes of the fruit's nectar. Bonus: Brush the leftover clove syrup on our Gingerbread Cake.

Smoky Spiced Coffee

This twist on an Irish coffee makes the classic warm cocktail extra enticing. In place of traditional Irish whiskey, we've used smoky mezcal, but if you can't find the agave-based liquor, peated Scotch whisky gives the same effect.

The Double Double

Ask any Canadian what a double double is and you'll get a description of a sweet, creamy coffee that Canucks "always have time for." Although the double double—coffee with two creams and two sugars—isn't technically on the Tim Hortons menu, it's become synonymous with the brand. We couldn't resist making a nighttime counterpart to the popular coffee order. We initially envisioned an equal-parts drink—two shots whisky and two shots Kahlúa—but we realized it's just not a double double without all that creamy goodness, so we incorporated whisky cream liqueur.

Sage Pastis Spritz

This sophisticated, effervescent cocktail is tailor made for serving with seafood. Pastis is an anise-flavoured liqueur with herbaceous undertones. Originating from France, it’s typically diluted with water and served as an aperitif, but it’s also delightfully crisp when paired with fresh sage, tangy citrus and a splash of bubbly.
