Whiskey cocktails are my jam. Whenever I go out for drink or dinner, my friends see a whiskey cocktail on the menu and know that that’s what I’ll order. What can I say, I can be predictable.
Here’s a cocktail I’ll be making at home (using my personalized bottle of J.P. Wiser’s Hopped Whiskey, ’cause I’m fancy; you can check it out on my Instagram):
Hopped “Root” Beer
1 oz. J.P. Wiser’s Hopped Whiskey
4 oz. Root Beer
Add ingredients to a rocks glass fileld with ice.
(To make a Hopped “Ginger” Beer, just substitute 4 oz. of ginger beer for the root beer!)
Given that it’s holiday season, I hope you’re celebrating safely. If you’re drinking on New Year’s Eve (I know I’ll be!), opt for the TTC, it’s free! For the third year, Corby Wine and Spirits is partnering with the TTC to offer complimentary service on New Year’s Eve. On top of that one lucky person will receive free TTC passes for a year. If you want a chance to win that sweet prize, just visit corby.ca/pledge and join in on celebrating responsibly this season.
Cheers!

Last night, I was lucky to take one of my friends to the Rogers Cup in Toronto to watch the Bouchard vs Bencic match thanks to Bacardi Canada. It was awesome to watch these strong female athletes play (I’d already caught a bit of Serena Williams in the afternoon when I was at Rogers Cup with CND Canada and Revlon Canada Pro getting my hair and nails Rogers Cup-ready!) and I’m excited to try my very first tennis lesson ever this weekend.
Courtside, we got to enjoy some of the delicious cocktails Bacardi is serving up at the Rogers Cup. I couldn’t find where their mojitos were being served, so I settled for the Bacardi Cuba Libre, which wasn’t settling at all because it was refreshing and delicious (and is served in this chic metal cup that made people stop me to ask what I was drinking, true story). Definitely have one if you’re going to the Rogers Cup, or get into the game and quench your thirst from home by mixing up one yourself, here’s the recipe!
Bacardí Cuba Libre
Ingredients:
1oz BACARDÍ Gold rum
2oz cola (bottled)
2 lime wedges
Method:
To build this legendary cocktail, fill a highball glass with ice. Then squeeze 2 lime wedges over the ice and drop them into the glass. Pour in the BACARDÍ Gold rum, followed by chilled cola, and give it all a gentle stir.
Cheers!

“That D’Ussé is the s*&%, if I do say so myself.”
I’d have to agree, Jay.
Recognize that line from Jay Z from Beyonce’s song “Drunk in Love”? Well, D’Ussé is Jay’s brand of cognac — and I lucked out by getting to try some of the D’Usse cocktails created for the On the Run Tour at the concert a couple of weeks ago.
And with the long weekend here (Monday’s a holiday here in Ontario, woot!), cheers to the freakin’ weekend! To help you get your weekend kicked off right, here are two of the cocktail recipes (Deuces is my favourite!).
The Code (pictured above)
- 1 1/2 parts D’Ussé Cognac
- 1 part Disaronno Original Liqueur
- 2 parts pineapple juice
- dash of angostura bitters
Shake and strain over ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with a lime wedge.
Deuces
- 1 1/2 oz D’Ussé Cognac
- 2.5 oz Simply Lemonade
- 1/2 oz ginger ale
- splash of grenadine
Shake and strain over ice in a rocks glass.
