OH EM GEE – I Made a Cocktail (and it’s delicious)!

in Food & Drink on 06/05/17

This raspberry and mint whiskey cocktail recipe is quick, easy and delicious (even if you don’t typically drink whiskey)! Drinking Whisky may not be for everyone, but when it comes to creating cocktails like this one, the addition of whiskey just adds something special.

Raspberry and Mint Whiskey Cocktail Recipe with Collingwood Whiskey

Cheers to summer, sunshine and cocktails!

I love a good cocktail as much as the next person, but up until recently, I’ve never tried making one at home. Why? Well, it’s a heck of a lot easier (and less stressful) to open up a bottle of wine and pour it into a glass. I have recently become more adventurous and now actively venture out to make a drink that not only tastes great but looks amazing! I love the way you can add your own ingredients, measurements, and creativity to a cocktail and I also love to learn new skills. You can get a rsa certificate melbourne and in other areas, where you can become the most creative and skilled mixologist you could possibly be. It’s all about striving out and looking for new passions to excite and spice up your life.

PR package from Collingwood Whiskey

Even though I enjoy cooking, it wasn’t until recently that I felt inspired to experiment with cocktails. The inspiration came to me after I received a beautiful package from Collingwood Whiskey. Even though I was excited about the delivery, I don’t like drinking whiskey on its own.

If you don't like the taste of whiskey, try using it in a cocktail, like Canadian lifestyle blogger Jackie at Something About That did here

As the name implies, Collingwood Whiskey is made in Collingwood, Ontario at Canada’s longest continually owned and operated distillery. It’s distilled using glacial water from Georgian Bay and grains that are sourced from Canadian farms. The whiskey is aged in handmade white oak barrels.

After reading about Collingwood Whiskey, I wanted to like it, but for me, the flavour was too strong on its own. On the other hand, I knew it would be delicious in a cocktail! Cocktails are a good use for many a whisky gift set, so if you know someone who loves mixing themselves something fancy it would make a great fit.

I ended up developing a raspberry and mint cocktail recipe, because:
a) I knew raspberry would make the drink look pretty for photographs
b) Mint is a beautiful garnish

I’m aware that’s a lame backstory, but hey – the cocktail is delicious!

Raspberry and Mint Whiskey Cocktail Recipe:

* This recipe yields 2 cocktails *

  • Mix the ingredients into a shaker filled with ice
  • Pour into an ice-filled glass

Collingwood Whiskey is what I used in the base of a girly, simple cocktail recipe

2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all r 2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all remember. It’s been a big rollercoaster, but there’s no one else I’d rather ride it with than @woodley.matt 🥰

We’ve endured so.many.challenges this year...but we’ve also had some of the best and most exciting moments of our lives this year.

I still can’t believe we bought a house, got engaged AND got a puppy this year (all within a month)! 🤯

Nobody knows what 2021 will bring, but what we do know is, it will start the same way 2020 ended: at home.

I also know we will finally be finishing and moving into our new home in early 2021, and I CANNOT WAIT!! As for wedding plans...ehh, it’s a little tricky to plan these days, so we’ll cross that bridge a little later 😜 

Wishing you all a safe and happy new year at home! 🥳 (which I’m totally okay with - I’m a 👵🏻 anyways)

I picked up knitting needles for the first time in 10+ years (maybe more?!) at the start of the pandemic. I bought a DIY unicorn kit and it took me months before I got around to finishing it. Still, I enjoyed it. 

So, this year, I thought it would be fun to knit up a few gifts for Christmas presents. 

My next project? I’m going to attempt to knit myself a cardigan. 🤭😲🤗

Christmas 2020 - like many things this year, not “normal,” but we made plenty of memories. 

We had a low-key Christmas morning, filled with Bailey’s coffee, Miller snuggles (and weird facial expressions) and cinnamon buns. We finished off the day with a Jewish Christmas dinner: Chinese take out!

I’m finishing up the last of the gifting projects and then it’s onto baking cookies! 💁🏼‍♀️

I *think* I know what I’ll be baking...but I’m having a tough time committing 🤪

Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁 Even though it hasn Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁

Even though it hasn’t been a “normal” Thanksgiving weekend, there is so much to be thankful for. 

One (very) small thing I’m thankful for is that I took Matt’s advice on forgoing my usual butter-only pie crust recipe for one that includes shortening. I used the pumpkin pie recipe from @sallysbakeblog - including the mix of shortening and butter in the crust. I think it was my best pumpkin pie yet! 
(The Turkey was fantastic too of course 😏)
