The Barrel-Aged Vancouver Cocktail

Last October we got together with friends and tried our very first barrel-aged cocktail, the Negroni. It was a total hit. For our next attempt we tried to barrel-age the Vancouver cocktail. If you haven't had the pleasure of trying the Vancouver cocktail, you must (especially if you visit or live here). I made labels inspired by the one and only rain-city we call home, Vancouver. If you can't wait the seven weeks for it to age, here is the recipe to try at home pronto: 

1.5 Oz Bombay Sapphire Gin
3/4 Oz Punt Mes
1/4 Oz Benedictine Liqueur
2 Dashes Orange Bitters

Stir over ice and strain. Garnish with an orange peel.

You're welcome.

Cheers,
Charysse
