The Bleak House Side Car.
Dickens novel, Fogo’s merchant house, or pleasure at sunset? Camille says the latter.
(Plus Amaretto Sour, Lightfoot & Wolfville Sparkling Chenin Blanc, Oak Island Vineyard)

Who needs a QuipNap? This adorable red coaster is both slip-on and slip-proof. But though it beats a QuipNap in handiness, it lacks the humor, wink, wink! The creamy white Russian was mixed by a spectacular home-schooled bartender and Newfoundland native in Portugal Cove South. (The mini lemon meringue pie is a bonus!)

Everything’s Scottish on Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton. This tart(an) whiskey sour is courtesy of Johnny Walker Black in the practiced, eye-cracking hands of mixologizing-philosophizing Jade, the most excellent barkeep in Slainte!
(next pic is the Wedge salad, a piece of iceberg art—fitting)

Accompanying this off-the-hook chowder are some of Canada’s finest home-cultivated: Tidal Bay (Benjamin Bridge, Gaspereau, Nova Scotia) and Flora (Lightfoot & Wolfville, Wolfville, Nova Scotia). Slosh it down as the Bay of Fundy would! Shout-out to and Chef Renee and the extraordinary Jennifer
behind the bar.

Had we written a quip, it would’ve read something like, “This iceberg of feta came ashore at Halifax where it was dropped in a skillet and set aflame by Daryâ] resident pyromaniac (and talented mixologist) . . . a.k.a. Raz, the Radical Romanian Remixer.”
In the glass: Chateau Ksara ‘Blanc de L’Observaoire,’ Bekaa Valley, Lebanon. Shout-out to Raz’s compatriot, the meticulous manager/maitre’d Gabriel—he’s everywhere!

“What’s The Point?” would be the quip for this bad girl—Lunazul blanco, BV Land liqueur, rosemary syrup, lime, and that big, bad shish*to pepper—at Salt + Ash Beach House in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
