A big thanks to Lauren Mote and Chef Johnathan Chovancek of
Kale & Nori for hosting the second
"Bitter Sling Bistro" event at
Legacy Liquor Store. Featuring
Cascade's (and soon to be
The Union's) own Arthur Wynne, the bartending challenge last night was to create cocktails using
Maker's Mark bourbon to pair with the evening's food.
The drinks Arthur prepared started with a cocktail of Makers Mark, fig gastrique, roasted yam puree and prosecco; followed for the main course with: Makers Mark, chamomile simple syrup, thai basil leaves, cilantro, lime and soda water; and finishing off for dessert with Makers Mark, okanagan apple compote with cracked long pepper, apple juice, cigar infused cream, flame spritzed with ceylon cinnamon infused rum.
So, we may be a little biased, but we think Arthur did a brilliant job!
Bitter Sling Bistro is a twice monthly event. Check out their
site for info about upcoming events.
So, after a month of World Cup Football, we're down to 2 remaining teams fighting it out for all the glory. Will it be the "Reign of Spain" or will Oranje be taking the cup back to Dam Square?
The word is spreading about Cascade's shots, concocted by our very own Nick Devine.
As a follow-up to our tremendously successful "bobsled shots" for the Winter Olympics, the Cascade Room is excited to introduce the "sub bench shots" for this summer's FIFA World Cup. The "sub benches" hold four shots, inspired by 16 of the 32 competing nations and come complete with a trivia card for each country. Drink Up!!
The sport of bob sledding takes on a whole new meaning at The Cascade Room throughout the Olympics with barman Nick Devine having created an array of shots which sit nicely together on our 'homemade' sleds.
