Drink of the Week - The Cascade Room ‘Hemingway Daiquiri’

From Hawksworth Communications:

This week’s Drink of the Week is a ‘Hemingway Daiquiri’ that we tasted over at The Cascade Room on Main Street. Just a short walk from Broadway, the Cascade Room has become a hip and happening neighbourhood hub. The Cascade Room has an aggressive cocktail program led by Nick Devine who brings experience from San Francisco and London. We were certainly impressed with the cocktail list and decided on the 'Old School Classic' Hemingway Daiquiri, recommended by one of the servers. If you’re ever in the area we definitely recommend checking in at this spot!

The Hemingway Daiquiri is a heavy measure of Cuban white rum shaken with hand pressed lime, fresh ping grapefruit juice and a dash of maraschino liquer.

Movember Party This Sunday

Bittered Sling Bistro

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.

Movember at The Cascade Room

THIS WEDNESDAY: Broadskills Beer 'n' Bites

Broad Skills, a local start up in Vancouver which aims to teach practical skills and knowledge to women, is hosting their next class, titled “Beers and Bites” at The Cascade Room this Wednesday, October 19th 2011 at 6:30pm. Tickets are available at www.broadskills.ca

The class will be taught by Ian McKay from Driftwood Brewery and Leah Heneghan from Vancouver Craft Beer Week. In class, the processes of brewing and tasting various beers will be discussed, as well as sampling five of Driftwood’s beers. The Cascade Room will also be offering appetizer style food pairings based on the beers selected by Driftwood.

Broadskills classes are open to women only, with the intention to have local experts share knowledge and skills with women, in a fun and non-intimidating environment. This class on beer, as well as future Broad Skills classes, will focus on topics that are not frequently taught elsewhere.

For more information please contact: Miranda Liu at: info@broadskills.ca

About Broad Skills:
Like most of us, you’ve probably had a moment in your life where you’ve said, “I wish I knew how to ___”, or “I wish I knew more about ___”. We’ve started Broad Skills to help fill in those blanks, by creating a variety of ladies-only classes that will teach you practical skills you may not have had a chance to learn yet. Want to learn how to change a flat tire? How stocks and bonds work? Play poker?
