The holiday season is synonymous with general merriment and, with that, often some tasty cocktails at home for family and friends. One of our favourite shops to go to in Calgary when we're in need of a little cocktail inspiration is Vine Arts. Owner Jesse Willis and his staff are always on-hand to recommend things like an interesting new micro-distilled spirit that has just arrived or handle questions like, "My friends are cocktail snobs. What's a simple drink I can make at home that will impress them?"

Thus, we are all over this customized cocktail-in-a-box idea the shop has launched for the holidays. 

 

We are super excited to launch our “Cocktail in a Box” series just in time for the holidays! We’ll have 3 different options to choose from - the Old Fashioned, Martinez and the Negroni. Each contains the goods needed to make that classic cocktail along with a recipe, all wrapped up and ready to go! Available shortly. Hit us up by phone or email for details.
