Since reopening their doors in June after a forced 10-week hiatus due to provincial lockdown measures, Vancouver’s Straight and Marrow have been showcasing a newly revamped cocktail lineup to compliment chef Chris Lam’s latest seasonal creations.
Designed by bar manager Chad Rivard, Straight and Marrow’s new list of libations offers a selection of playfully sophisticated spirits-based beverages that pair perfectly with a variety of summertime dishes.
This Perfect Storm cocktail is made using Flor de Cana 12 Rum–a house made ginger syrup and Ms. Better's lime leaf bitters–which makes for a refreshing drink that is a great addition to any home bartender's repertoire.
