May Long Weekend upon us!

Let's celebrate with a cocktail...or 3.


The May Day is one of the cocktails on Metro Marche's Bond Cocktails menu for the release ofCasino Royale. This one is an interesting blend of fresh fruit flavors with a rum and apple juice base. This recipe makes two highball drinks.

Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe peaches, pitted and roughly chopped
  • 1 part rum
  • 4 strawberries, cubed
  • flesh and seeds of 2 passion fruit
  • 4 oz cloudy apple juice
  • 1 Tbsp superfine sugar
  • 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • crushed ice
  • apple fans for garnish

Preparation:

  1. Blend all the ingredients together with crushed ice.
  2. Pour the mix equally into two highball glasses.
  3. Garnish with an apple fan.
Victoria Day is a Canadian statutory holiday celebrated on the Monday on or before May 24th in honour of both Queen Victoria's birthday and the current reigning Canadian sovereign's birthday.


Another reason to get your drink on...We usually camp but I think Las Vegas is in order for this coming May adventure. It's about time Steve experiences the lights, drinks and strip action....

Dark and Stormy
Deliciously spicy ginger beer is mixed with rich, dark rum and accented with a zippy wedge of lime. Even if you're just enjoying a sunny moment on your fire escape, Bermuda's national drink is the perfect thing to put you in an island mood. (Full recipehere.)
Pimm's Cup
This very British, very refreshing drink brings to mind Wimbledon, cricket matches, and sailing regattas. The delicately spicy liquor, Pimm's No. 1 is mixed with ginger ale or lemonade, and garnished with fresh herbs and fruit. Nothing like it after a day of gardening. (Full recipe here.)
Gin and Tonic
We featured this summer classic just last week - and it's well worth mentioning again. Cool, zesty, and crisp, the Gin and Tonic is one of the most perennially popular patio drinks. (More on G & Ts here.)
