Montis Distilling makes two gins, offering a pair of options for the drink. The Alpine Gin, made with botanicals foraged from around Whistler, imparts forest-like character with emphasis on juniper and conifer notes, while the Alpenglow Gin’s citrus focus brings floral, botanical vibes.
Topped off with B.C. sparkling, the Sea to Sky 75 hints at the new opportunities, fresh starts and sunny days soon on their way.
Sea to Sky 75
- 1 ounce Montis Gin (either Alpine or Alpenglow)
- ¾ ounce Frost Bites Syrup Co. Rhubarb Strawberry Cordial
- 5 centimetres rhubarb, chopped into 6 to 8 small pieces, plus a long, thin ribbon for garnish
- 3 ounces Blue Mountain Brut Rosé
In a cocktail shaker, combine gin, cordial and chopped rhubarb with ice. Shake until well chilled and then strain contents into a tall flute. Fill the glass the rest of the way with sparkling wine and garnish with ribbon of rhubarb.
