Both drinks are made with just a few common bar ingredients, that you might already have on hand. And they look festive and taste delicious. It’s a win win. Cheers!

Visiting Lake Louise in the Fall
Are you planning a trip to Lake Louise and wondering what time of year you should go? Most people will tell you that summer is ideal, and it certainly can be. But I want you to consider another option…Fall. There are some good reasons for visiting in the autumn months that can make for a really great experience. Smaller crowds and a completely different view of the Lake are two big ones. I finally got the opportunity to return to beautiful Lake Louise. It was long overdue. My last visit was over 20 years ago, and as you can imagine, a lot can change in that span of time. In…

10 Traditional Foods to try when visiting Morocco
Morocco is a culturally rich and vibrant country, and not surprisingly, their food is a reflection of that. Traditional dishes were influenced by several cultures and their cuisines, such as Arabic, Berber, Andalusian and Mediterranean. The great thing about this is that you, the visitor, will be treated to a delicious and unique fusion of flavours. Spices and herbs are used freely to give dishes very distinct tastes. And, the slow cooking method that is very prevalent here, using the tagine, helps to create some very delicious dishes. I know from my own travel experiences with friends and family, that it’s not always easy to be open to new foods.…
