Food & Wine | It’s not just Julio anymore… DISARONNO wears VERSACE too

As I’m sure most of you have noticed, the world of food and alcohol has been undergoing some major changes over the last few years. Brands have become more bold and cognizant of the needs of their consumers. Evolution & collaborations are becoming more common in an attempt to show another side of the brand and the lifestyle that they represent (see examples of this here & here). No collaboration has me more excited then that of the newly launched DISARONNO wears VERSACE now available in stores. Fashionistas and foodies unite for this limited edition bottle which combines both the beauty of DISARONNO with the iconic VERSACE brand. So it won’t just be Julio wearing this designer name anymore as we all indulge fashionable #DISARONNOwearsVersace world.

Toronto | Shangri-La Hotel Toronto X Luca Cinalli of Nightjar London create the best cocktails in Toronto

With the autumn well under way and beauty all around us, I am left switching my mentality to more indoor activities and entertainment. I love to spend as much time outdoors exploring the city I love, and I would always recommend you do the same. As the colder weather begins to creep over Canadian cities from coast to coast, I am of course drawn to the idea of getting on a plane with Julio and going away. I got to thinking where in the world I would take him and the answer became evident. London is my favourite city in the world and I have seen the globe twice over. From the culture to the class found in every corner.. It’s hard to explain but it just feels like the city I am supposed to end up in.

So when Shangri-La Hotel Toronto contacted me to speak of a visit from award winning mixologist Luca Cinalli of The Nighthjar in London, I was intrigued to say the least. His visit coincides with the launch of a brand new cocktail list at one of my favourite places to escape the cold in Toronto. Be it for a stay in the hotel or a delicious meal at bosk, the fact remains that the following four cocktails are the best in Toronto. THAT is a bold statement, but once you read about them and Luca’s masterful art, I have no doubt you’ll be heading to Shangri-La Hotel Toronto to try them all for yourself. Don’t forget to drink responsibly, but I do guess that some young adults may want to join in on the fun and some of the best fake ID sites out there will be inundated with requests!

Food & Wine | Hennessy VS x Shepard Fairey Limited Edition

I have said it before, and I will say it again. Like most of you, I am a sucker for anything limited edition. I could attribute it to being a Libra, or perhaps being Type A.

For any of those reasons and so many more, I was beyond excited when I heard about a new limited edition item that has JUST launched in Canada. Come & see why the new Hennessy VS x Shepard Fairey is a must for your home and some behind the scenes on the collaboration of two iconic brands.
