Food & Wine | Mortlach Malt Whisky is a welcome addition to Canada

For those of you who follow Julio & I on social media (@Fashionights & @DoTheDaniel on both Twitter and Instagram), you would remember that we recently attended an LCBO Vintages scotch tasting.

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!
