Do you know what we love? Drinks with a local connection. Drinks with a great name. Drinks with captivating looks. Drinks that taste dynamite. Our cool pals at Bight have always entertained us with first-rate cocktails and their latest, the Amethyst Mine, is unlike anything we’ve tried so far—and we’ve tried a lot!

This tempting violet vixen pays homage to the official gemstone of Ontario and the fact that Thunder Bay is so well situated in the heart of amethyst country that we have a mine. Imagine that. Also imagine a gin-forward drink of Empress 1908 Gin with sharp notes of juniper, citrus, and butterfly pea blossoms that lend it its intriguing colour. There’s also Lillet Blanc, St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur for floral flavours, simple syrup and lemon juice for brightness, and magic— it’s what turns the gin this lovely hue. Who knew? It’s glorious. A real gem, you could say. Available to stay or to go. GO!
