DRINK OF THE MONTH

Woodside Bar

With its soft light and modern Nordic touches, the Woodside Bar has become a place to see and be seen since it opened its doors last year. There’s a lot of nostalgia built in to its location in an urban market, ensconced by windows that expand to a bustling street corner, and their tempting menu of cocktails that evoke eras gone by. We were thrilled to stop in on a late sunny afternoon for a drink they made exclusively for the month of May. Their cleverness shows in the name and in the incarnation of Spring’s Revenge, which takes muddled basil as its base, adding notes of pineapple and lemon, along with the pungent and herbal charms of chartreuse, and a tease of Forty Creek whisky for sweet notes of apricots and vanilla. Spring may be vengeful, but we’re steely northerners, and this drink is a delight to behold.
