cocktail | The Nimble Bar Co.
Every year, over one million show-goers converge on Calgary for the Calgary Stampede. Music, rodeos, rides, food, culture, family, and fun. Basically an amazing week of western fun. And what would a visit to such an amazing event be without… a custom cocktail???
Don't forget the jerky! None of that pre-packaged stuff, neither. Go visit your local butcher or jerky-makin' establishment and buy yourself something nice; treat yourself. No preservatives. It's jerky! It's made to last.
Shake over crushed ice, strain into a chilled glass. Garnish with lemon rind wrapped around jerky.

Starting JoieFarm way back in 2003, JoieFarm began as a cooking school and gastronomic guesthouse. As a poor cook and a waiter, we had a dream, but we didn't have any money.
So we spent our only cash repainting the farmhouse bright red. We needed to make it legit. Then we ran gastronomic weekends, wine classes, and eventually rented space in a nearby vineyard. Between the two of us, we had about 200 clients for our wine from our past experiences. We sold our initial inventory in two weeks.
Our first run of rosé sold so quickly, we decided to make 1,200 cases. Our neighbors thought we were insane. We also started making our noble blend. Back then, Vancouver was in a small plate revolution. Based on our understanding of Northwest cuisine, we blended our wine to match. I love my job.
I love the change of seasons, and I love the fact that I work outside every day.

This idyllic neighborhood on Vancouver's West Side provides a haven for all things natural, organic, and granola. Yoga, Lululemon, and Teslas abound. Our custom-made Kitsilano cocktail pays homage to the neighborhood's hippie vibe.
First, make sure to source your ingredients using human power. Don't you dare drive to the store. Walk, run, or bike, only, please. Second, only purchase the freshest, most organically organic ingredients possible. Third, mix your drink in the rays of the sun on a peaceful green.
Shake over ice, serve neat. Garnish with cucumber and celery leaf.
At JoieFarm Winery in Naramata, BC, JJ Skidmore treats the Nimble team to a tasting. JJ and the JoieFarm crew love rosé, and their passion results in amazing wines. The Joie rosé is a beautiful summer wine.
JJ and his colleagues love wine, and we love cocktails. So we created something special for them: the Joie de Vivre cocktail.
The Joie rosé contains awesome strawberry notes and epitomizes the perfect summer wine. We decided to compliment the rosé in our custom cocktail with Hendrick's Gin. The gin uses cucumber and rose distillate, which should pair perfectly with the wine.
We're also using cucumber, lemon, a rhubarb syrup (freeze chopped rhubarb, thaw it in the fridge, and then soak in a simple syrup overnight), and hand-juiced lemons.
Shake over ice, serve on the rocks. Garnish with a cucumber ribbon.
