Every night’s a cocktail night if you try hard enough and believe in yourself. We at Curiocity are here to empower you to live your best, booziest life, so keep reading for the top 8 Calgary libations that you just have to try.
Butter Lovers at Untitled
This one’s not for the faint of heart. With cognac, rum, coconut, dill, vanilla, and popcorn butter foam– to go with your bowl of popcorn, of course– the Butter Lovers is definitely an adventure for the palate.
Chai Thai at Yakima
You ready for some straight bars, Calgary? Then listen up. The Chai Thai with Park Distillery Rye is absolutely to die (for). Okay, so we have some work to do but this cocktail has been crafted to perfection.
Last Night’s Creation at Shokunin
This one’s not officially on the menu, but if you can locate Shokunin’s resident witch behind the bar, she might just be able to whip it up for you. Get ready for a delicious mix of bourbon, Dassai 50, rose water and a touch of simple syrup with muddled corn shoots!
Dusty Rosa at Bridgette Bar
If you wanna transform your night from a basic winter outing into a blissful tropical getaway, Bridgette Bar is your spot. We strongly recommend their black salt-rimmed, rosy pink Mezcal libation with lime and agave!
NO REGRTS Kamikaze at GRETA
Any cocktail you can share with your squad is a good cocktail in our books. Hit GRETA for a spiced rum, Chambord, grapefruit, and tropical Red Bull concoction that will have you going all night.
Gold Flakes and Mistakes at Shelter
Shelter only communicates with Morse Code, so here goes: – …. .. … -.-. — -.-. -.- – .- .. .-.. .. … ..- -. .-. . .- .-.. . You know what’s not unreal though? Trying to decode everything on their Instagram. Good thing their Goldschläger, ginger and lime mix is worth it.
Guns Ablazin’ at Proof
With mellow Corn Whisky, Alvear Fino Sherry, cayenne, salt, lime, and agave, the Guns Ablazin’ is both refreshing and spicy (just like us!! Right??).
Yogurt ‘n’ Soju at Anju
So technically this is a DIY, but if you’re gonna do it you might as well do it at Anju. Order yourself a delish bottle of soju, get some yogurt to go with, and delight in the taste bomb that results.
That’s it that’s all! Now go drink! Responsibly!
