EVENT | Celebrating National Tequila Day at Milagro Cantina's patio in Queen West

On National Tequila Day, it's only natural that you head to a patio to soak up the sun with Tequila cocktails in hand, or if you had a real bad day at work, shots.  That's exactly what I did - went to the gorgeous patio party at Milagro Cantina on Queen West. 


 It was pretty much a Mexican fiesta when I arrived with my guest. I'm not surprised that Milagro decided to throw a party for National Tequila Day because they have a large selection of Tequila as well as a carefully thought out Tequila tasting menu.



The patio was bustling with festive music and  hungry/thirsty crowds of people and it wasn't long until we all had a delicious cocktail in hand. The space is pretty big and equipped with comfortably cushioned seats. Oh, can I just say that I loved the little decor of potted cactus on the tables!

 

The mixologist was definitely kept busy that day!

Who says tequila is only for those crazy black-out nights or national tequila day? There's always a reason to for a bit a tequila and to do so, head on over to Milagro Cantina.  You'll have a whole new appreciation for their tequila, mezcals and cocktails when you do.

Staying in? No worries, you can impress your friends and family by creating one of my favourite drinks of the night, the Santa Sabina, at the comfort of your own home.

REVIEW | Schnitzel Hub

If vodka, Biergarten or Eastern European food means anything to you then Schnitzel Hub is the place you want to be. The diversity of cuisines has expanded in the St. Clair and Yonge area with Schnitzel Hub's second location.  Unlike the Schnitzel Hub's first location in Vaughan, this new spot offers a full bar, many more seatings for groups as well as a private dining area.   For vodka lovers, you'll be surprised to see some artisan house-infused vodkas at Schnitzel Hub with crazy flavours like lemon & ginger, candy, smoked bacon and even honey & chili pepper! I suggest you sip these infused vodkas to really taste the flavours.  Personally, I enjoyed the lemon & ginger but many others were raving about the horseradish! Now, onto the food offerings. This restaurant prides itself on creating homemade, authentic meals from Eastern an Central Europe with a focus on schnitzels.  I must say the portions here are very generous so it's a great spot to go for din...

REVIEW | HoneyButter - Decadent Macarons and more...

Who doesn't love desserts? We certainly do and that's why we were so excited to try out HoneyButter's   macarons!    HoneyButter is a private dessert company founded by Grace who offers a wide variety of desserts including cheesecakes, tarts, cupcakes cookies and of course macarons.  Anyone who likes to bake will tell you that baking is essentially a science. Proportions have to be exact or else the result turns out to be one of those "baking fails" that everyone laughs about. However, not all baking is created equally...cookies and breads tend to be on the easier side and then there are the macarons...in their perfect little shells just taunting you to attempt conquering them. Having tried and failed numerous times at making macarons myself, it's nice to know I can contact HoneyButter  to order some and know that when they arrive they'll look nothing like my own personal baking fail. The list of flavours for macarons is almost never ending and for HoneyBu...

REVIEW | Brassaii - Brunch

Let's be honest. There's no shortage when it comes to brunch spots in the city - the only problem is... the lines, especially at places that do not take reservations. Brassaii is known more for nightlife - dinner, cocktails, bottle service and music but they actually have great brunch selections during the day. Plus, they take reservations! The entrance to the King West restaurant is very pretty with cobblestone and plants surrounding patio seatings. The interior is also very spacious. The kitchen is open and is at the back of the restaurant. We went on a Saturday afternoon and was surprised for the place to be so empty. Maybe most brunch diners visit during their famous "Le Brunch" on Sundays? Nonetheless, with all the space inside it seemed like a great place for big groups. We started with a mimosa and a cold-pressed juice. The good news is that the brunch menu is simple, which I prefer to a crowded menu; I got the chicken and waffles and my friend chose the Omele...
