Sips of the West is less than a week away! On Sunday, April 28, The Lobby Lounge at Fairmont Pacific Rim is set to welcome three acclaimed bars from the Pacific Northwest for a one-of-a-kind bar takeover. In anticipation for the event, each bar has generously shared its recipes for any home bartender to craft.

The ‘Night Dancer’ cocktail is made by the bar team at The Raven Room, a restaurant and bar based in Whistler Village, owned and operated by four locals who use traditional techniques to create inventive cocktails.

NIGHT DANCER

Ingredients:

• 1.5 ounce Chamomile-infused Rabbit Hole Cavehill
• 0.5 ounce Yellow Chartreuse

• Beetroot powder (for garnish)

Instructions:

To make the Passionfruit Firewater Cordial:

• Add 20% of the weight of passionfruit purée in sugar.
