With Toronto Cocktail Festival starting this Sunday, we’ve been reflecting on our city’s hospitality community and the constellation of cocktail lovers and bartenders that we have been lucky to know. One such person is Knox Wong, a former Grey Tiger bartender whom many of you may remember from a few years back. Our current fall transition menu features a drink created by Knox—a rich and velvety number perfect for these crisp autumnal evenings.
GATEWAY SHUFFLE
japanese wh**ky, rye, maraschino, sherried date, spiced plum bitters
Knox is now at Bar Banane, one of the many wonderful bars participating in Toronto Cocktail Festival. Check out the full festival details through The Alchemist | Canada’s Spirit & Cocktail Culture Magazine’s link in bio. We will be sharing the details of our festival programming here soon. Save the dates (Oct 18–25) and stay tuned! 🥃
