Cucumber Mint Martini by Jean-Georges
We were first introduced into the world of Jean-Geroges Vongerichten a number of years ago, when we stopped in at the Market Restaurant Bar in the Shangri-la Hotel Vancouver for a drink. The ginger margaritas we ordered transported us to a place that we had never been before. It may also have had something to do with the fact that we ordered a few. Followed by the shrimp salad, truffle pizza and a great bottle of wine, we became devoted fans.
Years later he continues to surprise us with his menu creations and amazing cocktails. Jean-Georges is noted as being one of the most prolific chef-restaurateurs in existence. Our latest find from his website, the Cucumber Mint Martini is a favourite and is sure to be a hit on the patio this summer. The cocktail uses Hendricks Gin which is infused with cucumber and rose, and is also wonderful on its own topped with tonic water and a few cucumber slices. Enjoy!
CUCUMBER MINT MARTINI
2 ½ oz Hendricks Gin
¾ oz lemon Juice
¾ oz Simple Syrup
4 Mint Leaves
3 Slices of Cucumber
In a mixing glass, Muddle the mint and slices of cucumber with Lemon Juice and Simple Syrup then add ice and Gin. Cover and Shake. Strain contents into a chilled Martini Glass. Add one ice cube and cucumber stick for garnish.
Gold, Silver and Black
In the world of interior design, decorating with metallics over the past few years has been extremely popular, with gold and silver rising above all. Incorporating metallics into your home decor often adds that little sparkle that you have been missing. No longer does one have to choose between the two, as mixing the metals is not only on trend, it is encouraged. We find that adding black to the mix not only creates some contrast, but can also add a touch of drama and sophistication to the space.

New Ceramic Artist – Kathleen Tennock
We are pleased to be carrying the beautiful work of local ceramic artist Kathleen Tennock. Her Naked Raku clay pieces have an almost stone-like quality and invite touch as much as being visually pleasing.
Sakura Season is Here
We were surprised to learn that the majority of cherry trees found here in Vancouver were donated to the Vancouver Park Board from Japan. The first trees arrived in the early 1930’s followed by 300 additional trees in 1958. It’s photographs like the one we took in Gastown today that remind us of the years we spent living in Tokyo.
Purebread – New Bakery in Gastown
What an amazing selection of goodies! We tried the Lavender and Earl Grey as well as the Buckwheat and Sour Cherry Scone. Both put a smile on our faces. Rave reviews from everyone who we’ve introduced to this wonderful addition to the neighbourhood.
