Trav's Chocolate Bitters
$16.19
From the Producer;
Made in Cochrane, Alberta.
"Rich, dark, and complex. This isn't just "chocolate water"—it’s a deep, unsweetened infusion made with real cacao nibs for a true-to-bean flavor.
Why It’s Better
Most chocolate bitters hide behind vanilla and sugar. I lead with raw, bittersweet cacao nibs, extracting the pure, nutty essence of chocolate without the sweetness. It adds a "velvety" texture and a dry, sophisticated finish. This isn't a cheap product to produce - I use over 30lbs of cacao nibs in a 100L batch.
The Real Ingredient Difference
By using real cacao nibs rather than extracts, I capture the natural oils and complex tannins of the bean. This results in a bitter that stands up to bold ryes and smoky bourbons instead of getting lost in the glass.
Perfect For:
Chocolate Old Fashioned: I actually love this. The cacao blends really well with aged spirits.
Espresso Martinis: Bridges the gap between coffee and spirit.
Dessert Topping: Try a few dashes over premium vanilla ice cream.

Smirnoff Vodka
$28.79
The original Smirnoff Vodka distillery -- a favourite of the Tsars -- was started by one Pyotr Smirnov in Moscow in the 1860s. However, this mega-brand is far gone from the days of producing vodka in Russia. The brand is part of Diageo's massive alcohol portfolio and is made in numerous distilleries owned by the company. As of 2010, countries that have Diageo-operated distilleries that produce Smirnoff Vodka include Argentina, Albania, Brazil, Canada, Honduras, India, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Mongolia, the Philippines, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Smirnoff Vodka is purportedly made entirely from corn, which makes it gluten free..
Grey Goose Vodka
$52.19
Grey Goose is a premium vodka made from French wheat in the Cognac region of France. Interestingly, the brand was only conceived in 1997 for import into the American market. Its French origin, it was believed, would convince consumers that it was a premium brand. In 2004, it was sold by its creator, leaving him with an astounding $1.6 billion profit. It has gone on to be recognised as one the best premium vodkas in the world.
Pimms No. 1 Cup Gin
$29.69
The Pimm's tradition is almost as entrenched in British culture as the cup of tea. Pimm's was invented in the 1840s, by the owner of an oyster bar in the City of London. James Pimm offered the tonic (which was a gin based drink containing quinine and a secret mixture of herbs) as an aid to digestion, and served it in a small tankard. This is where the "No. 1 Cup" moniker arose. A traditional Pimm's cocktail includes one slice of cucumber, a sprig of mint and two parts of ginger ale to one part Pimm's. A favourite at KWM!
Citadelle Gin Jardin D Ete
$35.09
Citadelle Gin is made by Maison Ferrand, which is known for Ferrand Cognac, Plantation/Planteray Rum, Cry Curacao, and a variety of fruit liqueurs. Ferrand's Citadelle Gin Jardin D'Ete puts the focus on the citrus side of things: specifically Lemon and Yuzu. Bottled at 41.5%.
Producer Description
"Inspired by the garden at the Château de Bonbonnet, a little nature preserve where flowers, fruit and herbs flourish, this twist on our signature gin takes you on a delightful olfactory and gustatory ramble. You’ll encounter accents of Charentais melon, whole lemons and yuzu and orange zest. What could be more perfect for a refreshing gin & tonic?"
