As the summer sun dries out Vancouver's otherwise damp patio furniture, we turned to our team to brighten up our happy hour. Anna Heyd, Flax Home's co-founder and Chief Creative Officer, is a veritable vault of craft cocktails and wine knowledge gleaned from years of rubbing elbows with the west coast's hospitality elite. She recommends a classic with a floral flourish.
"This recipe was passed along to me by a friend who worked at the Hawksworth Bar in the Rosewood Hotel Georgia. The first time I served it was at my first ever indigo dying workshop, and it was a hit."
