Holiday Flying Canuck Cocktail

It’s cocktail season and we’re serving a Canadian twist on a traditional holiday cocktail. The Holiday Flying Canuck Cocktail is inspired by the Flying Dutchman. The Canuck version has an extra premium taste and presentation with the addition of herb-infused Whistler Water ice cubes and a base of Whistler Glacial Water.
