As the first week of Autumn comes to a close, many Canadians are sadly saying goodbye to summer and welcoming the cool fall weather. The leaves are turing brilliant yellow, orange and red, and the morning air is crisp. In just a few short months, winter will be upon us.

But Canadians fear not, for we are used to winter. But on a cold winters night, as the snow piles up outside, we are inside enjoying the crackling of a wood burning fireplace, telling stories of our adventures, and enjoying a few cocktails with our friends and family.

Ok, maybe it’s not quite like that. To get a true sense of Canadian spirit, here’s a martini that will keep you warm all winter long!
