The staff at Global Collection are always coming up with special and unique new cocktails. Chris Ballas of Vancouver’s Coast Restaurant came up with Requiem for Summer. Here’s a slightly modified version of his original cocktail. It features a late-harvest wine from the Okanagan’s award-winning Quails Gate Winery.

• 1.5 oz Vodka
• ½ oz 2009 Quails Gate Optima
• ½ oz Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
• ½ Fig
• Dash of Bitters
• Dash of Simple Syrup

Muddle fruit with lemon juice. Add liquid ingredients. Shake well. Strain over crushed ice into a rock glass rimmed with vanilla sugar (optional).

Like it’s right from the pumpkin patch and into a martini glass. Created by Ken Konkle from Glowbal Collection’s Coast Restaurant, the Pumpkin Pie martini will whisk you to the taste of the autumn harvest any time.

• 1.5 oz Belvedere Vodka
• ½ oz Cognac
• ½ oz Pumpkin Pie Puree
• 2 oz Apple Juice

Fill a martini shaker half full of ice. Pour in all ingredients. Shake until the martini shaker begins to frost. Pour into a chilled martini glass.

Pumpkin Pie Puree

• ½ cup water
• ½ cup demerara sugar
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 2 whole cloves
• ¼ tsp ground ginger
• ½ tsp ground nutmeg
