🍹Cocktail Recipe: Mezcalita 🍹

We recently shared one of our favourite Mezcals that we carry here at Bin 905, and a few asked for a simple cocktail to make using it! So today we are sharing a recipe for a Mezcalita! This easy cocktail recipe is made with orange juice, lime juice, and of course, mezcal! Perfect for a rainy Monday...😂

Here's what you need to make it:

- 1 ½ ounces of Mezcal
- 2 ounces of fresh orange juice
- 1 ounce of fresh lime juice
- 3 dashes of orange bitters
- lime wedges for garnish

Directions:
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the mezcal, orange juice, lime juice, and orange bitters. Shake for at least 20 seconds and pour all of the contents into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime wedge or a dried citrus wheel!

Derrumbes is a mezcal from the dessert produced exclusively from the extensive wild agave Salmiana Crassispina that grows naturally in the High Plateau of San Luis Potosi.

This floral and herbaceous mezcal from the village of Charcas has just the right touch of sweetness to balance its delicate intensity.

Perfect option if you like to sip mezcal neat, or a great addition to cocktails!

Shop this as well as our wide selection of tequila and mezcal in store now!

Not ready to let go of those summer cocktails? Neither are we…🍹🍹

Check out this Kiwi Mojito that is sure to chase those September blues away (recipe makes 2 cocktails).

To make it, add a few slices of kiwi to a cocktail shaker and muddle. Divide the muddled kiwi between two glasses and fill your cocktail glasses with ice (on top of the kiwi mixture). Next, add 1 ½ ounces of lime juice, 5 mint leaves and 2 oz of simple syrup into your cocktail shaker and muddle again. Then add in 2 oz of rum and shake. Divide between the two glasses and top with sparkling water.

Garnish with extra slices of kiwi and fresh mint!

Dave’s Pick: Love, Oregon. 2019 Pinot Noir

As the name states, what’s not to love about this Pinot? It's garnet in colour, soft tannins, and well balanced on the palate, with flavours of cherries, baking spices and floral notes.

The grapes are sustainably farmed, stored in neutral french oak barrels and never filtered. The wine is classified Vegan and Gluten-Free. Drinkable now!

Come by and say Hi to Dave and the rest of the friendly Bin 905 team! We look forward to seeing you soon!

We are finishing off this first series of saké varieties with this Tokubetsu Junmai Muroka Nama Genshu.

This one is known to “pack a punch” and let’s break down why…

Muroka＝Not (charcoal) filtered

Nama＝Unpasteurised

Genshu＝Not diluted with water

Since this saké is not diluted with water, it has a higher alcohol content. At 17%, it can be enjoyed even on the rocks! It’s best described as youthful, untamed, vivacious and punchy.

Come visit us this weekend and shop our range of saké in store!

Today on our saké journey we are sharing this Masumi SHIRO. It’s light enough to sip on all night, with mild aromas of banana and apple that lead into a palate that is gently sweet, and brightened by acidity and lingering savory umami.

This saké pairs perfectly with fresh greens, salads with bright citrus accents, and grilled shrimp or chicken. Also, perfect to sip on while enjoying your favourite selection of cheeses!

Shop this and more at Bin 905!

Did you know Bin 905 carriers a variety of Saké? Whether you're a connoisseur or new to the world of Saké, our team is here to assist you.

Over the next few posts, we will introduce you to some of our favourites which you can find in-store.

If you've been tempted but never tried, here's a brief introduction: Saké generally weighs in at around 15–16% ABV, although, of course, there are exceptions to every rule. It has just a fifth of the acidity of wine. What it lacks in wine’s crisp, refreshing acid bite however, it more than makes up for in texture, subtlety of flavour and diversity of style.

Come visit us and explore our full selection! 🍶

Elevate your cocktail by using local distillery @eauclairecraft 😍

You can create a simple vodka cocktail infused with aromatics and flavour, that lets the spirit shine, while also adding in some fruit.

We used 2oz of Eau Claire Vodka, splash of cranberry juice, splash of tonic, ice to the brim, and frozen mixed berries.

What’s your go to @eauclairecraft spirit?
