Just What You Need to Complete Your Cocktail

A great cocktail starts with a great spirit. If you’re making an Old Fashioned, a Margarita, a Mojito or a Vesper Martini, using quality ingredients will elevate the experience.

Whether it was to mask off flavours or enhance what’s in the glass, people have been mixing their alcoholic beverages almost as long as people have been drinking alcohol. In Homer’s Iliad, slave-girls even prepared concoctions of wine, cheese, honey and raw onions. Now you likely won’t find that recipe at a modern cocktail bar but you will find delicious renditions of Paper Planes and Boulevardiers.

The world of modern cocktail creations is literally at your fingertips.

Our Curation Philosophy

The selection of spirits you can try from around the world is almost limitless and what we can discover in our own backyard is becoming more and more exciting. We, at 5 VINES, are constantly searching for next delicious whisky, rum, gin, tequila and more.

In our stores, you will find some recognizable, “old faithful’s”, however; it’s everything else you’ll find that make us different.

Come, let 5 VINES be your window into a world of new spirits. Our knowledgeable staff will gladly guide you to your next discovery!

Whisky

You may prefer to drink your whisky neat or on the rocks and some drams are truly meant to be enjoyed that way; however, should you choose to take a ride on the Carousel of Cocktology, there is a whole world of historical and modern cocktails to enjoy like the Whisky Sour, Giro d’Italia, The Golden Dram, Casanova, Hanzo Steel, Black & Gold, Libertine, Irish Coffee, and more.

Rum

Ahhhh sweet, sweet rum. How we love thee. Especially when our toes are ensconced in the sun-baked sand of the Caribbean with a frosty Mai Tai in one hand and a Pina Colada in the other. When closer to home, in the middle of a cold Canadian Winter, we’ll linger by the fireplace with a Dark & Stormy, Hot Buttered Rum or a Zombie.

Gin

With the explosion of small craft distilleries popping up all over Canada and the world, there has never been more interesting choices in the Gin landscape. This is leading to limitless cocktail concoctions. You could literally enjoy a different Gin & Tonic or Negroni every day for the rest of your life.

Vodka

The most versatile of spirits. It’s clear and clean and easy to mix. If you’re in the mood for a Martini or a Cosmo then there’s a vodka to match your taste buds. If you’re feeling more summery then how about a Sea Breeze or a Zipper?

Cognac/Brandy

Everyone’s favourite grape-based spirit. Rich, smooth and deliciously sweet this makes for a wonderful nightcap on its own. You may also enjoy it in a French 125, Manhattan Island or a USB Cocktail.

Tequila/Mezcal

Viva La Mexico!! Tequila doesn’t have to be downed in shots or in Margaritas. There is so much you can do with it and its smoky cousin, Mezcal. Have you ever had a Tequila Manhattan or a Tequila Mockingbird? What about a Rosemary Mezcal Negroni or a Mezcal Mule?
