Suite & Sour – Meyer lemon cocktails are in season at The Corner Suite Bistro De Luxe.

cassandra — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 21:41:11 +0000

The Corner Suite’s “Genuine Article” – a 30-page homage to some of the world’s oldest and most iconic drinks – is Vancouver’s (if not Canada’s) largest and most comprehensive cocktail list … and it just got bigger.

Meyer lemons are in season, and owner/bartender Steve Da Cruz likes them, a lot. In honour of his favourite fruit, Steve has added a page to his list that showcases Meyer lemons in six variations.

Lucien Gaudin (1928)

Gin, Noilly Prat, Cointreau, Campari, Meyer Lemon Twist, Up

In the 1928 Olympics, Gaudin took Gold in both foil & épée. Also medaled in 20 & 24 – no big deal.

The Japanese (1862)

Cognac, Orgeat, Boker’s Bitters, Meyer Lemon Twist, Up

The first namesake cocktail ever. Tateishi Onojirou Noriyuku – famous ladies’ man.

Amaretto Royal Sour (2008)

Disaronno Amaretto, Meyer Lemon, Whole Egg, Short

“This drink is ridiculously good.” – You.

New York Sour (1894)

Wiser’s De Luxe Rye, Meyer Lemon, Sugar, Griottine, Red Wine Float, Short

Traditionally topped with Claret, this is one gorgeous red head.

The Bee’s Knees (1950)

Gin, Meyer Lemon, Honey, Up

Essentially, a Gin Sour, but with Meyer lemons. It’s the Clam’s Elbows.

Joe Collins (1970)

Vodka, Meyer Lemon, Sugar, Soda, Tall

Nothin’ ordinary about it. Think Tom’s silent little brother, who’s a killer.

The feature cocktails will be available from Wednesday, December 8th until the Meyer lemons are gone.

But….Chef Anthony Sedlak moves on…..From the media release

With the great anticipation and interest in The Corner Suite Bistro De luxe and Food Network’s Anthony Sedlak, several opportunities have developed for the young TV chef and his television and book career.

“ Initially it was possible for Anthony Sedlak to dedicate 40% of his time towards his TV and book requirements and 60% of his time towards The Corner Suite Bistro De Luxe. The last 8 weeks leading up to our opening that has shifted to about 96% of his time working towards new opportunities in his TV and book career that didn’t exist previously. After numerous long talks over February, Andre McGillivray and Steve Da Cruz of The Corner Suite Bistro De Luxe and Anthony Sedlak have come to the conclusion that these new time requirements are insurmountable. These are once in a lifetime opportunities for a young TV chef that we cannot deny him. With our greatest blessings we look forward to watching these projects become reality and Anthony will always be our great friend and ally. “
Andre McGillivray & Steve Da Cruz

Jason Liezert (former owner of Niche Restaurant in Victoria) has been the Chef de Cuisine since day 1 shifting the menu towards more rustic French at Heart dishes (croque madame, 48 hour cassoulet, terrine de campagne) including the longest cheese menu in BC with over 40 cheese selections available.
