Mastering the art of a great Gin and
Tonic is something Adam and I have been working on for some time. We’ve tested
out different types of sparkling water, gins, fruit combos and more and I have
to say – I think we’ve finally settled on our favourite. Of course – any great
drink must be served in equally appropriate bar ware.

We’re thrilled to be
sharing our cocktail recipe today with Pier 1 Imports to celebrate the launch
of their new store in Etobicoke, near Sherway Gardens. I’m always re-arranging
my bar cart depending on the time year or the occasion and their selection of
bar accessories, drink ware and napkins was the just the pick-me-up I needed as
we transition into spring.

My intent was solely to grab some bar cart
accessories but as you can see, it was a tad difficult staying on task with
their new collection ;) Not to mention – a lot of the items I had grabbed were on sale – WOO! From faux-peonies (OBSESSED), to tufted benches and Lucite
lamps, this is any décor-obsessed gal’s dream. You must check it out! 
If you follow along instagram, you’ll see I grabbed an armful of these peonies on the weekend and trying to tell them apart from the real thing is near impossible!

I’m still a sucker for stemless barware! 

I love adding a pop of colour to my bar cart with coloured straws :)

Excited to spruce the house up with some faux-flowers!
