TORONTO COCKTAIL

This is a wonderful Cocktail named after a wonderful city and for some strange reason no one knows about it...until now. If you are fan of the Old Fashion or a Manhattan you'll like this number. It's an old drink and it's origins are questionable. What is not in question is how delicious this drink is, on the rocks or straight up the city and this cocktail will not steer you wrong.

• Pitch some ice in a shaker
• 2 oz of Canadian Rye Whiskey
• 1/4 oz of Fernet Branca
• 1/4 oz of Simple Syrup *if you are too lazy to make simple syrup try sugar but I implore you make the syrup.
• 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters
• Cut an orange peel and bend it so that the alcohol in the orange peel hits the drink and not your eye
• Strain into a glass.
• serve it neat or on the rocks

TOMATILLO SALSA

A fresh and exciting departure from tomato salsa and all canned (god forbid!) salsa.

• 5-7 tomatillos, from a can - drained 
• ½ onion - roughly chopped
• 2 cloves garlic - smashed
• 1/4 of a jalapeno - seeds included
• juice of 1/2 a lime
• A handful of chopped cilantro
• 1/2 tsp of Salt, or to taste

Drop all these ingredients into a mini-blender and pulse until a slightly chunky salsa remains. Test for lime and salt and serve over your favourite everything! If you remember one thing, remember this. The tomatillo is NOT a tomato.
