Carmen MacKeage, The Fifteen Group
In the past, Carmen may have mixed you a tasty drink at DB, Lumiere, Market at the Shangri-La Hotel, Fable, Vij’s or Tojo’s Restaurant. Carmen’s expertise in the industry is legendary and she now consults for many restaurants and bars through The Fifteen Group.
C.M’s TIP: “Don’t be afraid to experiment! Creating cocktails at home can mean you are limited by what you have in your personal bar. Get to know the flavour profiles of the ingredients you have on hand and experiment with how they can come together to create something new and delectable.”
Carmen talked about her inspiration behind the drink: This cocktail was created in honour of all the firefighters and first responders working through challenges facing the Pacific Coast and keeping everyone who has been touched by this tragedy in our hearts.
