One Of Our Favourite Sips Wins Big (Recipe!)

One of our favourite B.C.-made sips won big at the recent Artisan Distillers Canada Canadian Artisan Spirit Competition! Ampersand Distilling Company, in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, took top honours for its Nocino!—an Italian-style green walnut liqueur made with walnuts handpicked in the valley and sweetened with local honey. Here’s a winning recipe you can mix up at home! —Vita Daily
