The Fairmont Hotel in Whistler has announced its signature Olympic cocktail starring Vic Gin, as well as other Canadian classics.  The cocktail will be available in November in the Mallard Lounge… but if you are really antsy (and outfitted with the gear), please try it yourself:

The Triple Lutz*

1 oz Vic Gin
1 oz Crystal Head Vodka
.5 oz lemon juice
.75 oz Chef’s whiskey maple syrup
3 muddled blackberries

Muddle blackberries and mix all ingredients in a glass shaker.  Add ice.  Shake and double strain into a chilled martini glass.

Top with ice wine foam:

5.5 strips bloomed gelatin
4 oz ice wine
2 oz fresh lemon juice
5 oz simple syrup
10 oz hot water

Mix ingredients and chill. Add to whipped cream canister. Charge with spark whip.  Discard spark whip and add another, shake, and top onto cocktail. Foam should have a consistent density which undisturbed should stay up over 15 minutes.

*As per the Fairmont’s press release, The Triple Lutz was named for a figure skating jump first executed by a Canadian, Donald Jackson, and perfected over the years by Brian Orser, Elvis Stojko, and new Canadian star Joannie Rochette.
