Fancy making yourself a little Sunday Funday cocktail?! Back in the summer we put together a kit to make this tasty purple cocktail using items we carry in our shop and web store. We’ll be bringing back kits for the winter for the holidays, and also for those of you who would like to try your hand at making cocktails at home but aren’t quite sure where to begin.... We carry a whole selection of carefully curated, high quality cocktail ingredients to stock up your home bar, or perhaps pick up some stocking stuffers for your cocktail-loving pals. Take a look at www.patent5shop.ca to see the whole selection!

Ever wondered what each of these plates in our still does? Well, when we’re making vodka, each plate acts a distillation as alcohol vapours pass through to reach the condenser at the end. First to pass through is the really nasty stuff that we call fores. Next to follow is the heads, that’s what can give vodka that unpleasantly familiar varnish/hairspray taste and smell. Then comes the good stuff the hearts. Hearts cuts are smooth and flavourful; and because we only p...ut the good stuff into our vodka, what we taste coming off the still is really no different than what you taste in the bottle! The last thing left in the still is what we call tails. This part is pretty harmless, but you’d recognize tails by a sort of damp cardboard aroma (or some people think they smell like socks or wet dog!). For obvious reasons... we leave those out too. #Patent5Distillery [image description: a large glass cylindrical tube containing copper plates and small donut-shaped copper hardware.
