Today’s cocktail culture isn’t just defined by the drinks themselves - but by the people, ideas, and energy behind them.

Inside one of Toronto’s most storied hotel bars. 📚

Located within @fairmontroyalyork, @librarybartoronto is the hotel’s oldest bar, with decades of history behind it.

In recent years, it’s been reborn as the hotel’s flagship cocktail destination - a place where legacy, storytelling, and creative risk-taking come together.

For Beverage Director @oldgrayrabbit, the story comes first. From spirit and glassware to presentation and service, every element is shaped by the idea behind the drink.

In this episode of World Class: Behind The Bar, James - our 2021 Global Bartender of the Year - explains how he and the team are carrying Library Bar’s legacy forward, while making every guest feel like they belong.

A highball shaped by the forest. 🌲

At the @prophecybar popup during our Global Final in Toronto, @fatherofcups presented Council of Trees - a cocktail inspired by the forests of British Columbia and the quiet intelligence of the natural world.

Built with @johnniewalker Black Label, fino sherry, cedar, birch, alder, cherrywood, and oak moss, it brings layers of smoke and woodland aromas into one deeply evocative serve.

It’s a drink rooted in place, memory, and the idea that nature is never as silent as it seems.

Here’s how to make it:

—

✨ INGREDIENTS ✨

- 30ml Johnnie Walker Black Label
- 15ml Fino Sherry
- 45ml Birch Water
- 25ml Smoked Tea*
- 5ml Oak Moss**

- Garnish: Rosemary

—

✨ METHOD ✨

Add all ingredients to a mixing tin and stir with ice. Strain into an ice-filled highball glass, and garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary.

—

*To make the Smoked Tea:

- 2000g Water
- 100g Cedar (broken into pieces)
- 50g BC Forestea (smoked alderwood)
- ~2000g Sugar (superfine)
- ~105g Citric Acid

Heat water to a boil. Add cedar and tea leaves, cover and steep for 20 mins. Remove cedar, strain out tea leaves. Weigh tea, combine equal parts tea and sugar. Stir to combine, heat softly if needed. Add citric acid by volume and stir.

—

**To make the Oak Moss:

- 5g Dried Oak Moss
- Water
- 10g Cedar (pieces)
- ~500g Sugar

Combine 1000ml water with oak moss, bring to boil and steep for 5 mins. Strain water and repeat. Once treated, add oak moss, cedar and 500g water together. Bring to boil and simmer for 15 mins. Strain out cedar and oak moss, and weigh liquid. Mix with equal amounts of sugar to create a 1:1 syrup.
