Continuing our cocktail stories during the Christmas season, we bring you a cocktail that is presented by Occam’s Razor in Red Deer. Occam’s Razor is a restaurant & cocktail bar that is located in the heart of Red Deer’s Historic Downtown. Here is their story:
Occam’s Razor is a comfortable, casual space for people to come together and enjoy great company, food, and fantastic drinks. We opened in November of 2019 and we couldn’t be happier to do what we love in Central Alberta.
The inspiration of our cocktail “Virtue of Patience,” comes from the agave, pineapples, and walnuts that all require rather staggering lengths of time between planting and harvesting. Those ingredients are the primary influence behind the name of this particular cocktail. A sort of “good things come to those who wait” mentality. The Virtue of Patience is one of our signatures here at Occam’s. It’s been a guest favorite from the day we opened our doors, and it exemplifies our style pretty flawlessly. We are very excited to share this cocktail with you as you look around for new recipes to try out when using your bar collection.
