Cocktail recipe: Blue moon over Barcelona
Christopher McDonald of Toronto’s Cava restaurant is a master of much more than the gourmet tapas for which he is known. Here he adds the creation of a refreshing Chatelaine cocktail to his list of accolades. Sit back and enjoy a grown-up take on a childhood fave: the float. (We did!)
