Already synonymous with comfort, Odd Society Spirits and The Red Wagon encourage safe connection through a special cocktail collaboration for Valentine’s Day weekend. Pull up a stool and let bar managers Olivia Povarchook (Odd Society Spirits) and Rob Scope (The Red Wagon) lift your spirits with their mid-month ‘Neighbourly Love’ cocktails. Inspired by their mutual love for community and a strong desire to nurture a sense of togetherness even though physically distanced, this innovative duo partnered up to create two distinctive cocktails in support of hospitality workers while remaining mindful of current health and safety protocols.
“This year, Valentine’s Day is simply about finding creative and respectful ways to reach out,” explains Povarchook. “Rob and I wanted to offer something fun that reminded folks they’re not alone—they’ll always have a seat and a warm, friendly welcome at our bars.”
From February 11 to 13 (14th at The Red Wagon), guests are encouraged to visit Odd Society Spirits and The Red Wagon either solo or together in their respective bubbles and enjoy the ‘Neighbourly Love’ cocktails: Mighty Aphrodite (Strawberry-infused Wallflower Gin, Bittersweet Vermouth, and chocolate bitters) and The Prospect of Love (Prospector Rye, Mia Amata Amaro, rose-and-lychee black-tea syrup, lemon juice, and Ms. Better’s Bitters Miraculous Foamer). These lovely libations are made exclusively with Odd Society Spirits and are best enjoyed at the bar in the physically distanced company of Povarchook or Scope. $1 from every Neighbourly Love cocktail sold will benefit The BC Hospitality Foundation.
