In the 2026 Taste Canada shortlisted cookbook, Three Cheers by Kaitlyn Stewart, readers will find 165 inventive cocktail recipes, each featuring a classic, a creative riff, and a zero-proof variation—making it easy for everyone to raise a glass. (@likeablecocktails @penguincanada)⁠
⁠
🍹 One standout is the Jungle Bird, a tropical cocktail that perfectly balances rich dark rum, the bitterness of an Italian aperitif, and bright pineapple juice. As Kaitlyn Stewart writes: "Unlike most tiki-style drinks, the Jungle Bird leans a little more toward the bitter side. It is the perfect combination of bitter, sweet, and sour."⁠
