Heed the Hedonist a Perfect “10″

It’s official: Heed the Hedonist is a “Perfect 10.”

A perfect ten dollars, that is.

As of this past Spring, Clive’s at Chateau Vic in Victoria, B.C. has a brand spankin’ new cocktail menu.

And Heed the Hedonist is on it!

You read correctly, dear hedonists – Clive’s beloved bartender, Shawn Soole, added the Heed the Hedonist as a House Specialty in honor of our new-found friendship (and perhaps as a result of a pinch or two of my persistent and persuasive prodding). A tiki drink made with Bacardi Limon, Appleton Estate VX, Rhubarb Syrup & fresh lime juice, this drink is smooth and sweet, yet fresh and tart (just like your Hedonista). And selling for $10, this cocktail IS in fact a “Perfect 10″ (again, just like your Hedonista). If you close your eyes when you drink it, you can picture yourself on a tropical beach, complete with sand, surf, and – most importantly – SUN: a rare thing for us Pacific Nor’westers this “summer” thus far. To Shawn, it appears that nothing says “hedonist” better.

Just another (albeit biased) reason why Clive’s tops of my list for best cocktail bar in Victoria (with the Hotel Rialto’s Veneto a close second).

If only Shawn would add our website address under this fab tiki drink that’s now listed in their cocktail menu (hint, hint)….

Oh, and Happy Canada Day to all of my hedonistic Canucks out there!
