MEET THE MIXMASTER

Kelly AnnWoods knows

her spirits—in fact, she just opened a distillery in Squamish, B.C.—so you can trust her when she

says there’s no need to go top shelf when it comes to Brazilian-made

cachaca: “Cheap and cheerful makes this drink great,” she says. “It’s a rugged spirit.” Instead, splurge on fresh ingredients for muddling: “There

are so many variations: with fresh strawberries or

black pepper and lime.”
