Some 36 Four Seasons hotels in North, Central and South America were challenged to create a cocktail using only locally sourced ingredients. Limited only by their imaginations and a 100-mile radius, the hotel mixologists put their own spin on a 100 Mile Cocktail. Cocktails from Austin, Los Angeles’ Beverly Wilshire, Denver, Palo Alto, San Francisco (a drink also made with vodka), Seattle, Vancouver and Whistler all used gin creatively, but in vastly different ways.

For the full recipe of each of these 100 Mile Cocktails, be sure to visit our Facebook page and view the photo album dedicated to these creative concoctions.
