From Market to Menu: Behind Bernie’s Featured Cocktails

At Bernie’s, we believe good ingredients make great cocktails… but great local ingredients make all the difference.

Every week, our bar manager, Griff, heads to the Kelowna Farmers and Crafters Market with a simple goal: find what’s fresh and in season, then turn it into something exceptional. That’s how our Market Cocktail program was born.

We know our guests value thoughtful ingredients—and they can taste the difference in what we serve.

By sourcing from independent farmers and growers right here in the Okanagan, we’re not only crafting better cocktails, we’re also contributing to a stronger, more sustainable local food system.

From juicy summer berries to fragrant herbs and stone fruit at their peak, Griff builds each cocktail from the ground up—literally.

The result? A drink that’s fresh, balanced, and rooted in the place we call home.

Stop in, support local, and taste what’s fresh this week.
