Drinks are free when you're staying at the lodge (cheers to that).
There are a few elements at play at Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge's The Ivanhoe. First is the selection—deep in craft gin and single malts, pretty solid in amaros. Second is the fact that it's free (i.e., included in your daily tariff), and no matter how many zeroes you have in your bank account you’re bound to feel an undeniable charge when you see a bottle of Hennessy XO that's yours for the asking.

Then there's the luxury of time—there's no bartender scrambling between customers, there's just a long communion over drink, a back-and-forth that steers you to exactly what you’re looking for.
