LCBO Food & Drink Autumn 2026

SPICE WORLD

Autumnal Spice Think of the ubiquitous seasonal “pumpkin spice” blend to conjure these warming, comforting baking-spice flavours, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger. They complement whisky, rum, beer, wine and cider very well, and grace any favourite cocktail with a bold, seasonal spice profile.

BITES WITH BITE Bring spiced flavours from the glass to the table with a nutty snack, like these sweet-and-spicy bars or a fiery gochujang nut mix. Find these and more recipe ideas from our archives at LCBO.com/ fdautumn26.

Monsieur Cocktail Pumpkin Spice Syrup LCBO 48175, 250 mL, $9.95 Give the pumpkin-spice treatment to almost anything you like—beer, cocktails and coffee, or pancakes, waffles and ice cream—with 1/2 oz of this boldly baking-spiced brown-sugar syrup.

Island Diaz Spiced Rum LCBO 23827, $44.95 Though the warm Caribbean spice profile hails from the Islands, this unsweetened rum is blended at Nickel 9 Distillery in Toronto. Mix it with ginger beer for an even bigger spice kick.

Fireball Blazin’ Apple LCBO 49125, $25.90 The beloved cinnamon whisky liqueur just got apple-pied, with bursts of sour green apple and sweet cinnamon-sugar on a smooth, caramelly base.

Warm ‘N Cozy Mulled Wine LCBO 348524, $12.95 For glowing autumn days and chilly fall nights, sip this ready spiced red wine chilled and orange-zest garnished, or gently warm it and stir in dried spices to enhance notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove.
