LCBO Food & Drink Holiday 2020

Holiday Cup Pimm’s No. 1 topped with soda, garnished with fruit and herbs, is summer in a cup. Cozy it up for winter by simply subbing amaro—or go all-out by infusing your own base spirit.

MINIMAL Holiday Cup Cynar (pronounced chin-ar), with

artichoke leaf and a dozen other lightly bitter botanicals, tastes delicious with spicy ginger ale. Finish by cookie-cutting impressive garnishes in seconds.

Try with... Cynar LCBO 380832, 1 L, $26.20

MAXIMAL Infused Sherry Cup

Vanilla bean, citrus peel, dried fruit and herbs, when nitrous-charged with fino sherry, create a complex base for a cobbler-style cup. A cucumber Christmas tree maxes out your garnish game.

Try with... Tio Pepe Extra Dry Fino Sherry LCBO 231829, $18.95

Maximalists: It’s not just for whipping cream: use a charging dispenser to infuse spirits.
