LCBO Food & Drink Autumn 2022

ENTERTAINING Bottle It Up Take some of the work out of hosting duties by mixing up a crowd-friendly batch of cocktails ahead of time, so you can relax and enjoy your guests to the max. BY CHRISTINE SISMONDO | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROB FIOCCA

When it comes to host gifts, a handmade

bottled cocktail is a great way to say thank you for yet another lovely gathering.

* Thanks to the lovely maple, caramel and vanilla notes in the whisky, this drink is a great match for Pecan Pie Bars (recipe at lcbo.com/ fdautumn22).

Turkey dinner is hard. Serving ready-to-pour drinks from an icy cold bottle is easy. So be kind to yourself this holiday by pre-batching a smart cocktail for guests to enjoy while they wait for that bird to come out of the oven. Less mixing and shaking translates to more time to enjoy the holiday. Chilled out Hosting
