LCBO Food and Drink Early Summer 2016

SEASONAL  POP-UP SUPPER

When we think of the fruits of summer, berries always come to mind. Bright, fresh and sweet, they are a symbol of summer’s bounty. Why not incorporate them into your menu with some of these berry-inspired drinks? Their berry flavour is a nod to the raspberries found in the salmon’s salsa, making them a fun match. With this recipe and the following drink pairings, dinner couldn’t be easier or more tasty. Roasted Salmon with Orange, Raspberry and Arugula Salsa recipe on page 147

Raspberry with Ginger!

CRABBIES RASPBERRY ALCOHOLIC GINGER BEER LCBO 370619, 500 mL, $3.65 A big punch of ginger gives this drink some prickly heat and a whole lot of aroma. It makes for a nice comple- ment to the juicy raspberry flavour.

BLACK FLY SOUR RASPBERRY LCBO 448613, 473 mL, $2.95 Bright raspberry flavour and just a hint of sour make this really easy to drink. It’s not overly sweet, making it a more mature cooler. Great match with the salsa.

SEAGRAM’S ORIGINAL WILDBERRY LCBO 161356, 4 pk, $9.95 Dark aromas of sweet berries and lots of effervescence. This classic cooler makes for a refresh- ing complement to the flavours of the salmon.

VENOM BLACK CHERRY LCBO 447607, 473 mL, $3.25

The cherry in this premixed cocktail is dark and brooding, with even a touch of spice. Bub- bly and effervescent, it’s a great way to get the party started.
