WHAT ’ S NEW

WHEN BITTER IS BEST

Martini Riserva Bitter LCBO 548966, $25.95

Inspired by an original recipe created by Martini founder Luigi Rossi in 1872, this brand-new prod- uct uses three rare botanicals—saffron, angostura and columba—to create a richly complex bitter aperitivo. Aromatic and mouth-filling, Martini Riserva Bitter is specially blended to make the best-ever Negroni but is also excellent poured over ice or topped up with tonic.

HERE COMES THE SUN G. Marquis Sauvignon Blanc VQA The Red Line LCBO 556894, $13.95

Muskoka Brewery Cool as Cuke Pale Ale LCBO 553958, 4 pk, $12.95 JUST CHILLIN’

Niagara producer G. Marquis has a new, great-value addition to its Red Line collection. It’s ideal for your first alfresco lunch of the season, especially if smoked salmon and herbed chèvre are on the menu. The wine is fresh and tangy, and you’ll love its intense aromas of lime, grapefruit and goose- berry and its bright citrusy flavours.

This award-winning ale (it won gold at the 2017 U.S. Open Beer Champion- ships) was such a popular feature of Muskoka Brewery’s Summer Survival Pack last year, it’s now available as a four-pack. Featuring Ontario-grown hops, a touch of lemon grass and four percent real cucumber juice, the brew offers zesty refreshment with a hit of citrus and fresh cucumber.
