LCBO Food & Drink Early Summer 2021 TRADE

The very best place to eat, drink and be merry this year is the outdoor space right at your door. Raise the bar with the latest décor touches, a Prosecco bar with plenty of sparkle and delectable hassle-free nibbles to make your own patio the ultimate “it” spot for summer. We’ve all been to that tiny outdoor bistro-pub that’s not on the map— that hidden gem that can only be discovered through word of mouth. Now imagine this is your own patio and you’re the host, chef and bartender. This summer, we’ll help you transform your outdoor space. We’ve created flavourful make-ahead recipes that can be mixed and matched depending on your mood, as well as easy batch cocktails that come together in minutes. Best of all, we’ve added décor tips and ideas to help you create an experience your guests will never forget.

What could make your party more memorable than having a personalized logo created for you—and having it appear on everything from customized Lucite stir sticks to paper coasters and ice? A custom logo may seem unnecessary, but it is that kind of detail that will elevate the quality of your event. But where to start? “A successful logo should be about storytelling,” says Lesli Ferguson, graphic designer and branding expert (lesliink.com). “Make sure anything you choose, from colours to fonts, tells a story that you can share with friends.” If creating a logo is too complex, adds Ferguson, “just use a wordmark or icon.”
