LCBO Food & Drink Early Summer 2023

24 M A y The Victoria Day long weekend is the kickoff to summer, and with it comes the season for forgetting SUMMER KICKOFF

about cumbersome bottle openers, complex mixing techniques and precise measurements in favour of fuss-free drinks fit for warm weather relaxation. After all, the only thing better than a refreshing drink on a hot summer day is one that you can serve without breaking a sweat. To celebrate the May 2–4 weekend, we’ve rounded up 24 drinks to try this summer—beverages that are as portable as they are pleasant-tasting. Whether you’re spending your next long weekend by a lake, hosting a backyard BBQ or just lounging in the sun, these low‑effort drinks will help you make the most of your downtime and quench your thirst through even the dog days of summer.
