LCBO Food & Drink Holiday 2017

SOMETIMES TOO MUCH is just that. A big, rich, sugary dessert can be the last thing you want after an epic meal, and the holidays are nothing if not one epic meal after another. Consider a different way to satisfy that longing for something sweet. Here, five small after-dinner drinks show they’re worthy of taking dessert’s place at the table.     There’s a creamy, on-trend salted hot cocoa, a burnt honey-laced cocktail with a welcome bitterness, and a hint of the tropics in another. And because we know that more than a few of you fancy chocolate, there’s one served in an edible chocolate cup, plus even the usually cloying eggnog takes its turn impressing in a light, mandarin-scented sipper. The best part? They’re as easy to make as they are delicious. BigFlavour SMALL SIZE, SPINNING OFF THE TREND OF TINY DESSERTS, THESE CREAMY COCKTAILS SATISFY A SWEET TOOTH IN JUST TWO OR THREE SIPS.
