LCBO Food & Drink Holiday 2021

HOT CHOCOLATE BAR WITH MARSHMALLOW MERINGUE Made with high-cacao chocolate and a touch of cream, this is hot chocolate, adulting-style. Inviting your guests to make their own boozy hot chocolate frees you up to enjoy the company. And it’s a great centrepiece for all of those rich liqueurs that feel so right by the fire. Bittersweet toasted marshmallow meringue— what’s not to like? This recipe is the December Cocktail of the Month.Visit lcbo.com/fdcocktail to watch it being made. Sometimes it’s good to make an effort. Sure, there’s a place for a two ingredient no-fuss cocktail (summer!), but when you’re merry-making over the holidays, a little razzle- dazzle goes a long way. Enter these six superstar cocktails, each worthy of the spotlight .

Unapologetically over the top and dressed to impress both in looks and taste, these holiday cocktails are well worth the extra effort to create. They’re truly unforgettable.
