LCBO Food & Drink Holiday 2021

A LITTLE SOMETHING

Yes, you can! It’s the easiest way to entertain, bar none: ready-made cocktails in cans and a tasty snack to nibble alongside.

Start with a trio of drinks— Jack Daniel’s & Cola ( LCBO 166090, 473 mL, $2.95), Absolut Mango Mule ( LCBO 19134, 355 mL, $3.00) and Canadian Club & Ginger Ale ( LCBO 273110, 473 mL, $3.00). Then open a jar of GORP World protein chips. Colleen Dyck, a “wannabe triathlete” and mom in Mani­ toba, started producing her own protein bars to enormous ac- claim. A natural follow-up were these scrumptious chips, made from roasted broad beans; they come in a huge variety of flavours. gorpworld.com

What a yummy treat for Santa—or anyone else! Nathalie Morin and her husband, chocolatier Julien Rousseau-Dumarcet, own their own hugely popular business in Halifax. This bar is a limited holiday edition, made from premium, sus- tainable 64% dark choco- late that’s filled with liquid caramel subtly flavoured with gingerbread spices. rousseauchocolatier.ca

Eggnog and…

Few things evoke the holiday spirit as smoothly as eggnog. Double the pampering points with a chocolate bar oozing caramel.
