LCBO Food & Drink Holiday 2024

INSIDE SCOOP

ENTERTAINING/GIFTING All Mixed Up

Seasonal mixed packs have many advantages. When it’s beer, cider or ready-to-drink cocktails, they mean more variety for your bar. When it’s spirits, they let you sample from the top shelf before committing to a full bottle. They also make amazing stocking stuffers. To help you navigate the extensive selection, we’ve picked a few favourites to sample and serve.
