LCBO Food & Drink Holiday 2024

SPIRITS

Double Duty Splurging on a special bottle for a single recipe or occasion can leave you with leftovers—and in need of ideas for using them up. Our “double duty” approach offers inspiration for utilizing spirits and liqueurs in unique ways: first, in their usual role behind the bar, then as a special ingredient in holiday desserts.

FOOD STYLING BY CHRISTOPHER ST. ONGE; PROP STYLING BY CATHERINE M ac FADYEN A Splash and a Dash of Berry Liqueur Infused with rich black raspberry and encased in an elegant, globe-like bottle, Chambord brings a bit of luxury to any celebration. This velvety liqueur is lovely sipped straight or on ice, with a splash of sparkling water or in traditional cocktails like a Chambord Royale, where it’s paired with Champagne. In these recipes, married with citrus and the vanilla notes of tequila, or with almond and delicate whipped cream, it brings a luxe, sophisticated charm to both drinks and desserts.

Chambord Royale LCBO 111443, $47.10 Blackberry and raspberry flavours make this a luxurious addition to festive cocktails and desserts. Its velvety richness complements fudgy chocolate cakes, while sublime berry notes balance your favourite bubbles.
