LUCK OF THE IRISH

Creams & spirits A craft gin and sweet liqueurs for your St. Patrick’s Day cocktail and dessert needs. Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin LCBO 635508, $54.95 Gin production in Ireland can be traced back to the 17th century. Drumshanbo uses aromatic Gunpowder green tea, along with Asian and Irish botanicals to flavour this delicious craft gin. Comfortably at home in a Gin & Tonic or Martini, but also complex enough to be enjoyed neat or over ice. Irish Mist Honey Liqueur LCBO 20768, $36.95 Sweet, floral and herbal with a touch of bitterness, Irish Mist will lend smoothness and complexity to cocktails like the Full Irish Digestif (see next page). Baileys Original Irish Cream LCBO 5959, $30.45 The classic cream liqueur is perfect to add to an after-dinner Irish Coffee or to pour over ice cream topped with crushed shortbread.

Truffle-Mustard- Crusted Rack of Lamb The Cadillac of lamb cuts, elevated even further with the addition of pungent black truffle.
