LCBO Food & Drink Spring 2024

The latest bits, bites and sips to keep you in the know. BY ERIC VELLEND Inside Scoop

A mash-up of two big trends—Dirty Martinis and dill pickle everything—our Dill Pickle Martini (recipe p. 105) has just enough brine to give it a savoury edge, but not so much that it takes away from the delicate botanicals of the vermouth. The bracingly cold cocktail is terrific with potato or smoked meat appetizers, or both—like our Deconstructed Baked Potato (recipe at LCBO.com/fdspring24). Dill Pickle Martini DRINK OF THE SEASON
