While many people think of Canadian whisky as a sweater-weather spirit, it’s the base for many refreshing summer cocktails. A quick click on the Food & Drink archives will yield a number of gems. To toast the beginning of cottage season, our Dockside Whisky Sour is a gorgeous twist on a favourite featuring lime juice and a vibrant syrup of berries and black tea. For a patriotic spin on the Kentucky classic, try The Great Canadian Julep sweetened with thyme infused maple syrup. Finally, for something easy, make a round of Mint Divines (right), an herbaceous highball with lemonade.

Two Canadian whiskies priced right for mixing: Gooderham & Worts Canadian Whisky LCBO 428417, $42.45 Canadian Club 100% Rye LCBO 390583, $31.15
