Toasting Every Tradition Gatherings centred on various cultural and global holidays let us raise a glass at many occasions this spring—a celebration of diverse traditions that are always worth toasting. In May, Cinco de Mayo is an opportunity to serve agave spirits like tequila and mezcal, or a tequila cocktail like the pineapple kissed Matador. May also marks Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, good occasions to sip or gift drinks like Japanese sake or flavoured Korean soju. Also in May, Canadian Jewish Heritage Month is the perfect time to try kosher wines (look for wines with KPM in the name at the LCBO).
