LCBO Food & Drink Summer 2020

A frothy drink pleasantly cuts through succulent salami, and the fruity notes in these fizzers beautifully complement tangy apricot glaze and spicy mustard.

Fruity bubbles Just like 1980s-inspired music and fashion, Riunite Lambrusco Frizzante ( LCBO 13492, $9.95) is back in style, and it’s still very nice served on ice. Its frothy bright-red foam has whiffs of plum and violet and its soft berry flavours make a joyous toast with anything fruity, like this apricot glaze. Making your favourite brunch drink an all-day classic, Pommies Mimosa Cider ( LCBO 15153, 473 mL, $3.60) adds a new flavour to the Caledon cidery’s fruit basket. A base of fresh-pressed juice from several Ontario apple varieties layered with orange creates a zippy foil for charcuterie.
