LCBO Food & Drink Summer 2026

SUMMER 2026

The Dog Days Summer is the time for taking things easy, kicking back and enjoying the weather and the company of friends and family. When it comes to food and drink, there’s no need to reinvent the wheel. Then again, some old favourites could do with a fresh interpretation. Check out our Ultimate Guide to Summer Drinks for smooth, unfussy upgrades on the great drinks of summer. Or share our ideas for your next backyard movie night—scrumptious snacks and cocktails that prove a remake of a classic is always a pleasure. How to perk up the season’s juicy fruits and vegetables? A pinch of salt is the surprise ingredient for recipes featuring canteloupe, plums, peaches and more. And, of course, it wouldn’t be summer without burgers and beer. We’ve got you covered there, too, with deliciously innovative patties and craft pairings. Summertime has its own food and drink traditions; here’s to renewing those beloved recipes and polishing them until they shine.
