LCBO Food & Drink Summer 2026

TAKE A DIP

CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO MARTINI DIP P. 109

What to Serve Rich, sweet, adults-only dessert dips based on favourite cocktails are a brilliant idea— but a tough match for wine. Find ready-to- drink beverages that complement the flavours in the dips without being too matchy-matchy.

Seagram 13 Negroni Sbagliato LCBO 48754, 355 mL, $4.00 A Negroni Sbagliato (“spoiled”) is made with Prosecco instead of gin, which freshens up the whole idea.

NEGRONI DESSERT DIP P. 109

Dillon’s Cold Brew Espresso Martini LCBO 42419, 222 mL, $3.50

Rich, dark and smooth but not too heavy, this version of the classic boosts the coffee component in the dip.

LOCAL TWISTS

Ontario spirits are great in cocktails—and in the kitchen! Try the floral, white pepper notes of Dillon’s Vodka (LCBO 638130, $34.95) or the classic juniper and herbal character of Valley of Mother of God Gin (LCBO 13397, $59.95) in these dips.
