LCBO Food & Drink Holiday 2022

INSIDE SCOOP

SEASONAL SIPS Colour Code

From a splash of colour to festive garnishes, here are some fun ways to bring holiday spirit to your bar.

GREEN Whether you’re serving Vodka Sodas or Martinis, a splash of McGuinness Melon (LCBO 631234, $20.95) will turn clear drinks Grinch-green. You could also amp up a Gimlet or Daiquiri with a rim of green sanding sugar.

BLUE Blue is the colour of Hanukkah, and with a bottle of McGuinness Blue Curaçao (LCBO 631200, $20.95) in your bar, you can give Margaritas and Sidecars eight days of spirit. A rim of flaky sea salt or white coarse sugar will complement, adding icy sparkle.

RED Cranberry juice will turn most cocktails redder than Rudolph’s nose. Sub it in for OJ in a Mimosa or add a splash to a Gin and Tonic. You could also make a naturally red drink like a Negroni more festive with a few cranberries and a sprig of rosemary.

TREAT OF THE SEASON HIP TO BE SQUARE

Crunchy and chewy Rice Krispie squares are dead-easy to make and loved by one and all. For the holidays, we’ve infused the iconic treat with eggnog flavours then drizzled them with white chocolate and, for a final flourish, sprinkled on Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. It’s a fun no-bake treat to make with the kids and delicious with a cold glass of ’nog.
