LCBO Food & Drink Holiday 2025

Red Bubbles Most spritzes call for white fizzy wines, but bubbling it up with a bright-red sparkling such as Lambrusco makes it even more festive. That can make for a fruitier Spritz, which pairs incredibly well with all the holiday staple finger foods, from rich baked cheeses to spicy charcuterie boards.

RUBY SPRITZ P. 160

Lambrusco is an Italian sparkling red that can taste bone-dry or sweet and fruity. This recipe calls for a dry expression, which often works well in spritzes and other bubbly wine cocktails. Most spritzes can be adjusted for any wine’s sweetness level simply by using restraint when adding syrups, juices and liqueurs.
