Toronto Locals Are Ready-to-Drink for Summer

There’s no shortage of canned and bottled ready-to-drink cocktails from big international brands—but why not drink local this summer? Award-winning bar Civil Liberties offers bartender-quality bottled cocktails under its Civil Pours label that are made with sustainability in mind. New for this summer: a Daiquiri and a Gimlet, which will be available along with the ever-popular Cosmopolitan, at civilpours.com. The crowd-pleasing Jalapeño Margarita, made spicy with an herbaceous chili-pepper distillate, is also available at LCBO stores.

The ginsmiths at Reid’s Distillery in Toronto also have your no-fuss summer sipping covered. Refreshing, carbonated Cucumber Rose Collins and Gin & Tonic slim cans (both at the LCBO) chill quickly and travel easily to summer barbecues and patio parties. Chill a bottled, ready-to-serve Strawberry Lime Gimlet, Negroni or Spiced Maple Manhattan (featuring barrel-aged gin in place of whisky) to wow your friends with bar-quality drinks at home: each bottle will yield up to 12 pours.
