Collective arts distiller Matt Howell designed this gin to be exciting and fascinating. This super unique gin is made with orange, coffee and cocoa, which makes the notes extremely familiar and yet also exotic when brought together in one profile. With darker notes of coffee beans and cocoa, the fresh citrus brought elegance and depth. It’s a perfect gin to experiment with for cocktails and to show off to gin lovers when you’re together (it’s a unique gift too). Don’t forget to serve it hot – try it in a cup of hot chocolate or espresso martini.

Forty Creek Faucet Room

Forty Creek continues to innovate and has just launched a collaboration with Niagara’s first craft brewery, Bench Brewing. In this bottle, craft beer and craft whiskey come together for a spice, hop and bitterness profile paired with citrus and mint. How about the fact that it comes packaged in a growler which makes it unique in the whiskey category. Bench Brewing aged the beer in Canadian oak barrels that previously housed Forty Creek Confederation Oak whiskey, then the barrels returned to the distillery for use in secondary aging of the whiskey blend. Without using the 9.09% rule to add beer to the whiskey, the beer notes come only from the aging process and pass through the oak barrels – isn’t that cool?

Vodka Pierre Bleue CîROC

Perfect for the bar cart, the mixologist and if you like variety there are plenty of flavors within the brand where you can be completely adventurous!

Sweet Red Vermouth Martini

Made by the legendary Luigi Rossi, it blended local plants to make this iconic vermouth. Although the exact recipe remains a well-kept secret for the house, the intensely herbaceous character of this sweet vermouth is the result of the assembly of carefully chosen wines with a complex selection of Italian herbs including sage, savory. and dittany, and exotic bittersweet woods. With comfortable aromas and versatility in its profile, this is a must-have for your winter bar cart. While vermouth was traditionally used for medicinal purposes, it was later served as an appetizer and later adopted by bartenders to create delicious cocktails like negroni. So grab a bottle and get creative!
