CRUSH CLASSICS

Even without an icecrushing blender, you can fill a canvas Lewis bag or a thick plastic bag with ice cubes (or buy bagged ice at the LCBO) and use a rolling pin or wooden mallet to crush ice for julep-style serves of unexpected drinks, like Cosmopolitans.

INSTANT GRANITA

Use a grater to shred chunks of frozen watermelon, strawberry or peach over a clear hard soda or seltzer on ice, for a burst of colour and flavour.

HIGHBALLS REIMAGINED

Freeze cubes of tonic water, ginger ale or cola, and blend six cubes with 1½ oz of gin, vodka, whisky or rum per drink to slushify your favourite highball. Microplane fine lemon, lime or orange zest on top as a garnish!

FROZEN IN TIME

Try some frozen cocktail classics from our archives including a slushy Negroni, Aperol Spritz, Paloma and Mint Julep.

Tropical fruit and the spices of South Asian and Southeast Asian food—from mango and passionfruit to coriander and lemongrass—are pouring into this season’s trendiest liqueurs, gins and ready-mixed drinks. And who knows whether this scorching trend is winging in on a Hot Ones influence or taking its cues generally from spicy cuisine, but redhot chili notes are catching fire in everything from canned cocktails to tequila this season.

There’s something about a pink drink, whether it’s a barely blushing rosé wine, a rosy cocktail or a cider the colour of a glowing sunset. Pink-and coral-coloured drinks just somehow seem to announce the arrival of warmer weather and longer days. Bonus: they make a Pride-friendly statement, too, as the pink triangle is a symbol that was long-ago reclaimed by the 2SLGBTQI+ movement.

Chum Churum Saero Apricot

Made of crisp Korean soju spirit, flavoured with apricot without any added sugar, this delicately rosy drink is just 12 percent alcohol by volume.
