Pour yourself a taste of Canada this July 1 and toast the national holiday with some of the country's best beverages
Canadians are known to enjoy a cold one on a hot day, but when it comes to cocktails, we hold our own, too. Our homegrown Canadian liquors and unique inventions make for a variety of tasty mixes you can proudly sip as you enjoy Canada’s birthday bash.
Invented in Calgary in 1969, this Canadian favourite is often mistaken for the American Bloody Mary. But don’t get confused, ours is much better.
Practise stirring up this concoction at home – it’s rarely available outside Canada – so you can impress your travel companions when you find yourself abroad.

Inspired by our very first Prime Minister, this one was made for Canada Day parties, and can safely be served anytime to those who like to talk politics over a stiff drink.
Some of the best things made in Canada are in this shooter. And you can feel good about increasing the country’s gross domestic product while you party.
Maximize the Canadian-ness this year with a red and white drink. This delicious concoction will have you singing “Oh, Canada!” before nightfall.
Made with Canadian whiskey and pure maple syrup, this cocktail may leave you craving pancakes the next morning.
Treat it like the familiar Jager-bomb and you’ll master this adventurous shooter in no time.
Dip into your francophone roots and serve up this Quebecois favourite.
