Trent’s Summer Picks
Deep Roots Coffee Liqueur
A rich, smooth liqueur crafted from amber rum and locally roasted Receiver Coffee. This small-batch blend delivers deep, layered flavours of dark roast, warm vanilla, baking spices, and a hint of chocolate, all wrapped in a sweet caramel finish. It’s bold, balanced, and perfect for sipping.
Trent’s Tip: Try it over ice, in an espresso martini, or as a decadent twist in your weekend coffee. It also pairs beautifully with dark chocolate desserts or creamy tiramisu.
Prince Igor Extreme Pickle Flavoured Vodka
Just in time for summer, Prince Igor’s Extreme Pickle Vodka brings a bold new twist to your favourite cocktails.
This vodka has a fresh mix of dill, peppercorn, clove, cucumber, and a hint of citrus. It brings a unique kick that’ll take your Dirty Martinis and Spicy Caesars to the next level.

The Finnish Long Drink
A staple in Finnish culture, Long Drink is a ready-to-enjoy cocktail made with real gin and citrus. This one sticks to an authentic recipe, featuring natural grapefruit and just the right touch of sweetness. It’s refreshingly smooth, flavourful, and ideal for warm afternoons on the deck or relaxed evenings by the campfire.
Trent’s Tip: Pairs perfectly with grilled seafood, salty snacks like chips or pretzels, or even a fresh summer salad with citrus vinaigrette. Light, zesty flavours really bring out the best in this drink.
Les Fumees Blanches Sauvignon Blanc Zero
For those times when you want the taste of wine without the alcohol, Les Fumées Blanches Sauvignon Blanc Zero is a standout choice. Made in France by renowned winemaker François Lurton, this alcohol-free white offers the classic Sauvignon Blanc experience — minus the booze.
It pours a bright yellow and opens with zesty citrus aromas of lemon, lime, and grapefruit. On the palate, it’s fresh, lively, and perfectly balanced.
Enjoy it chilled with light appetizers, fresh seafood, or a crisp garden salad. It’s a great pick for brunches or baby showers.
Famille Bougrier Muscadet Sevre et Maine
Calling all shellfish fans — this one’s for you. Famille Bougrier Muscadet is a classic from France’s Loire Valley, and it’s practically made to pair with East Coast favourites like mussels, lobster, quahogs, oysters, and even good ol’ squirt clams.
The Bougrier family has been crafting wine in the region for six generations, and it shows. This Muscadet is dry, crisp, and refreshing, with notes of apple, pear, lemon-lime zest, and that signature Loire minerality that seafood just loves.
Serve it well-chilled with your next seafood boil or oyster night — it’s a coastal match made in heaven.
Long Island Iced Tea
Craving a Long Island Iced Tea but not into juggling four bottles of liquor? This pre-mixed version from Ice Box makes it easy. It blends vodka, rum, gin, and triple sec into one ready-to-pour bottle — all you need to do is add a splash of lemon or lime bar mix and top with cola. That’s it.
It’s a quick, no-stress way to enjoy a bold, flavour-packed cocktail at home. Try turning this into a summertime punch for your next backyard get-together.
