Happy CAN-ada Day!

Reviewed on June 26, 2020

Fill up your cooler and celebrate July 1st  with these 3 quality crafted cans – Fallentimber Meadjito, Eau Claire Distillery Cherry Gin Collins and Benjamin Bridge Nova 7. What do these 3 have in common? They are all Canadian and extremely quaffable! Happy 153 Birthday Canada!

The Fallentimber Meadjito is a twist on the iconic Mojito cocktail where Alberta mead replaces the white rum. It’s light and refreshing with flavours of mint, honey and lime.

The Eau Claire Cherry Gin Collins screams summer! It is a take on the Tom Collins cocktail and is a combination of Eau Claire Cherry Gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, tonic and soda water.

Last but not least is the Benjamin Bridge Nova 7 wine. This is the 12th vintage and the first to be available in a can. (The 750 mL bottle has wide distribution across Canada.) Nova 7 is based on the Moscato d’Asti style from Italy so it’s aromatic and off dry with a bit of spritz. Serve well chilled.
