Copperpenny Just A Sec Triple Sec Liqueur
Vivid and aromatic, this small-batch citrus liqueur captures fragrant peel oils, fresh fruit and a rounded touch of vanilla sweetness. Singular distillation and an unfiltered finish preserve an expressive, slightly textured profile, with orange zest carrying cleanly through the close. Use it in a Margarita, Sidecar or any drink calling for triple sec, or pour a small measure over ice with dry gin.

Four Winds Brewing Icebox Cold IPA 4-Pack
Clean, crisp and firmly hop-led, this cold IPA is brewed like a lager but hopped with the intent of an IPA. Cold fermentation with a hybrid lager yeast gives the palate its precise, refreshing shape, while substantial additions of Mosaic and Cascade build aromatic depth. The finish stays dry and focused, balancing fermentation clarity with expressive hops. Serve well chilled with burgers, grilled chicken, spicy noodles, fish tacos or mature cheddar.
Ryes & Shine Pumpkin Spice Moonshine
Ripe pumpkin gives the palate a smooth, gently rounded centre, while cinnamon brings warm aromatic lift. The spice is measured rather than sharp, allowing the soft fruit and warming spirit base to remain balanced through the finish. Serve lightly chilled, over ice or warmed gently with apple cider. It also works naturally in an autumn Old Fashioned, a creamy coffee cocktail or alongside pumpkin pie, ginger cake and toasted pecans.
Marrow Arancio Vermouth
Lush and fruit-led, with skin-contact Pinot Gris bringing ripe orchard fruit, gentle grip and an amber-toned depth. Lavender and chamomile add soft floral lift, while rhubarb root, yarrow, sweet cicely, bitter orange and kola nut build a layered herbal bitterness beneath measured sweetness. The finish is textured, fragrant and complex. Serve chilled over ice with a lemon slice, or use it to give a Negroni or spritz a distinctly botanical edge.
Golden Age Hearth & Fire Mead 750 mL
Golden honey opens into a layered aroma of apple, orange peel and sweet baking spice.

Floral notes lift the middle and the texture remains rich and composed. The finish is long, warming and gently spicy. Serve lightly chilled or at cellar temperature with roasted pork, aged cheese or fruit crumble.
Esquimalt Kina-Salal Quinquina 500 mL
Juicy wild salal and blueberry lead into layers of dark berry, floral honey and earthy botanicals.

Serve well chilled over ice, lengthen with soda, or add a small measure of gin; it makes a distinctive aperitif alongside charcuterie, olives or aged cheese.
The Irony Spirits The Booster Shot Serrano Pepper Spirit 375 mL
Serrano pepper gives this semi-dry aperitif a vivid, warming bite, balanced by the sweeter character of red bell pepper. Italian strawflower and lime leaves add aromatic lift and a fresh citrus-herbal edge, keeping the palate lively rather than aggressive. The finish is bold, clean and savoury. Serve well chilled or over ice, or use a small measure to sharpen a Caesar, Margarita or another cocktail that benefits from controlled heat.

A Sunday in August Gulf Island Vermouth
Bright citrus peel and fresh coastal herbs shape a lively, aromatic nose, with a soft floral note adding lift. The palate is dry and lightly textured, carrying subtle orchard fruit beneath layered botanical bitterness. A clean saline suggestion keeps the profile energetic, while the citrus returns through a crisp, gently bitter finish. Serve chilled over ice with a citrus twist, or use it in a lighter Negroni-style aperitif alongside olives, fresh cheese or simple seafood.
Golden Age Meadery Ancient Lore Mead
Warm honey and rosemary lead an aromatic, savoury opening, joined by citrus peel and earthy herbs. The palate is rounded and gently sweet, with balsam needles bringing a crisp, pine-like freshness through the middle. A restrained coffee note adds depth without turning bitter. The finish is smooth, herbal and quietly lingering. Serve lightly chilled with aged cheese, roast squash, glazed pork or a not-too-sweet nut tart.
Wildflower Distilling Co. Limoncello 375 mL
Hand-peeled lemons give this liqueur a bright, direct citrus character, with fragrant peel oils and fresh lemon flavour at the centre. A measured sweetness rounds the tartness without turning heavy, leaving the palate clean and refreshing. The finish is lively, lightly bitter and distinctly lemon-led. Serve thoroughly chilled, pour over ice after dinner, or use a small measure to sharpen a spritz or citrus cocktail.

Averill Creek Rosé Vermouth
Linden blossom and pineapple weed give the aroma a gently floral, meadow-like character, joined by pink peppercorn and a hint of star anise. The palate is bright and lightly honeyed, with fresh herbal tones from nettle and tea balanced by cardamom spice and clean acidity. Its sweetness is measured, allowing the botanicals to remain precise. The finish is fragrant, gently bitter and refreshing. Serve chilled over ice, with soda or in a spritz.
Cinco Tequila Soda Mixer 8-Pack
Bright lime opens the mix with a crisp citrus snap, while grapefruit brings a bittersweet, lightly juicy edge. Pineapple adds a riper tropical note, sharpened by lime, jalapeño and a small savoury touch of salt. Across the selection, sparkling water keeps the tequila base light and refreshing. The finish stays clean, dry-leaning and lively. Serve well chilled with tacos, grilled corn, ceviche or spicy chicken.
Golden Age Midnight Dream Mead 750 mL
Raspberry and blackberry lead a vivid berry aroma, framed by floral honey and a subtle herbal note. The palate is rounded and gently sweet, with tart red fruit and a light citrus edge bringing lift.

Serve lightly chilled with duck, berry-glazed pork or dark chocolate.
Esquimalt Bitter Orange Apéritif
Orange blossom leads with a bright, fragrant lift, followed by vanilla, almond and a firm line of herbaceous bitterness. Cinnamon and clove add gentle warmth, while the mead base brings a rounded texture without making the palate heavy. The finish is citrus-led, bittersweet and quietly spiced. Serve chilled over ice, lengthen with sparkling water, or use it to bring polished orange-and-botanical depth to gin, rum or whisky cocktails.
The Irony Spirits Cranberry Euphoria Semi-Sweet Liqueur 375 mL
Bright cranberry brings tart red-fruit freshness to a smooth, semi-sweet palate. A hint of rosemary adds a savoury herbal lift, giving the berry character more definition and keeping the finish from becoming heavy. The texture is rounded but lively, with a clean balance between fruit, sweetness and gentle botanical detail. Serve well chilled after dinner, pour over ice, or add a small measure to sparkling wine for a crisp aperitif.
