The “Lionel” at Baldwin Barmacie

White Beer Sangria at Phillips Lounge
Beat the heat between rounds of shopping on St-Catherine Street with this crisp and surprisingly sweet mix of white beer, vodka, and fresh fruit juices.

Rasberry Mojito at Suite 701
Take in the rooftop sights and soak up some sun with this lush cocktail; it tastes like it was freshly picked off a raspberry bush.

Pimm’s Cup at Dominion Square Tavern
Nothing says refreshing summer drink quite like a cocktail with Pimm’s. This fresh tutti frutti liqueur is expertly mixed with lemonade and a spritz of the Tavern’s homemade soda.

Basil Mojito at The Sparrow
We love cosying up on The Sparrow’s salvaged church benches with this savoury alternative to the classic mojito.
