Craving a Margarita in a snap? Here’s one already perfectly balanced and ready to serve. Made with tequila, Triple sec, natural lime juice and agave syrup, it combines freshness, balance and tanginess. All that's left to do is add ice and pour into a glass frosted with salt to adopt the classic style. But you can also mix it with a little citrus soda (lemon, grapefruit...) for a lighter version, or blend it with ice cubes to concoct a refreshing slush. ¡Salud!

Crown Royal was created by Samuel Bronfman, president of Seagram at the time, to commemorate King George VI and his wife Elizabeth's visit to Canada in 1939. Sold only here at first, this remarkably rich whisky quickly gained a reputation that reached beyond our borders.

Made from corn, rye and malted barley, and aged for just the right amount of time in new oak casks, Crown Royal unveils notes of cooked apple, caramel, gingerbread and cinnamon candy. Very silky, it can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, or as a base for several cocktails.

Rich and complex, this Ripasso is halfway between an Amarone and a red from the Valpolicella DOC. "Re-passed" on the grape marc used to produce Amarone, the wine used gains in generosity and structure. Tasty enough to accompany red meats or game terrines.
