  • Cocktail of the Month: Ungava Strawberry & Yuzu

    Cocktail of the Month: Ungava Strawberry & Yuzu

    To close the year in style, we are proud to showcase the brand-new creation from Ungava Distillery.

    Renowned for its iconic yellow gin — one of the first spirits ever created in Québec — the Cowansville-based distillery returns with an unprecedented expression: a fruit-forward, pink-hued gin that delicately blends strawberry and yuzu.

     

    While its vibrant aromas naturally evoke summer, we’ve chosen to celebrate them in the heart of winter — a way to bring a touch of color, freshness, and hope to the coldest days.
