DRINK OF THE MONTH

September always hits us with a dose of déjà vu. And after such a hot and dry summer we welcome the cooler breezes this month can bring, but we don’t love bidding farewell to a carefree season—especially when we don’t know what the fall might bring. To make the segue to September smooth, The Foundry has created a cocktail that straddles them both with skillful aplomb. The Cinnamon Apple Pie uses a base of Canadian whisky: first, some Crown Royal Apple, which includes a blend of whiskies with Gala apple flavours, and second, some Fireball Cinnamon whisky for warmth and spice. They blend this with apple juice and pineapple juice and a touch of simple syrup before it’s shaken over ice. A cool drink with the tastes of autumn? We’re in like a plaid shirt. Sip this stunner indoors or on their patio. They’ve got heaters, we’ve got sweaters.
