Canada Day is soon approaching, we are sharing three easy and delicious cocktail recipes. Let’s get the party started, with Canada Day cocktails.
The “Sorry, Not Sorry” Fizz
As Canadians, we apologize for pretty much anything, but we’ll refuse to say ‘sorry’ for this exquisite cocktail. With a slight hint of Canada’s signature flavour, maple syrup, this perfectly balanced, refreshing beverage will have you toasting the Great White North all summer long!
- 1 oz. Iceberg Vodka
- 5 fresh raspberries
- 1 tsp. maple syrup
- 4 oz. sparkling water
- Sprig of mint
In a short glass, muddle four raspberries and then pour in Iceberg Vodka, sparkling water and ice. Add maple syrup and stir until dissolved. Garnish with remaining raspberry and a sprig of mint. Enjoy!

The Canadian Bacon Caesar
What is Canada Day without a Caesar? Complete with a slice of Canadian bacon, this Caesar is a savoury masterpiece that will have your guests breaking out into bouts of ‘O Canada!’ Get creative and use a mold to make maple leaf-shaped ice cubes, creating the perfect red and white combination.
