that’s the spirit !

A spoonful of a liqueur or aperitif is all you need to turn a flute of bubbly into something extraordinary. If you want a layered-looking drink with a colourful layer sunken at the bottom, add a liqueur like Southbrook Framboise (LCBO 341024, 375 mL, $19.95) or, for a turquoise Instagram moment, McGuinness Blue Curaçao (LCBO 631200, $18.95) to the bubbly, tipping it carefully against the inside of the glass. If you want the ingredients to mix, add the bubbly very slowly to lighter apertifs like Aperol (LCBO 176834, $27.30). Twists of orange zest or a couple of fresh raspberries make ideal garnishes.
