The Green Fairy Arrives This March @ The LCBO!

Absinthe has been considered a mythical libation, the elixir of artists, the toast of poets and the bane of governments.

Coming this March to the LCBO is Sirène Absinthe Verte, a complex, rich spirit crafted by an award-winning American artisan distillery. Sirène Absinthe Verte is the first U.S-made absinthe available in the Midwest since the spirit was banned in 1912.

Sirène is made with the traditional trinity of absinthe botanicals - anise, fennel and grand wormwood, along with a propriety blend of additional herbs to create richness and depth. Sirène embodies the rich traditions of absinthe, and is handmade with exacting precision by North Shore Distillery in Illinois . Let Sirène’s beautiful nuance, flavour and aroma tempt you.

Sirène Absinthe Verte will be available in select LCBO Vintage Stores beginning March 14th

Enjoying Sirène Absinthe

Absinthe is traditionally enjoyed in a drip. Pour about an ounce and a half of absinthe in to an absinthe glass or wine glass. Then place an absinthe spoon on the glass and place a sugar cube (optional) on the spoon. If you do not have an absinthe spoon, you can use a slotted spoon or add a dash of simple syrup. Then drip ice cold water over your sugar cube and into the absinthe. You can use an absinthe fountain or simply a carafe of ice water. We recommend having your first drip with three parts water and one part Sirène. Then adjust the water next time to your personal taste.

Now Magazine Splurges This Week On Corner Creek Reserve Bourbon

Splurge

A weekly look at what’s on LCBO shelves

Graham Duncan

WHAT: Corner Creek Bourbon Rating: NNNN

WHERE: Bardstown, Kentucky

WHY: If you’ve rolled down the hill all too often with Jack and Jim and haven’t got any cross-border whiskey expeditions planned, then consider taking a dip in Corner Creek. This high-octane corn juice is a total oak sandwich and definitely needs a spot of water (preferably non-chlorinated) to bring its warm, maple charms to light. It might offend the purists, but a single ice cube does the trick perfectly.

PRICE: 750 ml/$46.95

AVAILABILITY: At selected Vintages outlets (product #972216)
