Montreal summer, how we love thee, let us count the ways. There’s just so
much awesomeness going on at any given moment all over the city, but if there is
one thing that really makes the warmer months extra special, it’s the pure
indulgence of sipping a refreshing cocktail on a comfy terrasse while enjoying
good company and friendly weather. The perfect combination of quality
ingredients and premium alcohol makes for a delicious party in your glass, and
