Rare and Hard to Find

“things that are hard to find, are rare and precious”   Talha Zahid

Seeking liquor products for that special gift or occasion can be a real challenge on your own. At Aligra, we love challenges!

So, we’ve set up a special page for Rare & Hard to Find items that might fit that bill. Some,  we’ve already found. So if you see it here, it’s likely one of a kind too. Please send us an email or give us a call to reserve it. If you don’t,  call us anyway, and perhaps whatever you’re looking for, we’ll do our best to find it! - Alison & Grant

St Patrick's Day this Thursday!

Move Over Green Beer!

Thursday March 17th   is St Patrick’s Day.   If you choose to celebrate the Luck of the Irish, and are tired of the usual suspects  - Guinness, Jameson’s Irish Whiskey or Bailey’s, we’ve got a couple of new green cocktails to brighten up your week!

Lucky 75

Using your favourite green liqueur ( Midori Melon, or Sourpuss Green Apple) splash some in the bottom of a pretty flute glass.

Top up with your favourite sparkling wine or Prosecco and a slice of melon or green apple, and Voila!  A bright green fresh cocktail!

Or, if you’re health conscious, you could combine your green smoothie with a shot of vodka!

 Ketel One Green Mary

1 oz Ketel One Family-Made Vodka

3.5 oz freshly juiced equal parts of celery and cucumber

.5 oz freshly squeezed lime

1 pinch of rock salt, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg and dried chili flakes

Directions:

Add all ingredients to the glass, stir well, add ice. Garnish with a salted cucumber slice.

Recipe by Ketel One.

However, if you’re still wanting your Irish whiskey though, why not tart it up a bit and make one of these?  It's not green, but we guarantee it will be festive!

Irish Canadian Old Fashioned

2 1/2 oz Jameson

tsp maple syrup

3-4 dashes of bitters

juice from half a lemon

twist or orange

Preparation

Combine the maple syrup and bitters in the bottom of a mixing glass, stir until well combined. Fill 2/3 of the glass with ice, then squeeze the lemon over the ice. Pour in Jameson and garnish with a twist or orange.

If that still doesn't tickle your Irish fancy,  blend up a frosty Margarita.  Afterall, it is green!

Slainte!
