Made for Canada Day 2022. Shoutout to Prime Minister Jean Chrétien for putting a citizen in a chokehold at 61 years old. This drink is awesome—definitely one of the tastiest non-exotic originals I’ve whipped up!

Editor's Note

Québec brandy meets maple liqueur and blueberry honey in this regional sour. Tart grapefruit cuts the sweetness, creating a balanced, terroir-driven sipper.
