Le Lab

It never fails. Every time I go to a Montréal event where the cocktails are outstanding, the mixologists are always from Le Lab.

Needless to say, I was delighted to see this Québec company expand its brand by launching a Sweet Vermouth and Sirops Artisanals!

Le Lab’s Sweet Vermouth is fan-freaking-tastic.

The flavour reminds me of stewed apples. Hence why I’m going to be serving this libation after meals long into the fall and winter months.

Also: Le Lab has also begun selling their in-house creations of artisinal syrups. Now every home party will have a special hand-crafted touch at the DIY bar!

Currently, Le Lab has 6 sirops artisanals. These syrups truly have the hand-crafted touch, which presents itself in the flavour department:

Gingembre Infernal (Ginger, Cayenne)
Grenadine Vintage (Zero food colouring – made with Pomegranate Juice!)
BBQ Tropical (Pineapple, Tamarind, Hickory, Spices)
Orgeade (Almond Milk, Almonds, Orange Blossom)
Tonique Ancestral (Quinine, Spices)
Sirop Simple (Cane Sugar)

Even though I was a bartender in the past, my wine bottle opening skills pale in comparison to my significant other’s experience as a mixologist at a 5-star resort.

He gets full credit for this Spicy Gingered Rose Apple-tini:
