Food & Wine | Getting into the holiday spirit with Crabbies Canada

I am counting down the days to the holidays with my family and friends. After an amazing year with the DoTheDaniel.com team, it’s time to relax and enjoy! For those of you looking forward to kicking up your feet post holiday feast, have I got a treat for you. Crabbie’s Ginger Beer has finally arrived in Canada, and after speaking to Catherine about how much she loved it in London while living there, I knew it would be a perfect for the holidays!

“The story of Crabbie’s began in Edinburgh, Scotland during the early 19th century with respected grocer merchant, Miller Crabbie.  His son John Crabbie developed a flair for the innovative. Capitalizing on the nearby Port of Leith gave him access to ingredients from many nations, he sourced the finest ginger and exotic spices for his signature Green Ginger Wine, starting a legacy that would last for generations to come.  Crabbie’s iconic elephant trademark symbolizes its heritage;  200 years ago, elephants were traditionally used by importers to explore untrodden grounds to procure ingredients.  Today, Crabbie’s is sold across the globe in a variety of refreshing drinks.”

For those of you who have never tried Ginger Beer before, you are in for a treat. Sweet, spicy and incredible refreshing. I am sitting here sipping it chilled which is my favourite way to enjoy it. BUT, if you’re in the mood for a cocktail, our friend Frankie Solarik from Barchef has created a delicious holiday recipe for us all to enjoy.

I haven’t tried the cocktail yet but am excited to pick up some more Crabbie’s before we head to Ottawa and to recreate it for my family. I encourage you to do the same this holiday season!
