A drink plan for everyone
Good hosting includes zero-proof options considered with the same care as wine.
Hospitality means caring for every guest who walks through the door, including those who choose not to drink alcohol. Offering non-drinkers only tap water or overly sweet soda is a missed opportunity for genuine hospitality.
Work with your bar team to curate two bespoke zero-proof cocktails made with artisanal botanical spirits, house-made shrub syrups, and fresh citrus. Serve them in the same elegant crystal glassware as the craft cocktails so non-drinking guests feel equally celebrated and included in every toast.
Curate an Ontario-forward wine selection featuring low-intervention pinot noirs from Prince Edward County and crisp rieslings from Niagara Peninsula.
