Comments Off on Enjoy summer festivities like a VIP
At Best of Toronto, we talk a lot about “Experiencing Toronto Better” (and maybe sometimes do). So what does that mean?
I think it can mean a lot of things including discovering great dining, restaurants, shopping opportunities and, of course, attending some of the best events in Toronto with your friends. Knowing about and attending a top event or concert is great but it gets even better with American Express cardmember privileges, making your routine purchases even better.

Comments Off on La Société introduces its new summer Le Cocktail menu
August 5th was a beautiful day in Toronto; a perfect summer day to visit La Société to check out their new Le Cocktail menu. The restaurant would be introducing five new cocktails, the creations of sommelier, cocktail designer, and mixologist Kyle Stefanato.
The five new summer cocktails on the Le Cocktail menu are:
Watermelon Julep – Makers Mark bourbon, peach schnapps, fresh watermelon, mint, fresh lime. This was my favourite cocktail of the evening. It was refreshing and light – like summer in a glass.
Watermelon Julep
Summer’s Negroni – Brokers gin, aperol, Dolins dry sec, grapefruit bitters, grapefruit essence. This was a great take on the classic negroni – a summer version that’s lighter tasting.

Spice of Life – chili infused casadores reposado tequila, elderflower liquer, pear juice, fresh lime. This was another favourite, with the chili providing a flavour punch.
Spice of Life
Peach Mule – peach infused 3 year old Eldorado rum, Caton french ginger liquer, ginger beer, fresh lime and ginger. Even though it’s called a peach mule, the peach flavour was more subtle compared to the ginger elements. Nevertheless, it was delicious.

Absinthe Suissese – absinthe, orgeate almond syrup, orange flower water, egg white, orange zest. This was probably the most decadent of the cocktails tonight. If you like absinthe, you’ll enjoy this drink.

Along with the cocktails, we also sampled some snacks which included, the tuna tartare, seafood ceviche, grilled cheese sandwiches, and the LS burger. Everything was delicious, as we’ve come to expect at La Société.

All of the cocktails on the new Le Cocktail menu were thoughtfully crafted and complex. The components worked harmoniously together, leaning towards a bright and refreshing flavour profile, representative of summer. Definitely worth a visit to Le Sociéte to give these a try!
La Société is located at 131 Bloor St. W in Toronto’s Yorkville neighbourhood.
