The unofficial kickoff to summer in Canada is finally here ; Victoria Day Weekend, or as most of us affectionately call it, the May 2-4! This classic Canadian long weekend is all about bonfires, barbecues, fireworks, and of course, enjoying your favourite beverages in good company.
Ever wonder why we call it the “2-4”? It’s not just about the May 24th date. It’s a clever nod to our national love of beer, a 24 pack, or “2-4”, is the go-to for weekend celebrations. And here in Toronto, where patios and park hangs reign supreme, the drink choices are as diverse as the city itself.
So, what are people sipping this May long weekend?
Classic Favourites:
- Domestic Beer: You can never go wrong with a cold Molson Canadian to toast the weekend.
- Crisp White Wine: A bottle of Tocornol Sauvignon Blanc is perfect for sun-soaked afternoons.
- Vodka & Soda: Clean, simple, and refreshing, vodka is a staple at every backyard party.
Trending Choices:
- Champagne Breakfast: Start your long weekend mornings with orange juice and Prosecco and give a cheers for sunny days and sleeping in.
- Craft Spirits: More people are exploring premium gins, bourbons, and tequilas for elevated cocktail experiences.
- Ready-to-Drink Coolers: These are still a hit thanks to convenience and variety and White Claw is our favourite!
