Fire pits have become hot, in every sense, as more of us brave the cold than usual, heading out to our gardens in the evening. Mine’s more a big metal bowl rather than an actual pit, but it has the same effect, and in these difficult times I’ve found comfort in sitting under the stars beside a crackling, glowing pile of logs. With a glass tumbler in gloved hand, from time to time.
What to put in it, though? A “normal” table wine just doesn’t cut it on a frosty January night. Unfortified red or white isn’t hearty enough to cope with the strange mix of hot and cold temperatures, and the smoke-filled air (both a little palate-numbing); instead you need to turn up the volume with something more robust and full-bodied. And probably sweeter as well, since sugar helps to drive out the cold. Port seems too Christmassy, so I’m turning to liqueurs instead. ....

If there’s anything we’re looking forward to during the holidays, it’s celebrating.
We’ll have to safely do so in our own homes, but that comes with its own set of perks. We get to put on classic records, break out the board games, dust off our holiday recipes, and rediscover some of our favourite sips of the season (Baileys, we see you).
BC Liquor Stores have a wide selection of holiday favourites to celebrate with this season. Whether you’re looking forward to a favourite bottle you haven’t had in a long time, hoping to make a new tradition, or planning to surprise someone with the perfect gift under the tree (or at their doorstep), BCL has you covered. ....
