Volatile Maple Beverages

This Sweet Beer Cocktail is a Canadian Spin on Legendary Irish Car Bombs

— March 26, 2015 — World
Irish Car Bombs have made a splash throughout bars across the globe, but this alternative sweet beer cocktail is prepared with a pinch of patriotism for an unexpected country. Featuring ingredients of the Canadian persuasion, this recipe lets inhabitants of the Great White North mix up explosive alcoholic drinks that reference their own homeland.

To make Canadian Carbombs, BC Living instructs the bartender to fill a shot glass up halfway with Alberta Premium Rye Whiskey, topping the other half off with pure Canadian maple syrup. Next, you pour a pint of good old Molson Canadian beer and hand the pair of beverages to the person prepared to drink them. Finally, simply drop the shot into the schooner and guzzle the sweet beer cocktail as it begins to froth. It's great for Canada Day celebratory consumption!
Trend Themes
1. National Twist on Classic Cocktails - Incorporating local ingredients and traditions into recipes for beloved cocktails, such as the Canadian twist on the Irish Car Bomb, can offer a fresh and unique experience for customers.
2. Maple-based Beverages - Maple syrup can be a versatile ingredient in sweet alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, providing a distinct sweetness and depth of flavor.
3. Sustainable Sourcing of Local Ingredients - Patrons may appreciate knowing that ingredients used in their drinks are sourced locally and in a sustainable manner, potentially leading to increased customer loyalty.
Industry Implications
1. Alcohol and Beverage Manufacturing - Manufacturers can experiment with incorporating local ingredients and traditional flavors to create unique beverages for consumers to enjoy.
2. Hospitality and Tourism - Bars and restaurants can feature unique twists on classic cocktails, such as the Canadian Carbomb, to attract customers and offer a memorable experience.
3. Sustainable Agriculture - Sourcing maple syrup and other local ingredients from sustainable agriculture practices can be a selling point for bars and restaurants, offering customers the satisfying feeling of supporting a sustainable supply chain.
