With many Canadian microdistilleries making their own gin, vodka and whisky, tequila fans might start to feel left out. Alex Lacroix and Monica Sanita fixed that with their wholly Canadian tequila, Siempre.  

In addition to enjoying it straight, you can mix up this Bellini's Abuelo, created by Brassaii's bartender, Orlando Alexander.

The spirit is now available at select LCBO.
