A drink to enjoy on the beaches of Nova Scotia or Lake Ontario rather than the Caribbean, the Canadian Breeze, a close sibling to the Sea Breeze beverage, offers a fruity fusion of cherry, lemon, pineapple and whiskey. Its use of Canadian Club whiskey, rather than other international brands, distinguishes this drink from the Sea Breeze.

To prepare it, pour half a teaspoon of maraschino liqueur, a shot of Canadian Club whiskey, one tablespoon of lemon juice and one teaspoon of pineapple juice over ice. To garnish, add a skewered lemon wedge and maraschino cherry, and stir. The lemon and pineapple offer a sour twist, while the cherry liqueur softens it, adding a sweetness that blends nicely with the whiskey.
