"RumChata is one of the most popular new liqueurs in North America. It tastes great on its own, and mixes well in coffee, whisky and even cheesecake," said Shari Mogk-Edwards, LCBO Vice President of Products, Sales & Merchandising. "This has allowed it to take one-fifth of the U.S. market for cream liqueurs, outselling Bailey's in parts of the U.S."
LCBO wants you to enjoy the holiday season safely. Responsible and generous hosts always have a variety of drinks to offer guests, including "0% Cocktails" on hand. For complementary food and alcohol-free cocktail recipes, visit www.deflatetheelephant.com.
