One Part Mixology, One Part Technology

TORONTO, Nov. 22 /CNW/ - Holiday entertaining solutions come to life this month with the launch of the new limited-edition i-bar™.  Available only in Quebec and Ontario, i-bar is a unique interactive concept that boasts five x 200ml top-selling premium spirits in one sleek package - Polar Ice vodka, Lamb's Palm Breeze rum, Malibu rum, Lamb's Black Sheep spiced rum and Wiser's Canadian whisky - available only in Quebec (and Ontario).

"The i-bar (instant bar) is a new, interactive concept that blends technology and cocktail making," says Marie-France Lavallée, Field Marketing Manager - Quebec/Atlantic for Corby Distilleries Limited. Consumers can either scan the QR code to access the i-bar mobile site or access the site online at www.ibarbasics.com to choose from 35 simple and delicious cocktail recipes. The site also includes tasting notes and a shopping list calculator.
