Toronto bar Civil Liberties has earned a reputation for creativity, ditching the traditional cocktail menu and mixing custom drinks on the spot based on the preferences and specifications of their guests. They’re known for making adventurous use of obscure liquors and unexpected spices and botanicals. It’s no surprise, then, that this world-class cocktail destination has been crowned the Best Bar in Canada three years running.
Civil Liberties now has a sister company! Civil Pours, founded in 2022, is dedicated to crafting premium ready-to-drink cocktails worthy of the esteemed bar’s reputation.
They’re also pioneering a more sustainable, environmentally responsible cocktail. Civil Pours teams up with partners in the hospitality industry to divert food waste products from bars and kitchens, upcycling them into unique distillates that add depth and flavour to each bottle. Avocado pits salvaged from Mexican restaurants lend their nutty essence to the Whisky Sour; spent cacao husks leftover from chocolate production flavour the Espresso Martini.
Vacuum distilling these ingredients at low temperatures preserves their full vibrancy, with a lower carbon footprint than conventional liquor production methods. Using these distillates, rather than the perishable fresh ingredients used in traditional batch cocktails, also creates a beverage that’s stable enough for long-term storage without sacrificing flavour or relying on artificial additives.
It all adds up to a great cocktail that you can feel good about! The perfect addition to your late-summer dinner parties, camping trips, and date nights. Find Civil Pours on the shelves at all three MRKTBOX locations today.
