LEMO Lemonade syrups are hand zested, juiced and bottled in small batches in Montreal's Mile-Ex neighbourhood. They are based on a 100-year-old family recipe and while they can be enjoyed simply mixed with water, they also happen to be a great cocktail enhancer.

We love this refreshing gin based cocktail using their original syrup and lavender. The syrups (Original, Sour Lemo and Spiced Lemo) are available for purchase in their online store, as well as at BYOB Cocktail Emporium in Toronto.
