Ontario corn can be used to make a variety of food and household items but it can also be used in the process of whisky. Many Ontario based whisky companies source local Ontario corn for their blends! Want to purchase local whisky made from local grain corn? Check the labels at the liquor store, and purchase a whisky that is Made in Canada or uses Canadian corn. Most likely it was actually made here in Ontario!
Ingredients
- ½ oz cranberry juice
- ½ oz lime juice
- ¾ oz rosemary simple syrup (see instructions below)
- 1 oz Ontario corn whisky
- Whole frozen cranberries for garnish
Want to add extra flavour? Add orange slices for a citrusy punch!

#TrainWithGrainsTip: We made ours with Ontario corn whiskey but feel free to sub out whiskey for a different spirit, or even try it non-alcoholic! The great thing about this recipe is that is can be adjusted. If someone prefers their cocktails less sweet, add less simple syrup.
