The Best Cocktails in Montreal: Where to go

meilleurs cocktails montreal

It is difficult to agree on the true origins of cocktails and their varying names. However, the days of prohibition in the United States were undoubtedly a major player in the creation of this type of alcoholic beverage. During this era in America, the only alcohol that was available had to be produced illegally. The resulting liquor often tasted awful and was incredibly strong, which meant it had to be mixed with something tastier in order for people to drink it. And voilà, cocktails were born.

Cocktails are more popular today than ever, and the simple equation of mixing different alcohols with various ingredients leaves a lot of room for creativity. By manipulating the flavours, colours and quantities of a drink’s ingredients, mixologists are now creating increasingly inventive and delicious beverages. Mixology is an art! Whether simple or elaborate, during happy hour or as a night cap, we truly love a good cocktail. Whatever your preferences, there is sure to be an address on this list that you’ll love!
