A mojito spiked with kaffir lime, litchi and aloe?  A spicy sake sour with a cucumber twist? It’s a new year with a new cocktail menu.

Time Out Market Montréal, home to 6 bars including downtown’s newest wine bar, is pulling out all the stops with a new killer cocktail menu.

Inspired by some of the best chefs and restaurants in the city under one roof, Time Out Market Montréal has created a new cocktail menu just in time for the new year. 

Celebrating the best of Montreal’s culinary scene, the Market menu’s diverse flavours and a sustainability twist, these new cocktails are equally delicious as they are good for the environment.

From a velvety smooth espressotini that uses Tunnel Espresso’s upcycled coffee grounds to an addictively delicious Banana Maï Taï featuring a Haitian tea made from discarded plantain peels, pair your next dish from the Market with one (or two) of these next-level cocktails.
