That’s right – it’s Tequila and it’s in a can! La Gavilana ($9.95) is new at A&B Liquor Store and comes in a 230ml aluminum can, which is the equivalent of five shots. I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that this isn’t a sipping Tequila, but it’s a great size for mixing a few margaritas and the price is pretty sweet too!

Christmas is over but we’re still officially in the holiday season, and if you’ve been cooped up at home with family, you might be suffering from Cabin Fever. The ultimate cure for such malaise has to be Cabin Fever Maple Flavored Whisky! Made with 100% Vermont maple, Cabin Fever is now available at A&B Liquor Store in two sizes: 50ml ($3.95) and 750ml ($43.95).
In order to write something about this little number, I decided to do an impromptu staff tasting. Okay, there were only three of us and it was before noon, but we all really liked it! I could really smell butterscotch, but the maple flavour came through when I tasted it. And at 40% alcohol, I was amazed that it didn’t burn on the way down.
This would be great on the rocks, or maybe with a bit of ginger ale, but I think it would be too sweet with cola. Maybe, maybe not. The Cabin Fever website has some interesting recipes to try and some of them sound delicious!

Eighteen years ago, Adrian and Beric Fabro opened A&B Liquor Store in downtown Coleman. I’m told that the first Christmas was pretty crazy. It was a busy time and every item had to be entered manually – no scanners back then!
Some things have definitely changed over the years. Here we are in Blairmore, with computers doing most of the work at the till! But some things have remained the same. It’s been busy as all get-out this Christmas too, but I hope we’re still able to add a personal touch to the products and services we provide.
A&B was built on a foundation of family and friends, and after 18 years, those building blocks remain the same. Merry Christmas to you and yours, from the A&B Family!

Who was it that decided Santa wanted MILK with his cookies? Must’ve been a dairy farmer or maybe a very clever cow. At A&B Liquor Store, we’re pretty sure Santa would love a drink of something stronger with his gingerbread. We’ve got a great selection of gift packs that the Man in Red might fancy, including:
Steam Whistle Gift Pack
Canadian Whisky Skate
Innis & Gunn Gift Pack
Ho ho ho!
It was only a matter of time, really. Everyone likes whipped cream, right? So why not add some “grain neutral spirits” and really indulge?
It’s called Whipped Lightning and we have it in three flavours: Spiced Vanilla, German Chocolate and Amaretto ($16.95). Apparently it’s not for the faint of heart though – I’ve read many reviews that say you can most definitely taste the alcohol.
According to the Whipped Lightning website, you should try it on “shooters, cocktails, martinis, coffees, or frozen beverages… as well as your favorite desserts.” I’m thinking waffles with Whipped Lightning would be a great way to start the day!
