WHAT: Iceberg Vodka
IN HONOUR OF: Rock Hudson
WHERE: St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador
WHY: Feature this: after filming the fight scene in Giant, one of the most magnificently butch scraps in Hollywood history, Rock Hudson might retire to his trailer in the company of none other than Elizabeth Taylor, whereupon they would concoct and consume that consummate girlie drink the chocolate martini. They just don’t make closets like that any more. But you can make drinks like that. Start with the Canadian-made, Canadian-owned, super-smooth Iceberg vodka.
PRICE: 750 ml/$25.40
AVAILABILITY: At most liquor stores (product #400754)
