There are patios and then there are patios: The outdoor seating area at this Mexican bistro in the Distillery is a jaw-dropper. Punchy yellow and green patio furniture pops against the brick-and-iron backdrop of the neighbourhood, while filigree metal chandeliers loom like UFOs overhead. It’s a vibrant setting for sampling ceviches (the menu features five) or splitting shrimp buckets or taco plates. But if you really want to show summer who’s boss, grab a Pineapple Smash: 4 ounces of Milagro Blanco and triple sec with coconut and pineapple juice, served in a hollowed-out pineapple husk.
