President Trump's trade dispute with Canada may impact cocktails, as a looming 50% tariff on Canadian spirits could raise prices at bars, restaurants, and liquor stores nationwide.
President Donald Trump's trade fight with Canada could impact cocktail lovers as a 50% tariff on Canadian spirits is expected to affect bars, restaurants, and liquor stores, potentially increasing prices of popular drinks made from these products. The looming tariff threatens to disrupt the importation of Canadian spirits used in many classic cocktails, including whiskey-based favorites like an Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour. Many bartenders are bracing for the potential price hike, which could also affect beer imports and other beverages. The tariffs are set to be imposed unless a trade agreement is reached between the US and Canada.
