It’s the final countdown for Christmas Shopping. If you
haven’t placed your online orders and you live in the Toronto area, you can
visit these great vintage stores. Or here’s an even better idea — make your
loved ones a batch of this delicious chili-chocolate liqueur. For more
information on proof brands visit www.proofbrands.com
Soma dark chocolate liqueur 1⅔ cups proof whisky • 1 cup
heavy cream • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk • 4 tbsps melted Soma chili chocolate • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract • 2 tbsp cold coffee
Place all of the ingredients in a blender and mix on high
speed for 20 seconds. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and
refrigerate. If you are giving it as a gift, bottle it in clean mason jars or
fancy bottles. Will store in refrigerator for up to 2 months. Makes about 4
cups. (TIP: if you cannot find chili chocolate add a couple of drop of chili sauce or chili bitters to your mix) (somachocolate.com)

popular favourites such as high quality rock tees, flannel shirts, dresses,
leather jackets, military jackets, boots/shoes, handbags, jewellery, and

inspiration pieces, movie rentals, and everything in between. We also stock the

Thrill of the Find is a women's clothing store specializing in new to vintage designer
fashions. Lifelong collector Mireille Watson finally opened the doors to Thrill
of the Find in 2003. Located in Toronto's Leslieville district the store has
already attracted a loyal following who have discovered some of the best in
European designer clothing Toronto has to offer. With well priced, immaculately
presented and low key helpful and knowledgeable service, it is no wonder this
boutique is no longer one of the city’s best kept secrets.
