Sip Local, Taste the Maritimes

Sip Local, Taste the Maritimes

May 30, 2025

At The Grill, we believe that what goes into your glass should reflect the spirit of the place you're in. That's why we're proud to introduce our signature seasonal cocktail: the Blueberry Lemonade — crafted with Van Dyk's Wild Blueberry Juice, fresh lemonade, vodka, and a splash of limoncello.

It's a vibrant, refreshing drink that captures the essence of summer and the richness of Nova Scotia's local harvests.

A Local Favourite, Reimagined

Wild blueberries are more than just a fruit in Nova Scotia — they're a symbol of our land, our farmers, and our deep agricultural heritage. Van Dyk's by Nature, based in Caledonia, has been crafting 100% pure wild blueberry juice for over 40 years, using berries grown in the rugged soils of Nova Scotia's South Shore.

Their juice is unsweetened, unfiltered, and packed with antioxidants — an ideal base for a cocktail that's as wholesome as it is flavourful.

The Perfect Pour

Pair that with the bright zing of fresh lemonade, the smoothness of premium vodka, and a touch of limoncello, and you've got a drink that's both elegant and easy-drinking. Whether you're sipping it on our patio overlooking Summerville Beach or enjoying it indoors with a sunset view, the Blueberry Lemonade is the perfect companion to a Maritime moment.

Why Local Matters

By choosing local ingredients, we're not only delivering exceptional taste — we're supporting Nova Scotia's producers, reducing our environmental footprint, and offering our guests a true taste of place. It's a small but meaningful way to celebrate the people, the land, and the flavours that make this region so special.


So next time you visit The Grill, raise a glass to local. Try our Blueberry Lemonade and experience how the Maritimes taste in every sip.
