Raise a glass to Canadian craftsmanship and support Canadian Crown Royal workers
Toronto – January 19, 2026 - Whether you’re catching up with friends or winding down at home, a good drink is about more than just what’s in your glass. It’s about tradition, craftsmanship and the people who make it possible. For generations, Crown Royal has been part of moments shared across Canada, and it’s proudly made right here at home by Canadian union workers: UFCW Local 832 members in Gimli, Manitoba, and UFCW Local 501 members in Valleyfield, Quebec.
Try these easy Crown Royal recipes at home:
-
Crown Royal & Ginger
A timeless favourite that’s as easy as it is refreshing. Pour Crown Royal over ice, top with ginger ale, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime. Simple, smooth, and perfect for any occasion. -
Crown Royal Maple Old Fashioned
Give a classic cocktail a Canadian twist. Stir Crown Royal with a splash of real Canadian maple syrup and a few dashes of bitters. Serve over ice and garnish with an orange peel. -
Crown Royal Apple Smash
Bright and refreshing with a touch of sweetness. Mix fresh apple slices and mint with lemon juice, add Crown Royal and ice, then shake and strain. Ideal for sharing with friends or relaxing at home.
Right now, it’s more important than ever to remember who’s behind the label. The Crown Royal on Canadian shelves is still made by hardworking UFCW members, and political stunts or boycotts don’t hurt corporations — they hurt workers and families. Choosing Crown Royal is a small but meaningful way to stand with Canadian union jobs.
So next time you pour a drink, raise your glass to the people who make it possible. To quality, to solidarity, and to Canadian craftsmanship. Learn more about union-made Canadian products at UFCW Canada’s Great Canadian Food Products page— and make every sip count.
