Tag: Canadian alcohol

The term "26" for a bottle of alcohol is a uniquely Canadian reference, originating from the previous 26-ounce imperial measurement. Today, this measurement is standardized to a 750 mL bottle, a conversion made during the metrication of Canada. This nickname, also known as a "two-six," persists as part of the local lexicon for liquor sizes, distinguishing it from international standards.

Despite popular belief and a common association with spirits, the iconic US version of Twisted Tea does not contain vodka but is instead a malt beverage. This fundamental distinction, and a major regional exception, are often the source of widespread confusion among consumers.
