Lighthouse Lemonade produces artisanal citrus cordials from an old Maritime family recipe, which pre-dates Canadian confederation. The brand pays homage to founder Jill Fisher’s roots by featuring the Cape Jourimain Lighthouse at the edge of New Brunswick, minutes away from PEI’s Confederation Bridge and close to Jill’s hometown Sackville. Jill is a direct descendant of a Father of Confederation (Charles Fisher), a graduate of Stratford Chefs School, an Ironman triathlete and mother to 4 kids. Lighthouse Lemonade’s claim to fame dates back to 2011, when it was served to the Prince and Princess of Wales (William and Kate) at the Rideau Hall royal reception on Canada Day during their first official visit to Canada.

Lighthouse Lemonade’s cordials are still made today using simple ingredients, with no artificial flavours, preservatives or dyes. Each bottle makes 7 litres of lemonade when mixed with water! The cordials are perfect all year long in alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, desserts and marinades (check the website for recipes).
