I found a great brand of cocktail mixers and rimmers called Stirrings, at the Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards a few weeks ago. I tried three of their flavours: Mango Margarita, Lemon Drop and Green Apple. My favourite was the green apple, which was dead simple to make - just add vodka and shake with ice. The Lemon Drop was nice and tart, and would work really well with gin if you're looking for a break from vodka.
Checking out their web site http://www.stirrings.com/ I saw they also offer floral and herbal essences, which look amazing. There's a lavender one that I'd really like to try. They have some creative recipes posted, too.
I saw some of these products available at Gourmet Warehouse on Hastings in Vancouver a few weeks ago, and expect you can find them in other specialty food stores.
Cheers!
