Btw I connected in YVR both times and had to reclear security. Not sure if the same if I were to pass my YYZ.
Depends on if it is handled correctly in the US. They should put it in a sealed, secure bag with the receipt. If they do that and you don't open it, then you can take with you through CATSA. They will open the bag, test the bottle, reseal the bag and then you can then take it on the plane with you. Only thing to remember is that it's a one time deal, once opened and tested by CATSA (or another airport), you can't bring it through security again.
