Celebrate America with the Return of the Old Camp Whiskey Patriot Pack

For the second summer in a row, Old Camp Whiskey, which was started by Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley of the multi-platinum pop-country duo Florida Georgia Line,  is bringing back special packaging that celebrates all things America while also supporting service members and their families.

The Patriot Pack is about America as can be. While the contents inside are the same — it is still the same 35% alcohol by volume Peach Pecan whiskey that the brand has been selling since 2016 — the outside has been changed to be more patriotic.

Starting, necessarily, with a star-spangled wrap, the bottle also features lyrics from the song “May We All,” which features country legend Tim McGraw. (A sampling of those lyrics, for those not in the country know: “May we all get to grow up in our red, white and blue little town/Get a one-star hand-me-down Ford to try and fix up.”)

The special edition bottle is also a nod to a partnership with the United Service Organizations (USO), a nonprofit that supports America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country throughout their service to the nation. (You may have heard of USO shows before.)

“We are excited to be working with Old Camp Whiskey and Florida Georgia Line and are glad to officially be a part of their camp. We appreciate their support of our service members and their families and thank them for their assistance in increasing awareness of the USO and our important mission,” Lisa Anastasi, Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer of the USO said in a statement.

The decision to partner with the USO and release the special edition Patriot Pack was simply for the members of Florida Georgia Line.

“Several members of my family have served in the military. My grandfather was awarded the Purple Heart in World War II and he passed away before I was born. His life story has always inspired me and I have so much respect for the bravery, resilience, and commitment that our armed forces have. To be able to support our troops in this way is a true honor,” Brian Kelley said in a statement.

The Old Camp Whiskey Patriot Pack is available at select retailers nationwide for around $20.

Gose-style beers are perfect for spring, and these are our favorites
This salty, tart, sour beer is perfect for spring.
Gose beer

As we mentioned in an earlier post, the Gose style might be the best beer choice for spring and summer drinking. This wheat beer is top-fermented and gets a second fermentation with lactobacillus bacteria. This gives it a tart, sour flavor profile similar to your favorite sour ale. The addition of coriander and sea salt adds some spice and salinity to this very unique, refreshing beer.

On top of that, this tart, salty thirst-quencher is usually between 4-5% ABV. This results in a crushable, salty, crisp beer you won’t be able to put down even between horseshoe throws or cornhole turns.

This is how to make a proper Moscow Mule
It's the classic cocktail in a copper mug, and we're going to show you how to make a Moscow Mule
Moscow Mule with a bowl of limes

You know you've made it as a cocktail when one of the most popular ready-to-drink options is made in your name. That's the case with the Moscow Mule cocktail, the classic mix of vodka and ginger beer, preferably in a copper mug.

Here are some pro tips to keep in mind. First, select a quality vodka. The flavor may be mostly buried in the rest of the drink, but you're still after smoothness. In terms of ginger, go with a proper ginger beer instead of ginger ale. The latter is far too sweet. If you're really feeling intrepid, do as Death & Co. does below and make your own ginger syrup to couple with club soda. You'll be amazed at how much more pronounced the ginger qualities are when going this route.

How to make The Last Word cocktail, a gin classic from another era
Impress your guests and make this circa 1916 drink
Last Word cocktail

Gin often plays a prominent role within classic cocktail culture. Such is the case with The Last Word cocktail, a delightful green concoction enlivened by the aromatic clear spirit. It's a cocktail that has practically lived two lives: one as it was born during the heyday of early 20th-century American bar life and another that started about two decades ago.

How did it come about? Drinks folklore says The Last Word was devised by Frank Fogarty at the Detroit Athletic Club circa 1916. Oddly enough, Fogarty was not a bartender but an award-winning vaudeville comedian. Regardless of his progression, he came up with a damn good cocktail that uses some rather obscure ingredients.
