There are a few flavors associated with holiday desserts and treats, but none are as beloved as the minty, sweet flavor of candy canes. We enjoy these seasonal favorites from November through the New Year. And while they are an excellent, sugary, minty indulgence, they miss out on an important holiday component: booze.

The folks at Colorado’s famed Breckenridge Distillery have a real Holiday treat for you this year. Just in time for the winter months and all the parties, get-togethers, and general seasonal revelry, they’re releasing Breckenridge Candy Cane Vodka.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re on the naughty or nice list. You can grab a bottle of this festive vodka to add a little seasonal flair to your favorite cocktails. If you want to add some minty, boozy sweetness to your favorite mug of hot cocoa, this is the vodka for you. Buy it for yourself and mix with it, or put it in someone special’s stocking for a peppermint treat.

This seasonal vodka begins with a nose of spicy peppermint candy. The palate is a mix of white chocolate bark and sweet peppermint candy canes. The finish is warming, sweet, and loaded with mint flavor. After adding this vodka to your favorite winter cocktails, you won’t be dreaming about sugarplums.

Spring brings rebirth, rejuvenation, and re-releases of popular, highly sought-after whiskeys. And while there are countless rare whiskey releases in the spring, few are as beloved as Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Decanter Series. Lucky for these fans, Heaven Hill announced last week that it was releasing the Spring 2025 edition.

Mezcal isn’t just smoky tequila — and other myths debunked
It's to debunk the biggest mezcal myths
Mezcal

While tequila has been popular forever, mezcal has only found its time in the proverbial sun in the last few decades. It all started in the early aughts when social media and celebrity brands began to hit the market. It's still gaining in popularity thanks to the rise of cocktail culture and drinkers' enthusiasm for traditional and artisanal spirits.

Like with all spirits, I didn't fully understand mezcal right away. It took time (and sampling of many mezcals) to learn the ins and outs of this agave-based spirit. I also learned that, like all spirits, it's not without its myths and misconceptions.

Heritage De Oppresso Liber

In partnership with the Green Beret Foundation, Heritage is releasing a premium whiskey called De Oppresso Liber. It’s a reference to the Green Beret’s motto, which translates to “to free the oppressed.” This five-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon was bottled at 122 proof (61% ABV) to pay homage to the year in which President John F. Kennedy visited Fort Bragg to authorize the donning of the green berets by the U.S. Army’s elite Special Forces Regiment.
