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.

Kentucky Senator

You might wonder why a whiskey brand would call itself Kentucky Senator. Well, there’s a completely logical reason, and it’s exactly what it suggests. It's all about politics. Well, sort of. Every whiskey released by this brand is dedicated to a U.S. Senator from Kentucky. The most recent expression pays homage to John Edwards who was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates in the late 1700s.

Why Irish whiskey deserves more than just a St. Patrick’s Day toast
Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, It's time to learn about the whiskey of the Irish
Scotch

But if March is the only time of the year when you crack open a bottle of Teeling, Redbreast, or Green Spot, you’re really missing out on some exceptional Irish whiskeys for the remaining 11 months.

In my almost two decades of writing about alcohol, I’ve encountered whiskey from all corners of the globe. And I learned that there might be no whiskey style more underrated than Irish whiskey. There’s so much more to this geographically specific whiskey style than just Jameson, Bushmills, and Tullamore D.E.W. (although all of these brands deserve a spot on your home bar).
