If you didn’t know, today is National Gin & Tonic Day. It’s the perfect day to enjoy this refreshing, simple, elegant cocktail.

To celebrate the holiday and ten years of being available in the US market, Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is launching a new, immersive campaign.

Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin: A Curious Irish Adventure

This 360° campaign celebrates the global journey inside every bottle of Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin. It all began in 2004 in rural Ireland, where a man named P.J. Rigney started his gin journey. Instead of settling for only traditional gin herbs and botanicals, he wanted to create something different and unique. His quest led him to nine countries to find twelve botanicals. The result was an innovative gin loaded with exotic ingredients, including gunpowder tea.

The campaign highlight is the “Botanical Trail,” a storytelling experience designed to let gin fans in on the origins of the different herbs and botanicals included in the gin. This includes Germany, Morocco, Romania, Macedonia, India, Indonesia, Cambodia, and China. The brand picked National Gin & Tonic Day because it is the perfect day to celebrate the juniper-driven, botanical spirit.

“Gin & Tonic Day is more than just a celebration of a classic cocktail—it’s an invitation to explore new flavors,” Andrew Eis, Vice President Brand Excellence – Spirits for Palm Bay International says.

“Every sip of the signature G&T is a journey, infused with exotic botanicals and a bold spirit of curiosity. We hope that when gin lovers seek something truly unique, they reach for Gunpowder Irish Gin.”

Tip Your Hat to Stetson Bourbon: The Natural Evolution of America’s Most Iconic Western Brand

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Stetson. You know the name. You proudly wear the hats. Now get to know its bourbon. America’s most iconic Western brand is launching Stetson Bourbon, touted as a “super-premium, high-rye proprietary blend distilled and bottled in Bardstown, Kentucky.” The brand, created in 1865 by John B. Stetson, who invented and perfected the cowboy hat, is bringing the same quality and craftsmanship to its bourbon, blended by Kentucky Master Blender Dan Callaway.

The launch has been a long time coming, resulting in a bottle and spirit worthy of the Stetson name. After a three-year journey of sourcing and tasting, Stetson found its ideal blender and two of the most respected bourbon producers in Kentucky, Green River Distilling Co. and Bardstown Bourbon Company.

Force of Nature is elevating the meat delivery game

An old high school buddy recently hosted a boys’ weekend at his farm in Virginia. We spent two glorious days fishing, cooling off in swimming holes, and sipping whiskey at sunset. Before I headed back to New York, he sent me off with a box full of frozen venison. He had harvested the deer the previous fall, and a local game processor had turned it into sausages, backstrap, and steaks.

Back in Brooklyn, I seared the lean, ruby-red cutlets in French butter, spooned over a dollop of cherry jam, and paired them with a bottle of Daou Soul of a Lion. My girlfriend agreed: it was one of the finest—and healthiest—dinners I’ve ever cooked.

New tequila finished in mole-seasoned barrels celebrates two UNESCO-recognized Mexican traditions

A new limited-edition tequila is bringing together two of Mexico’s most celebrated cultural traditions in a single bottle. Reserva de la Familia, the luxury tequila brand from Jose Cuervo, has unveiled Private Cask Collection Edition No. 2: Mole Cask, the first tequila finished in mole-seasoned barrels.

The release highlights the deep connection between Mexico’s culinary and distilling heritage. The tequila begins its journey in the agave fields surrounding Tequila, Jalisco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognized for its historic agave landscape and tequila production. It is then finished in barrels seasoned with mole, one of Mexico’s most iconic dishes and part of the country’s UNESCO-recognized Intangible Cultural Heritage of traditional cuisine.
