The cocktail renaissance in America in the early aughts has led to a renewed interest not only in the craft of cocktailing, but home mixology. If you have a few bottles of whiskey, rum, gin, vodka, or tequila at home, there’s a chance you also have some ingredients to whip up a cocktail or two when your friends stop by. But wouldn’t you rather have a fully curated home cocktail kit from a popular distillery?

Lucky for you, the distillers at Garrison Brothers are here to help up your home cocktail game. Founded in 2006, the Hye, Texas-based distillery is the first and oldest legal bourbon distillery in the Lone Star State. Recently, it announced the launch of a series of home cocktail kits.

What goes around comes around, again and again. Certainly the culinary world knows as much, just consider the slow food movement or even a good Cosmopolitan cocktail recipe, back in its best forms since, well, the 90s. The latest thing to reemerge is slow-cooked chicken on a spit.

Yes, rotisserie is back and arguably better than ever. Like most things, the epicenter of the movement is taking place in New York City, but it's spread to other food-friendly towns, from Portland to Providence. Maybe we never wanted to let the style go. Maybe we're reliant on a relatively cheap protein in this wobbly economy. Regardless, there's no denying the deeply comforting sensation that is chowing down on some.
