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.

Up your American single malt whiskey game with Minden Mill’s single estate whiskey

Minden Mill has a new American single malt whiskey perfect for Scotch drinkers

Minden Mill

As if you needed a reason to get into American single malt whiskey, the distillers at Minden Mill Distilling just announced the release of Minden Mill American Single Malt Whiskey. Made from locally sourced ingredients near the Sierra Nevada mountain range in the Nevada desert, this is about as far away from Scotland as possible. Yet, you won't find many American single malt whiskeys that taste more like their counterparts from across the pond.
Minden Mill American Single Malt Whiskey

This terroir-driven whiskey is made with 100% estate-grown barley malted on-site. It's mashed with M1 yeast and water from the brand's well outside the distillery. It's distilled in dual, all-copper Forsyth stills crafted in Speyside, Scotland. It's matured for five years in a combination of Oloroso sherry, ex-bourbon, and American oak as well as re-charred wine and sherry butts. All in climate-controlled barrelhouses designed to mimic the temperature and humidity found in Speyside.

What is triple sec? The underrated hero of your favorite cocktails

What exactly is triple sec?

Bottles

When you write about alcohol for almost two decades, you tend to learn at least a little about sometimes overlooked spirits, liqueurs, and cocktail ingredients. While I’ve spent a long time learning about (and drinking) bourbon, single malt Scotch, rye whiskey, tequila, gin, rum, and even vodka, sometimes the lesser thought of spirits are the most interesting. This is the case with triple sec.

If you’re a fan of cocktails, especially the Margarita, Sidecar, or Cosmopolitan and more, you know all about the prowess of triple sec. But while you know that it adds flavor to your favorite cocktail, do you really know what those flavors are? Also, what exactly is triple sec.
