Celebrate America with the Return of the Old Camp Whiskey Patriot Pack

By Sam Slaughter Published April 21, 2021

For the second summer in a row, Old Camp Whiskey, which was started by Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley of the multi-platinum pop-country duo Florida Georgia Line, is bringing back special packaging that celebrates all things America while also supporting service members and their families.

The Patriot Pack is about America as can be. While the contents inside are the same — it is still the same 35% alcohol by volume Peach Pecan whiskey that the brand has been selling since 2016 — the outside has been changed to be more patriotic.

Starting, necessarily, with a star-spangled wrap, the bottle also features lyrics from the song “May We All,” which features country legend Tim McGraw. (A sampling of those lyrics, for those not in the country know: “May we all get to grow up in our red, white and blue little town/Get a one-star hand-me-down Ford to try and fix up.”)

The special edition bottle is also a nod to a partnership with the United Service Organizations (USO), a nonprofit that supports America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country throughout their service to the nation. (You may have heard of USO shows before.)

“We are excited to be working with Old Camp Whiskey and Florida Georgia Line and are glad to officially be a part of their camp. We appreciate their support of our service members and their families and thank them for their assistance in increasing awareness of the USO and our important mission,” Lisa Anastasi, Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer of the USO said in a statement.

The decision to partner with the USO and release the special edition Patriot Pack was simply for the members of Florida Georgia Line.

“Several members of my family have served in the military. My grandfather was awarded the Purple Heart in World War II and he passed away before I was born. His life story has always inspired me and I have so much respect for the bravery, resilience, and commitment that our armed forces have. To be able to support our troops in this way is a true honor,” Brian Kelley said in a statement.

The Old Camp Whiskey Patriot Pack is available at select retailers nationwide for around $20.

How to make a Solo en el Sur, a celebratory summer cocktail

Summer calls for melon drinks

Solo en el Sur cocktail.

Summer is officially here at that calls for fruit-forward cocktails. We love this option from Adiõs in Birmingham, Alabama, as it focuses on one of our favorite summer flavors in watermelon. It's a great Campari cocktail that takes on added notes from tequila, saline solution, and more.
Solo en el Sur

A dazzling cocktail, the Solo en el Sur comes to us courtesy of José Medina Camacho of Adiõs. It's a fetching red in the glass and offers the right amount of bitterness to offset the ripe watermelon notes. Which tequila to use? They suggest Altos Reposado. For the watermelon garnish, they suggest fruit that's not too ripe (and you can even pickle the rind).

From ancient brews to craft cans: the 9,000-year story of beer

The lengthy history of a well-known beverage

Beer on a wooden barrel

Beer has deep, deep roots. The stuff predates so many things, from actual religious figures and way-back eras like the Middle Kingdom of Egypt to fellow fermented beverages like wine. How beer is made has changed quite a bit over that long arc, but the amazing fact remains: it's one of the oldest beverages on earth.

Undoubtedly, the first versions of beer tasted very different than what we're accustomed to today. That's pretty much the case with most things we eat and drink (ancient Roman wine, anyone?). Regardless, humans were interested in fermenting grain several thousands of years ago and that's pretty cool to mull over.
When was beer invented?

Meet the Spicy Sauvy B: Your new favorite summer wine cocktail

Learn how to make the hottest drink of the summer

Sliced jalapenos

I consider myself something of a conundrum professionally. After all, I'm often paid to taste and write about wine. I've studied wine extensively, and I drink...well, more than my fair share of wine — we'll leave it at that. But no part of me is pretentious about this beloved beverage. Of course, I can appreciate the extravagant bottles that are auctioned for millions and all but worshiped in dusty, luxurious wine cellars. But I'm a firm believer that wine needn't be painfully expensive to be delectable, and I actually enjoy new twists and trends in the wine world that so many of my colleagues turn their noses at.

That's why I was thrilled when I saw this new wine trend making its rounds through social media. The Spicy Sauvy B was a new twist on wine with a sexy name and even more alluring simplicity. Two ingredients that seem to have been made for each other, and we're only now just starting to recognize this miraculous pairing? It just goes to show that we shouldn't be so quick to dismiss social media food trends. Because, for all the hot dog straws and other foolishness out there, there's always a great idea just waiting to be discovered.
