What to make with cilantro spirit? Margaritas, of course!
Empirical Cilantro

Are you a cilantro lover or one of those unhappy folks who thinks it tastes of soap? Personally I can't get enough of cilantro, piled on top of bean chili or stuffed into a bánh mì or blitzed into fresh guacamole. One thing I've never tried, though, is a cilantro cocktail -- but that's now an option.

The brand Empirical has an unusual Cilantro spirit, with grassy green flavors and notes from tomatillo, lime, and vinegar to bolster the delicious flavors of the cilantro leaf. While that sounds like something I would quite happily glug neat by the gallon, as a lover of all kinds of savory and spicy drinks, I can acknowledge that most people are going to look to mix a 38% abv spirit into some fun cocktails.

An expert explains how to make the perfect Milk Punch
Milk Punch

The Milk Punch is one of those classic drinks which is beloved by its fans, but has a reputation of being a bit of a hassle to make at home. When working with diary you have to be careful not to split it, so typically the drink is clarified using heat and filtration. It combines brandy or bourbon, rum, sugar, and vanilla alongside the clarified milk for a creamy, boozy, comforting drink that's a little like an eggnog without the egg.

A bartending expert from BLVD Steakhouse, Kyle Davidson, has come up with his own take on the Milk Punch, which also uses clarified milk but incorporates flavors from the classic Arnold Palmer drink as well. Named for the golfing legend, the Arnold Palmer combines iced tea and lemonade, and sometimes has a shot of vodka, cognac, or bourbon added as well.
