Whether or not you partake in it or not, you’re likely well aware that we’re currently in the midst of “Dry January”. This is the month when many drinkers decide to take a break from alcoholic beverages after the chaos of the holiday season. Vermont’s famed WhistlePig Whiskey distillers launched a new non-alcoholic pre-mixed cocktail with a rock and roll legend to celebrate this alcohol-free month.

WhistlePig Sex, Drugs, Rock & Dry Old Fashioned

It’s called WhistlePig Sex, Drugs, Rock & Dry Old Fashioned, and it’s a collaboration with music legend Alice Cooper. It begins as a 100% Rye Non-whiskey barrel-aged in maple syrup with adaptogenic Cordyceps, Schisandra Berry, and aphrodisiac Damiana.

The result is a surprisingly complex, .5% ABV whiskey mixed drink loaded with flavors like ripe berries, wild herbs, cracked black pepper, candied citrus peels, smoky umami, and other exciting, memorable flavors.

“Last year’s Dank January release showed us that fans are here to hang loose, whatever they’re sipping this month,” Meghan Ireland, WhistlePig’s Head Blender, said in a press release. “No Dry January drinker should miss out on a high quality Old Fashioned made with real, aged Rye ‘Non-Whiskey’, nor the freedom to be obscene (even if they’re clean).”

Alice Cooper, renowned singer of hits like “No More Mr. Nice Guy”, “School’s Out”, and “Feed my Frankenstein” chimed in on this non-alcoholic cocktail as well.

“I’ve been shocking audiences for years with snakes, guillotines, and enough fake blood to fill the Grand Canyon. But now these maniacs at WhistlePig have gone and SHOCKED ME with a non-alcoholic cocktail. Sex, Drugs, Rock & Dry Old Fashioned is a lethal injection of flavors proving you don’t need to be drunk to be punk.”

Whiskey-based cocktails to make this autumn

whiskey based cocktails to make this autumn adobestock 103405955 5x3

Fall arrives like a blanket of red, gold, and orange leaves. It’s a time for warm sweaters, long pants, short days, and long nights. The air is getting crisper, and the ever-present aroma of a backyard campfire wafts from somewhere nearby. If you live somewhere that actually has seasons, it’s a beautiful time of year before the eventuality of snow. It’s also the perfect time to start shaking and stirring up warming whiskey-based cocktails.

In my years of writing about alcohol, I’ve found that there’s no better season for whiskey than autumn. Sure, winter has its place when it comes to drams of single malt Scotch whisky, bourbon, and rye. But fall is when temperatures can range from summery to frigid from day to day. If you ask me, that’s the best weather for whiskey drinks.

On the long list of things men love, near the top are cars and spirits.
