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.”

World Cup 2026 ends with a bang this weekend with two heavyweights meeting in the final. Argentina will face Spain to see who is the top squad on planet earth. If Argentina pulls it off, it'll be the first back-to-back champion scenario since Brazil in 1962.

That calls for a great cocktail recipe. With Argentina on the brain, we're doing as they do. The South American country loves some Fernet, so we're highlighting a simple but satisfying drink made with the iconic Italian amaro.

The smoothest bourbons for fans new to the whiskey style
Let's take a deep dive into "smooth" bourbons
Buffalo Trace

In some whiskey circles, the word “smooth” is considered to be a bad term to describe bourbon. That’s because it’s thought to be a little too vague and doesn’t really describe the spirit at all. Obviously, its simplicity doesn’t do the whiskey style justice.

But if you ask me, there’s no better, simpler way to describe America’s “native spirit” if you’re a beginner. There are a variety of reasons why bourbon is referred to as “smooth,” and I’m not here to shame drinkers if they want to use the phrase. Especially novice drinkers who are just learning the terminology. That said, if you’re new to whiskey, there are countless smooth, gateway bourbons perfectly crafted to get you started on your corn-based journey.

That's why it's actually worth checking out their Artist Series, where the City Edition puts artist Alexandra Pacula's work on eleven bottles for a slew of cities: New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Dubai, Delhi, Mumbai, Singapore, Seoul, Sydney, and Melbourne.
