Penelope Cocktails: Black Walnut Old Fashioned

Did you know Penelope Bourbon now offers ready-made cocktails? If you didn’t, well, I didn’t either—until recently! They currently offer three varieties, and I’ve managed to get two: the Black Walnut Old Fashioned and the Apple Cinnamon Old Fashioned. In this post, I’ll focus on the Black Walnut Old Fashioned. Stay tuned for a review…

LOCAL TO NEW ENGLAND: Miracle Pop-Up

The Miracle pop-up has officially arrived in Cambridge, MA—and it’s bringing all the holiday cheer! For all the whisky cocktail enthusiasts out there—don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

Jim Beam Bourbon and Ginger Ale

Jim Beam has entered the ready-to-drink cocktail scene, and of course, we had to see what the buzz was about. They’ve rolled out two new flavors: Bourbon & Ginger Ale and Bourbon & Cola. I managed to get my hands on the Bourbon & Ginger Ale—so let’s dive in and see how it stacks up….

Mission Craft Cocktails Old Fashioned

Keeping today’s post short and (not too) sweet—because we’re talking about this Mission cocktail. Whenever I spot a pre-made Old Fashioned, I’m all in.

Bulleit Whiskey Sour Cocktail

Just like that, September is here. To celebrate the long weekend, I treated myself to a few cocktails—one of them being the Bulleit Whiskey Sour.

Catoctin Creek Hot Honey Rye

Catoctin (Ka-tock-tin) Creek is the first legal distillery in Loudoun County Virginia since before Prohibition. It was founded by Becky and Scott Harris in 2009.

Old Fashioned – Tree House Brewery

I must admit, I had absolutely no expectations for this Tree House Brewery Old Fashioned. Allow me to elaborate. I came across this Old Fashioned when I ordered their Coquito. Unfortunately, I wasn’t a fan of their Coquito. However, I want to be transparent and mention that I am a Puerto Rican who makes my…
