So, this is my second time trying a King’s Creek cocktail. The first one I tried was their Whiskey Cider, and honestly, I found it a little too sweet for my taste. Because of that, I was hesitant when I saw this one. I was concerned it might have that same overly sweet profile. Still,…

Cherry Bounce by Bully Boy Distillers
It had been a long time since I’d had anything from Bully Boy. That all changed recently when my husband told me they had released a line of canned cocktails. As soon as I heard one of them featured bourbon, I was on a mission to track them down… and thankfully, I found them. For…
Toucan Old Fashioned Cocktail
This brand caught my eye because it’s not your typical ready-to-drink cocktail that you simply pour over ice and serve. With this one, you get to play bartender for a minute, no fancy equipment required. Their whole concept is that cocktails should taste as fresh as the moment they’re made. As for the name Toucan,…

With temperatures expected to reach 100 degrees in Boston today, there’s no escaping the heat.

Hochstadter’s Slow & Low Rye Old Fashioned
If you’re a whiskey lover like I am, it’s hard to beat a good Old Fashioned, especially when it’s as simple as pouring it over ice. But can a bottled version capture that same experience?

It’s getting hot here on the East Coast, meaning cocktail season is officially upon us. So, as an Old Fashioned fan, I had to find out: does this…
On The Rocks Spiced Pear Whiskey Sour

Recently, I’ve been enjoying the On The Rocks ready-to-drink lineup, and I picked up their Spiced Pear Whiskey Sour, so let’s dive in and see how it holds up. The 375 mL bottle (40% ABV) retails for $12.99 and yields…
Tree House Distillery Kola Coffee Liqueur: Banane, Cacao, Coconut
Not too long ago, I shared my thoughts on the Tree House Distillery Kola Coffee Liqueur, which I genuinely consider exceptional. So, when I spotted three additional flavors available in miniature bottles, there was really no question, I had to try them. I picked up the Liqueur Trio Gift Set, which includes three 200 mL…
Sazerac Rye Straight Rye Whiskey
Those who know me know that rye whiskeys tend to be either a complete win or a clear miss, there’s rarely an in-between. Today, though, I want to highlight a rye that firmly lands in the win column: New Orleans’ own Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey. It’s a bottle we’ve owned, finished (as you can see…
On The Rocks: Whiskey Sour
When the weather heats up, drinking whiskey on its own can feel a bit heavy. In cocktail form, however, it makes a lot more sense—particularly when convenience is part of the equation. On The Rocks partnered with Jim Beam to bottle a ready-to-drink Whiskey Sour designed to be poured straight over ice. The question remains:…
Keeper’s Heart Old Fashioned
Keeper’s Heart Whiskey is a brand that boasts impressive Irish credentials: its distiller is the renowned Irish Master Distiller Brian Nation, formerly of Jameson, Midleton Very Rare, the Spot lineup, and Powers. As a longtime fan of this brand, the moment I discovered they’d launched a ready‑to‑serve Old Fashioned, I didn’t hesitate—I had to try…
