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…

Apple Bourbon Mule – Mixed Up Canned Cocktails
We are officially a week away from Halloween and what better way to toast than with a fall cocktail you don’t even have to make yourself. I stumbled across these at Trader Joe’s and bought a pack of 4 for $15 and it states that one can has two servings. This means there are 8…
Jack Daniel’s No. 7 and Coke Zero
Now here’s a fun thing we stumbled across recently and of course I had to get it. We purchased a pack of four at $12 which puts each can at $3. That’s a great price for the amount you pay at a restaurant for a Jack and Coke. To me, this idea by the brands…
Crown Royal Whisky Sour cocktail with Black Cherry
Back in my younger days my go to cocktail was a Whisky Sour, along with an Amaretto Sour. I’ve outgrown these cocktails but when I saw Crown Royal came out with a ready-made Whisky Sour, I had to get it. This ready to serve cocktail is made with blended Canadian Whisky, lemon juice, black cherry,…
Baileys Cinnamon Churros and whiskey Cocktail
Well, hello Fall! I know, it’s been a while since I’ve posted, the hot weather contributed to my lack of inspiration. But we are back with a quick whiskey cocktail perfect for this time of year.

The Glenlivet Twist and Mix Old Fashioned
Last week I reviewed The Glenlivet Twist and Mix New Manhattan. This week, let’s talk about their Old-Fashioned ready-made cocktail. Like the New Manhattan, twisting the cap releases a mixture that goes into the cocktail. The Old Fashioned is also a 375ml bottle at 40% ABV and retails for $21. This cocktail is not bad…
The Glenlivet Twist and Mix New Manhattan
Glenlivet has entered the ready-made cocktail chat and have released this New Manhattan and Twist and Mix Old Fashioned. I had both today, but I’ll be talking about their Manhattan. This cocktail is made from The Glenlivet single malt Scotch and natural flavorings. What’s neat, twisting the cap releases a mixture that goes into the…
Manhattan 1792
I do love a good ready-made cocktail. I find them affordable and for the most part a lot better than what some bartenders serve you. So, my mission is to try as many of them as possible, so you don’t have to. This Manhattan 1792 is by Original Cocktails by Heublein and is bottled by…
Tip Top Proper Cocktails
The warmer it gets outside the less whisky I drink. Fear not, it’s still chilly in Massachusetts but we recently saw these little ready-made cocktails and I couldn’t help but get them. I purchased the Manhattan and the Old Fashioned at $4.99 each. I only purchased one can of each, but you can purchase an…

This is a small batch product using their Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon, cream and according to the bottle, a hint…
