After falling in love with Redwood Empire, Emerald Giant Rye I simply had to try more from this Sonoma County, CA, Distillery.

I’ve always loved an easy ready to drink cocktail. It takes the bartending work away and all you need to do is pour over ice and enjoy.

This Old Fashion and a Manhattan Cocktail (in…
