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…

This limited-edition release includes two 375ml bottles: the Yuzu Matcha Martini and the Japanese Boulevardier, priced at $41.99. Let’s dive in! The Yuzu Matcha Martini…
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. It’s one of my favorites, and if it’s ready to pour, count me in. I recently tried the Old Fashioned from Mission Craft Cocktails, and I’ve got thoughts. Curious? Keep reading….
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. I think it’s one of their newer releases, but feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. Fun fact: whiskey sours were the first whiskey-based cocktail I ever tried and…
Crown Royal Whisky Lemonade
Crown Royal has been in the ready-to-drink cocktail game for a while, but I recently discovered their Whisky Lemonade—and naturally, I had to give it a try to see if it could be my go-to refreshment on those hot summer days.

Akashi Japanese Whisky Highball
The 4th of July is just around the corner, and the heat is on—literally. So, when I spotted this Akashi Japanese Whisky Highball, I couldn’t resist grabbing one. If you didn’t know, the Highball is Japan’s most popular whisky cocktail, and honestly, this Akashi cocktail just makes sense. A highball is traditionally made with whisky,…

I’ve already tried their Manhattan and Old Fashioned—both solid choices. Now let’s see how this one measures up. I picked up a 4-pack of 100ml cocktails for…
Jameson Orange Spritz
The warm weather has finally arrived here in Massachusetts, and you know what means – it’s time to swap out the whiskey for something more refreshing. Well, sort of. Let’s bring out the whiskey cocktails! A little over two years ago, I tried the Jameson Ginger & Lime ready-to-drink cocktail and really enjoyed it. So,…
Craftmix Black Cherry Old Fashioned
I’ll admit it – Instagram ads got me. I ended up buying the Craftmix Black Cherry Old Fashioned cocktail packets. We spent $14.99 for a packet of 12, which breaks down to about $1.25 (alcohol not included). If you are not familiar, these are cocktail or mocktail packets that you can mix with either alcohol…
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…
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…
