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…
Bols Cocktails Very Old Fashioned
I saw this little guy as we were checking out and it magically ended up in my cart because I’m always on a mission to find a perfectly delicious ready-made cocktail. Also, how could I pass this up their claim that it’s the world’s oldest cocktail brand, that’s what sold it for me. This cocktail…
Wandering Barman Boomerang Old Fashioned
I’m always on the lookout for easy pre-made cocktails. I found this little guy on a recent visit to Whole Foods. Wandering Barman is a brand out of Brooklyn, New York, started by previous bartenders, waiters, and restaurant managers with years of experience. Boomerang is an Old Fashioned with bourbon whiskey, Tree juice maple syrup,…

Sagamore Spirit Rye Whiskey and Sagamore Spirit Pineapple “Ryegarita” Cocktail
Now here’s a whiskey I wasn’t sure about when I bought it. If I’m being truthful, I bought the bottle because it was affordable and because I wanted to taste the whiskey before I tried their ready-to-drink cocktail. The upside, it was a smart move. This rye is smooth. No, not revolutionary but good and…
Batch and Bottle: Glenfiddich Scotch Manhattan and Monkey Shoulder Lazy Old Fashioned
Still hot outside so bring on the cocktails! Batch and Bottle is a brand by William Grant and Sons, the company behind brands that include Glenfiddich and Monkey Shoulder. These Ready-To-Drink cocktails are 375ml and I purchased each one for $16.99. Glenfiddich Scotch Manhattan (30% ABV): On the nose you immediately get Glenfiddich. Served neat…
WhistlePig Ginger Fashioned
I spy with my little eye another WhistlePig Cocktail To-Go. This time, a Ginger Fashioned. I’ve tried their Orange Fashioned and absolutely loved it. It’s a cocktail I would certainly bring to someone’s house so they could enjoy it, but is this one just as good? This Ginger Fashioned I’d made using their 6-year PiggyBack…
Jameson Ginger and Lime
Jameson chose to enter the ready-made cocktail scene with a 6% ABV Ginger and Lime in a can. It was released on St. Patrick’s Day and is made of Jameson whiskey (off-course), natural ginger and lime flavors but the beautiful caramel color of the cocktail comes from caramel color. You get four 355ml cans for…
