Summer Cocktail
When it’s hot outside the last thing I want to do is drink whiskey. Give me a cold iced cocktail. So, I’ve got a quick recipe for you, but first, where I got the idea from. This past weekend my husband and I took my brother and sister-in-law to the GlenPharmer Distillery in Franklin, MA…

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.

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…
