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. The pack I picked up included four flavors: Peach, Lemon, Mango, and Blackberry. It…

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,…

Catoctin Creek Hot Honey Rye
Catoctin (Ka-tock-tin) Creek is the first legal distillery in Loudoun County Virginia since before Prohibition. It was founded by Becky and Scott Harris in 2009. I had the opportunity to sample this brand back in November, and I must admit that I’m not typically a fan of sweet whiskies or drinks. I found the samples…
Old Fashioned – Tree House Brewery

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…
Irish Whiskey and Ginger Beer Cocktail
It’s hot outside so a cold cocktail is the way to go. Now, I do love a nice Moscow Mule but why make that when we have enough whiskey to lubricate a small army. If you love Irish Whiskey and Ginger Beer… Well, you’ll enjoy this cocktail. Ingredients Lime 2 ounces Irish Whiskey (I used…
