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…

Isle of Skye Whisky 12 Year
