An unassuming industrial park off Interstate 10 near downtown Tucson is the birthplace of some of the most flavorful whiskey in America. Whiskey Del Bac , a craft distillery founded in 2011, makes single malts richly smoked with mesquite, a flavor that co-founder Stephen Paul calls “the signature aroma of the desert Southwest.” Paul was an artisan furniture maker grilling meat over leftover wood scraps when his wife, Elaine, suggested that the mesquite might be used to flavor whiskey, just as pe

It’s easy to define session IPAs by what they’re not: hard-hitting hops delivery systems with soaring ABVs. But the category has complexity all its own, ranging from dry and piney refreshers to juicy numbers rich with tropical fruit, and more. This selection of widely distributed options spans West Coast, hazy, and American IPA styles. All clock in at less than 5 percent ABV, making them ideal for those moments when you want to sustain—not up end—a good time.

Earlier this year, boats ferried guests through the canals of Mexico City’s Xochimilco to Chinampa del Sol, a pre-Hispanic floating farm that was, for that day, the site of a five-course farm-to-plate lunch paired with elegant cocktails. En route, guides from the Arca Tierra project , which connects farmers with bartenders, chefs, and consumers, explained that the many man-made islands in the canal belong to a massive agricultural project built to feed the Aztec empire centuries ago.

Fortunately, improvements have been made, from ergonomically curved rims to oversized bowls that need not be filled to the brim. Iconic in style and undeniably gorgeous, these glasses add instant elegance to the home bar.

The first addition to the Col. E.H. Taylor line in two years takes the brand back to rye, a product we haven’t seen from Taylor since its inaugural rye release in 2012. With this expression, Taylor pushes the abv to a whopping 63%. The mashbill is presumably the same as standard Taylor Rye — exclusively rye and malted barley, probably in the realm of 65%/35%, based on internet scuttle.

At Le Veau d’Or, the longstanding Upper East Side bastion of old-school French dining that recently reopened under new management, a Martini comes one of two ways: “Your way or our way.” Your way is pretty self explanatory — it’s a Martini served however you like it. But if you choose “our way,” your Martini will come in two glasses. The first looks like a Martini glass and is filled with two-and-one-half ounces of Old Raj gin, a half-ounce of González Byass dry vermouth, and a couple dashes of

While attending the Revelry Buyers Club Event in Hudson a couple months ago, I stumbled upon a very interesting pipe. Inside the carefully polished aluminum shell there appeared to be a thimble shaped insert containing ceramic balls. These balls as it turn out form the basis of the pipe… A very unique one that has a “limited” life span. What does that mean?

Here’s the thing about Labor Day weekend: Ideally, you want to do as little labor as possible. That extends to cocktails, too. You don’t want to work too hard. But you do want to drink well. Two of the easiest, tastiest in the cocktail canon are the Gin & Tonic and the Negroni. So this holiday weekend, we are going to combine the two by making a Negroni Tonic — or, for those so inclined, a Mezcal Negroni Tonic.

Working in the hospitality industry requires an immense amount of patience. The hours are long and unpredictable, service often goes awry, and dealing with clientele can be difficult, to say the least. And while most professionals are trained to keep their irritation buried deep, if there’s one thing that’s sure to test any bartender or server’s patience, it’s customers asking what could be considered stupid questions.

The world of blended whisky has become so much more focused on, in both a macro and a micro sense. Between big hitters like Johnnie Walker and Jameson’s, all the way through to the more niche, whisky nerd focused products from Compass Box, blended whisky is such a focal point for people now. How is this different to other blends? It’s certainly not unusual for you to pay $300 a bottle for something with an 18 year old age statement, but this does tackle it a little differently.
