Ming River is a smooth introduction to one of the most important spirits in the world: baijiu. This Chinese spirit is made from predominantly fermented sorghum, which is distilled into a vibrant spirit, unlike anything you’d find in the West.

Tequila’s moment as America’s “it” spirit is far from over. It may even be getting stronger as other categories struggle. A recent report published by beverage data analytics firm ISWR indicated that agave spirits — a space primarily driven by tequila — was the only alcohol category to experience growth in the U.S. in 2023. This sustained popularity coincides with a market increasingly flooded with new tequilas.

Muhammara & a Rock uses infusions of each of the ingredients used in the dish, a flavorful amalgamation of roasted red peppers, walnuts and spices, to create a savory, smoky and nutty libation.
