It probably doesn’t shock you to hear that thick glass bottles have heavy environmental footprints. What might be more surprising is how much of a problem glass presents for wine, an industry deeply connected to the climate. I’ve seen estimates that glass is responsible for anywhere from 29% to 50% of wine’s carbon impact. As a result, ecologically minded producers are experimenting with new ways to package wines.

And almost as soon as there was a Whiskey Cocktail, there were variations, modifications, and “improvements” — small tweaks that generally stuck to the template but altered the drink with clever additions. In the past, those variations were primarily the domain of professional bartenders with access to a wide selection of unusual imported ingredients.
