It’s an accepted truth in the drinks world that no spirit demonstrates as much diversity in style and breadth of range as rum. But while rum and its sugarcane kin have long been celebrated in carefree cocktails evoking the tropics, rum’s true story is much deeper, and sometimes darker. We’re taking a closer look at rum. But we’re also looking at the people and cultures with which rum’s history is indelibly entwined.

From its Italian origins in the 19th century—when supposedly the soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire would purportedly dilute the wines of the Veneto region with a splash (or spritz in German) of soda water—to the modern ubiquity of the Aperol Spritz, the loosely defined cocktail has proved its staying power. The spritz benefits from being as easy to make as it is to drink, with the name itself conjuring onomatopoeic refreshment and visions of leisurely days in sunny locales.

Within the American whiskey community, independent bottlers seek to transparently feature exceptional casks from some of the best small distillers. If an independent bottler chooses to work with a distiller, it can usually be taken as a sign that a small distiller has “arrived.” Bottlings from producers such as Two Souls Spirits and Lost Lantern can

They’re easy to make and to drink, and make even the stickiest summer evening a little bit breezier. Lately, I’ve been making spritzes with Le Moné aperitif wine from New York’s Finger Lakes region. Made with Meyer lemons and agave nectar, it’s tart and satisfyingly viscous, and the ABV clocks in at just 16%.

Ever come across a movie that has a 32 percent audience score but 90 percent critics score? That’s kind of like Riesling. Many wine drinkers avoid the grape due to its reputation as “sweet,” while sommeliers and wine professionals sing its praises as a complex, age-worthy, high-acid wine. In reality, Riesling takes on a wide range of expressions. Many examples are bone dry with laser-like acidity and a crisp mineral edge, while others offer ripe fruit flavors and, yes, a slight hint of sweetness

One of the main takeaways from “Castaway” and “Robinson Crusoe” is that being stranded alone on a deserted island would be — to put it lightly — a pretty dismal existence. Food isn’t a guarantee, inanimate objects become your only friends (looking at you, Wilson ), and you don’t know if or when you’ll ever be able to leave. Another losing quality in this scenario: Alcohol would likely be in short supply.
