Bourbon doesn’t have to be made in Kentucky. In fact, bourbon is now made in every state and some U.S. territories. And while it’s probably a stretch to call bourbon “America’s native spirit” — that title could equally go to apple brandy or rye whiskey — it’s certainly a distinctly American product anyone in the U.S.A. can make, provided they follow the rules , of course.

From craft breweries embracing rice as an adjunct in lagers, experiments with wild yeast, and reviving centuries-old brewing techniques, there are a lot of factors chang

In the modern drinks landscape, it’s easy to forget about shots — or shooters, to be more specific. Essentially miniature versions of larger-format cocktails, shooters are typically made with two or more spirits. Many of these drinks rose to prominence in the 1970s when saccharine, vibrantly colored builds were all the rage. These days, you’ll mostly find flavored shots at dive bars, likely being thrown back by people who just turned 21.
