Libby Lingua, owner/operator, Highball , Phoenix “Undoubtedly the rise of the shot straw, a personal shot luge contraption designed to deliver a chaser and a shot simultaneously. As a bartender, I hate this, mostly because I think it is dangerous and encourages reckless binge drinking behavior. Cocktails should be savored.”

Whether you’re making a spirit-forward Old Fashioned that calls for a high-proof whiskey or you want a lighter, fruitier style for your highball, there’s a bottle below that will complement any mood. This allows the spirits to really cut through and be the leading stars of the cocktail.”

It is a blended malt Scotch whisky, so has incredible body and mouthfeel but with a really balanced, non-smoky, approachable flavor profile that hits home in a classic Old Fashioned , a refreshing highball, or even a Piña Colada. Though it is not the cheapest, it creates exotic and complex sours, highballs, and Negronis.”

At 100 proof, it’s a standout in stirred classics alongside sugar, bitters, or vermouths, but doesn’t punch out softer mixers like citrus or bubbles in highballs or sours.” It’s high-proof, but its structured flavor notes make for a resplendent yet approachable pour. It’s transparent, memorable, and delicious. As simple as that!”
