Spirit bottles can’t speak, so it’s up to us to decide how to enjoy them. Even if a brand promotes its tequila, whiskey, rum, etc. as a “sipping spirit,” there’s nothing stopping anyone from using them in cocktails or for pouring up a round of shots. While an Old Fashioned made with Pappy Van Winkle or a Manhattan with a base of Red Hook Rye might be delicious, most bartenders’ hair would stand on end at the thought of either. So what divides spirits meant for mixing or shooting a...| VinePair
Prepping drinks for a party can be overwhelming, but one of the easiest ways to make it less stressful is by batching cocktails ahead of time. Not only does this ensure a seamless and balanced drinking experience for your guests, but it also cuts back significantly on the amount of time you’ll spend playing bartender instead of socializing. But what happens if there’s some of that cocktail batch leftover at the end of the night? Should it just be thrown out? In short, it depends. The arti...| VinePair
Few cocktails carry a built-in punchline, but the Cameron’s Kick almost begs for one. Scotch and Irish whiskey sharing the same glass? It sounds like a setup. And for this conversation, it is. Today, it’s a Scot and an Irishman tracing the story of the rare classic that unites their spirits. But who was Cameron? And what exactly was his kick? We may never know, but what we do know is this: First published by Harry McElhone in the 1920s, the Cameron’s Kick is one of the very few classic ...| VinePair
Rum continues to win hearts and fill jiggers and glasses by virtue of being one of the world’s most versatile and diverse spirits. Distilled from sugar cane juice, molasses, and other derivatives, it is crafted in column and pot stills, and matured in climates ranging from the humid Caribbean to cooler, continental warehouses. The result is a category that stretches from grassy agricoles and funky, high-ester bottlings to ultra-aged expressions that rival any whiskey. The article The 30 Bes...| VinePair
Longtime bartenders Dave McCarthy and Connor Gough had been running bars in New York City for decades. They had seen all the popular shots come and go. “When I first started bartending, it was Goldschläger; then Rumple Minze became popular; then you had Jägermeister, of course; SoCo Limes were a big thing for a while; and then Fireball came along and just destroyed everybody,” says McCarthy.

Once a decentralized spirit produced for Mexican farming families and their communities, mezcal has become an international darling. Drinkers around the world have embraced its intriguing range of flavors both neat and in cocktails, and that interest isn’t going away anytime soon. Where about 1 million liters of mezcal were produced in 2011 — mostly in Mexico’s southern state of Oaxaca — over 12 million liters were produced in 2024. That’s not just an infusion of interest, it’s an...| VinePair
