Month: December 2017

It’s Winter Solstice and though that may mean it’s the shortest day of the year, we’ve got a long list of cocktails for you to get through! We traveled south to see what some of the top bars in Manhattan and Brooklyn were concocting with our spirits, and enjoyed everything from simple champagne sippers to flaming tiki cocktails.

Enjoy our latest Winter Cocktail Guide to New York featuring Camp Robber Whiskeyjack, Art in the Age Black Trumpet Blueberry Cordial, Von Humboldt’s Tamarind & Turmeric Cordials.

6.) Tamworth Garden Spruce Gin – $45

Citrusy, fresh evergreen elements are backed with warmth from birch oil, nutmeg, and cinnamon, while bay leaves, tarragon and gentian add woodsy depth. To tie these more unusual botanicals together, coriander and lemon peel add familiar gin flavors.

7.) Tamworth Garden New Hampshire Pommeau – $65

We combined fresh, sweet apple cider and distilled apple brandy, then aged it in a spent bourbon barrel for over a year before bottling. The resulting spirit is somewhat wine-like, with fresh apples and honey on the nose and crisp, tart apple flavors on the palate mellowed by nutty vanilla and caramel notes from the bourbon barrel.

10.) Chocorua 100% Rye Whiskey – $55

Chocorua is a straight rye whiskey, made from a single crop of organic rye grain from Maine distilled in the sour mash style. The result is a cherry-like nose and depth accented by the rye’s peppery kick.
