| Even the thought of pouring a dram of Scottish whiskey over an ice cube -was scandalous. Now that Bourbon has replaced Scotland's aromatic export as a fav of 35 and under-one of the premier brands imported single malt whiskey-Oban (Diageo owned)- is targeting that demographic-with cocktail suggestions. It reminded us of how Sherry is gaining traction-as an alcoholic ingredient in craft sips. |
 |
| For a sweetish take on winter's staple Irish Coffee-add Coole Swan's combo of Irish whiskey, Madagascar vanilla, Belgian white chocolate + double creme into a steaming mug half filled with java. Good over ice cream too! |
 |
| Kahlúa is to many of a certain generation THE coffee liquor (actually rum + coffee liquor)-and back int he day-a Black/White Russian must. It's ready to taste up for the newly legal to drink set too...straight up or -over ice-or as a cocktail ingredient (think espresso martinis). |
 |
| COQUITO NYC -had a crowd-sipping samples of this spice (cinnamon -clove-vanilla) egg nog like Puerto Rican fav. Add rum for a holiday hit. In ready to drink-bottles. |
