While we enjoy sipping all of our spirits simply over ice, we also enjoy cocktails! We like to keep them simple & easy to prepare. These recipes are ones our family enjoys. Many of them classics with a our own twist. Whether you’re mixing up a treat for yourself, or a batch for friends – make it your own!
We often add seltzer or sprite to create a refreshing sipping drink, but these can also be enjoyed straight!
Salute!!
