I am suggesting a featured spirit for each cocktail. These choices are based on my objective evaluation and are not paid advertisements. Enjoy!

Cocktail of the Week


Rye and Tonic

George Washington's colonial troops drank Michter's rye at their winter camp in Valley Forge, so what better spirit to serve at this Fourth of July weekend? The Rye and Tonic is a newly-revived classic that makes a great alternative to the Gin and Tonic.

2 ounces Michter's US*1 Striaght Rye whiksy
2 oz. tonic (or to taste)

Serve over ice.
