The Raymond Ragnaud Pineau des Charentes is made by combining 2/3 unfermented grape must (containing no alcohol) with 1/3 young Cognac at about 60% alcohol. The strength of the alcohol prevents the yeasts and sugar from fermenting, stabilizing the wine between at 17% alcohol. This mixture then goes into foudre (large oak vats) to age for four years, over which time the Pineau picks up aromas that include notes of figs, pears, and nuts. The sugar from the grape must makes this sweet, while the acidity and alcohol never permits it from becoming cloying. Usually served with an ice cube in a tulip-shaped glass, this is a classic French aperitif, very popular back in the fifties and sixties and enjoying a bit of a comeback, particularly when incorporated into creative cocktails. Other uses for Pineau include basting roasted meats or thickening sauces. We enjoy it in warmer weather combined with tonic and ice in a tall glass. Add a lemon twist, squeeze of lime or orange wedge if you wish.

One of those dark rums we love to savor iin a snifter by the fire . . . Producer Notes ~ "Intense dried fruit aromas finishing with molasses and charred oak flavour. Aged 2 years. 80% column still + 20% pot still rum. Column spirit aged in oak vats, pot spirit aged in ex-bourbon American oak barrels. Filtered through coconut shell carbon. 37.5% ABV (700mL) + 40% ABV.

Producer notes ~ "We finished our straight rye whiskey in Extra Añejo Tequila barrels. The result is remarkably unique tequila finished whiskey with notes of agave and vanilla on the nose and honey, peppercorn and orange citrus to taste. Pairing tequila and whiskey is always a risky move, but this was a risk worth the reward."

Producer notes ~ "Organic toasted cacao nibs bring this blend to life and, with just a hint of spice and oak, imparts the essence of chocolate into any drink. Truly a necessity in any well stocked bar."

Producer notes ~ "Scrappy's Orleans Bitters is the newest product release to this line of classic bitters flavors. Orleans  is a New Orleans style bitters, with a fresh bouquet and strong anise taste complimented by notes of citrus, cinnamon, and a bitter floral finish, this bitters is perfect for your Sazerac, Vieux Carres, and everything in between."

We can never get enough variety in gin, so here is another toi savor! Producer notes - "Inspired by the Vancouver Island coast, with its clean surf and appealing fragrance of wild roses, evergreen forests, and salty air, our flagship spirit has a deliciously complex yet impeccably balanced botanical profile. Made from botanicals such as juniper, rose, lavender, citrus, coriander, cardamom, and—most notably—local, sustainably harvested winged kelp, which gives it a subtle taste of the ocean, Seaside Gin is an elegant choice on its own and a winning ingredient in your favorite cocktail. Awards: World's Best Contemporary Gin, World Gin Awards". ALC/VOL: 43%

Even though a non-alcoholic altermnative to the gin-based classic Negroni cocktail, this tastes remarkably like the real deal! Producer notes - "The Negroni For When You're Not Negroni-ing. Non-alcoholic with nuanced juniper, citrus, and floral notes, the St. Agrestis Phony Negroni® drinks with the same bitterness drinkers of the classic cocktail expect, sans alcohol. We’ve also added carbonation to help mimic the bite that alcohol typically provides. Enjoy chilled straight from the bottle or over ice with an orange twist. Or for a bubbly, low ABV option, top with Prosecco for a Negroni Sbagliato."

Producer notes - "11 years in the making. And right on time. Many distillers consider absinthe to be the pinnacle of their art. We labored over ours accordingly. It wasn’t legal to sell when he started, but master distiller Lance Winters spent over a decade refining his recipe anyway, which made us ready when the ban was lifted. St. George Absinthe Verte wasn’t just the first legal American absinthe, it still sets the standard."

Ready for a trip to New Orleans?? Producer notes - "A special cup of coffee, a legendary cafe, and two souls falling in love. St. George NOLA is head distiller Dave Smith’s homage to the chicory coffee he shared with his wife as their love story began. Its timeless recipe marries Ethiopian coffee, roasted French chicory, and Madagascar vanilla—and it’s been winning accolades for its faithful flavor since 2014."

Producer Notes ~ "This inaugural release of the Stellum Black Specialty Equinox was created using Stellum Bourbon. We slowly layered in rare sets of bourbon barrels, step by step, until the evening of the Vernal Equinox, when the blend was completed in honor of the changing seasons."

From the Producer ~ Vodka aged with Lime, Lemon & Orange, Housemade Cranberry Liqueur. 25% ABV. Truth regarding the genesis of the Cosmopolitan is fuzzy, and we’re not here to provide one bit of coherence. In an ever-expanding cosmos, our rendition launches from the version created by Cheryl Cook in Miami Beach’s heyday. Enjoy this pastel libation in your finest linen slacks, and make a toast to the evening’s celestial affair.

Producer notes - "The Old Fashioned is revered for its versatility and simplicity. This variation on the classic speaks to wistful days spent in Milton-Freewater, OR, and we’ve transposed our fondness for the Pacific Northwest bouquet into our own bitters. Whether consumed around a mountain-top campfire or from the safety of your drawing room, tradition has it that one’s first Old Fashioned should be served by a friend. Keep at room temperature. Stir over ice, and if you're truly civilized, garnish with a twist of orange. Ingredients: Rye Whiskey, Housemade Bitters of Filbert & Fir, Simple Syrup. ABV 41.5%"

Producer notes ~ "Toki is a blend of Yamazaki's three distilleries, Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita. Toki means "time" in Japanese. It's a concept rich in meaning the world over, but particularly in Japan where respect for tradition and reinvention sparks a powerful creative energy. Inspired by that interplay, Suntory Whisky Toki brings together old and new - the House of Suntory's proud heritage and its innovative spirit - to create blended Japanese whisky that is both groundbreaking and timeless. Silky with a subtle, sweet and spicy finish.

Producer notes:
40% ABV. Appearance ~ Bright Crystal color with silver tones, nice bodied.
Aroma ~ The first impression is herbal with hints of mint and anise, followed by white pepper and spices (cinnamon and clove); mild citrus notes. If allowed to breathe in the glass, apple and floral notes appear.
Taste ~ Cooked Agave, mint, pepper, with a residual sweetness (white chocolate) and slightly herbaceous. Presents a long final, spicy and sweet at the same time. Very complex and rounded.
Comments ~ The essence of Agave. Who do not enjoy Tapatío Blanco, could very well stop drinking tequila, because this is exactly what silver (blanco) tequila should be.

Producer notes:
38% ABV. Aged 4-6 months in American white oak barrels, previously used in ageing Bourbon.
Appearence ~ Pale straw yellow color; luminous, with golden and slightly greenish tones. Medium bodied due to its lower alcoholic content.
Aroma ~ Fruity, intense cooked Agave, apple, pear, vanilla and caramel, slightly smoky. White pepper comes in a subtle form. Allowed to breath it becomes creamy with hints of butter. Spices such as clove and sandalwood.
Taste ~ The sweetness of the cooked Agave flavors predominate; herbal, pepper, slightly smoked with notes of caramel, cocoa, vanilla and nuts (walnut, peanut, hazelnut). A very soft & smooth, yet spicy finish.
Comments ~ A very well balanced tequila between the spicy and the sweet flavors. Perfect for a Margarita cocktail, but also to enjoy neat or on the rocks.

2021 Agave Harvest, La Ladera Single Estate. Producer Notes ~ "The Tequila Ocho story begins with the Camarena family, who started making tequila in 1937 and are now in their third generation as tequila producers. This family is one of the few producers that still make tequila in the slow, artisanal way. With the Camarenas nothing is rushed or hurried during the whole process, from the growth of the agave to the final distillation. Tequila Ocho is a joint partnership between the Camarenas and Tomas Estes. Estes, the creator and owner of Mexican bars and restaurants since 1976 is a higly respected personality in the bar and spirits world.

2022 Agave harvest, El Nacimiento Single Estate. Producer notes ~ "Unaged and honors the noble agaves of Arandas and the Camarena “Ranchos” through intense, lively and clean flavors Made with 100% Blue Agave. Tequila Ocho is made by Carlos Camarena, a third generation Tequilero, in partnership with Tomas Estes. This dynamic partnership delivers heritage and tradition, coupled with innovation. Carlos and Tomas produce tequila that is made slowly in an artisanal way. The result is a fine quality spirit that accentuates the agave flavour. It is concentrated and complex while remaining balanced and easy to drink. Tequila Ocho demonstrates that “terroir” exists in agave.

We know, Tito's can be purchased almost anywhere spirits are sold, and let's be honest - there are more interesting Vodka's out there. But as a basic platform for cocktails Tito's is hard to beat.

Another standout aperitif from Chris Beyer at Veso. This one is delicious over ice, or as a base for a spritzer, but tasting it inspires all sorts of creative impulses where cocktails are the focus. We could even see it being used as a component in culinary marinades . . .

Made right here on San Francisco's Treasure Island in small batches with meticulous attention to detail . . . Producer Notes ~ "Tart citrus and bright strawberry.

Made right here on San Francisco's Treasure Island in small batches with meticulous attention to detail . . . Producer Notes ~ "This aperitif tastes like an old-fashioned without the bite - it's rich with baking spices, bittersweet from our burnt caramel, and has a touch of citrus from the orange peels. We love to sip it over ice at the beginning of the evening, or mix it in a cocktail wherever you would use sweet vermouth. Ingredients: 2020 Mendocino County Chardonnay, Grape Spirits, Madagascar Vanilla Bean Extract, Burnt Caramel, Fresh Valencia Orange Peels, Dried Valencia Orange Peels, Cacao Nibs, Clove, Ceylon and Saigon Cinnamon, Star Anise. 18% ABV"

Producer Notes - "The blanco version of tequila is the product that is obtained after distillation. It contains 40% alcohol content and is unaged. Our Blanco is a classic. It’s an easy-to-drink agave-forward spirit with light hints of vanilla and citrus. Our blanco tequila has also been oxygenated, which helps remove some unwanted chemicals and compounds, accentuating the sweetness of the natural agave. Made with rain, spring and deep well water, it has just the right balance of minerality. Plus, there’s a bit of a black pepper finish for an added kick.

Producer notes ~ "Made in California’s San Joaquin Valley from a blend of dry white wine that includes Orange Muscat, Vya Extra Dry is carefully hand infused at Quady Winery with a selection of over fifteen dried herbs. In Vya Extra Dry the flowers and leaves of the plants are used for the infusion, whereas in the Vya Sweet, the roots and seeds of different plants are used. The flowers and leaves of different plants make Vya Extra Dry powerfully herbaceous, crisp, and refreshing. A few of the herbs used include lavender, linden, sage, orris, alfalfa, and angelica. Fresh and aromatic, Vya Extra Dry wakes up the taste buds, and makes a wet martini or an aperitif on the rocks that livens up the end of the day."
