The Summer of George Cocktail KitA hot new take on a Mai Tai, draped in velvety holiday spice. Libelula's blend of Blanco and Reposado Tequila gives a subtly aged taste that plays beautifully with the almond orgeat and honey syrup. It may not be summer anymore, but this cocktail will have you feeling like you just got fired from the Yankees with a sick three month severance package. That's the Summer of George, baby! Kit includes: Liblula Joven Tequila (750 ml), St George Spiced Pear

The historic recipe

and transportive—without any extra shaking or mixing required

The Taylors wanted to know if using different types of wood as fuel would result in different flavor profiles for the finished whiskies

Water base

A light grassiness

The Crafthouse Moscow Mule is crafted with house-made ginger beer

This is elegant wheat from a producer that really knows what they are doing with it

Pineapple and rum are true soulmates

neat in a small snifter

and is equally rewarding served simply over ice with an orange twist as a sophisticated aperitif

We then had it custom malted at Admiral Maltings in Alameda

With this lost tradition in mind
