The cocktail renaissance in America in the early aughts has led to a renewed interest not only in the craft of cocktailing, but home mixology. If you have a few bottles of whiskey, rum, gin, vodka, or tequila at home, there’s a chance you also have some ingredients to whip up a cocktail or two when your friends stop by. But wouldn’t you rather have a fully curated home cocktail kit from a popular distillery?

Lucky for you, the distillers at Garrison Brothers are here to help up your home cocktail game. Founded in 2006, the Hye, Texas-based distillery is the first and oldest legal bourbon distillery in the Lone Star State. Recently, it announced the launch of a series of home cocktail kits.

This sweet & savory Ozark Wagyu Burger will change your grill game forever
Get ready for National Burger Month with this new burger recipe
Wagyu Burger

National Burger Month kicked off in May -- and this year, there's no time for bland, basic burgers. With so many delicious burger recipes available, crafting a delicious burger at home is achievable for anyone. Valor Provisions founder, Patrick Montgomery, shares his favorite burger recipe: The sweet & savory Ozark Wagyu Burger.
How to make the sweet & savory Ozark Wagyu Burger
 

After years in Special Operations, Montgomery says he has "zero tolerance for halfway measures — especially when it comes to what's on [his] grill."If you’re tired of bland, basic burgers that taste like the inside of a fast-food bag, it’s time to level up." This burger recipe marries two Missouri heavyweights: Mouthwatering Wagyu burger patties and Mac Farm’s legendary Ozark bacon. Add a knockout homemade bourbon peach jam and a savory smoked cheddar, and you’ve got a burger that’s sweet, bold, and completely untamed. This isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience that’ll make your taste buds stand at attention," says Montgomery.

Debunking the biggest cocktail myths with help from top bartenders
It's time to finally debunk cocktail myths
Bardstown Bourbon Communion Cocktail

If you’re a fan of cocktails, you’re likely well aware of the cocktail renaissance of the early aughts. This rise in cocktail culture not only brought the art of mixology to the forefront but also brought a return of classic cocktails, paved the way for creative contemporary drinks, and began a rise in home bartending. But, in my almost twenty years of writing about alcohol professionally, I’ve learned quite a bit about the cocktail world. I’ve tried mixed drinks and interviewed bartenders on all corners of the globe, from Sydney to Stockholm. I’ve also heard my fair share of cocktail myths in those years.

It seems like the time is right to debunk some of the biggest cocktail-related myths. To help me debunk cocktail myths, I turned to a pair of bartenders: Frederic Yarm, USBG bartender at C-Side Bar in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Dom Giannelli, USBG head bartender at The Jasper in Richmond, Virginia. Keep scrolling to see what they had to say.
