Are you ready for the weekend? We certainly are when it comes to these amazing drink selections.

For the gin lover try The Botanist.

We are in love with the dry gin that packs a smooth and powerful emotion in your senses. There is a rich and mellow, cool on first sip that then warms across the palate with citrus freshness along with a bouquet of herbal freshness and juniper. The aroma is sophisticated and it is a joy to indulge. Try The Botanist Perfect Aromatic Martini tonight to warm your winter:

  • 2 oz The Botanist Islay Dry Gin
  • 0.5 oz dry vermouth
  • 0.5 oz sweet vermouth
  • 1 dash orange bitters
  • 1 dash Angostura bitters
  • Garnish: orange peel

For vodka lovers turn to Belvedere Vodka.

Produced in one of the world’s longest operating polish distilleries that has been making vodka since 1910, Belvedere’s Master Rye Distillers draw from a 600-year polish vodka-making history to artfully craft Polish rye into an extraordinary vodka of distinct taste and character. You can do no wrong than with just a simple vodka soda to start off your weekend right or try the Polka Rose:

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz / 60 ml Belvedere Lake Bartężek

  • .30 oz / 10 ml Lillet Rose

  • .15 oz / 5 ml Elderflower Liqueur

  • 1 Dash Peach Bitters

For mezcal lovers try Dos Hombres Mezcal.

Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston have skill fully mastered the taste and quality of an amazing bottle here. Dos Hombres was born out of a genuine love and appreciation for Mezcal and the obscure spirit’s complex character. We love the expressions and high-quality ingredients the two Hollywood icons have artfully mixed together for a perfect pour. On the rocks or a neat pour, you will sip on joy found in apples, mango and hints of zapote local fruit.

For rum lovers go for Mount Gay Rum. 

The warm tones and rich taste are inseparable from the heritage of the brand and the natural elements of Barbados where bottles are created. Since day one, the water, cane and airborne yeast have combined to create the lovely rums.

Sit by the fireplace and get comfy with the Mount Gay Rum Cinaberry Old Fashioned.

Ingredients:  

  • 1.5 oz Mount Gay Black Barrel
  • .5 oz Cranberry Cinnamon Simple Syrup
  • ⅛ tsp Orange bitter

For sparkling wine lovers try Mumm Napa Brut Rosé.

There is nothing more divine to pop open a bottle and start your weekend brunch off in style. The luxurious taste and elegant taste are exquisite from start to finish. Fresh with rich with strawberry and spicy yeast aromas you feel transported to a moment of bliss as you further taste ripe flavors of cherry, vanilla and crisp apple. Just a pop of the cork and you are in heaven.

For tequila lovers try the easy breezy fun found in Volley Tequila Seltzer.

The refreshing taste in each can is refreshing and delightful. Fall in love with four flavors: Zesty Lime​,​ Spicy Ginger​, ​Sharp Grapefruit​ and ​Tropical Mango.  Volley is made with just three ingredients, 100% agave blanco tequila from the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, sparkling water, and organic juice. The high-quality ingredients in the low-calorie and gluten-free seltzer are extraordinary to taste, as well as make you feel like you are consuming a healthier option for the weekend.

For at creative home bartenders, turn to Cointreau for a great weekend drink.

The Cointreau Matcha Margarita will give you a caffeine kick with a punch.

Ingredients:

  • 1oz Cointreau
  • 2oz Blanco Tequila
  • .75oz Fresh Lime Juice
  • 0.5 bar spoon Matcha Green Tea Powder

And for those who are going alcohol free you will absolutely adore Betty Buzz.

 

This delightful new brand from Blake Lively is the fun twist you have been looking for. We adore the taste and selections that will have you singing with joy. With real juice along with natural flavors and natural sweeteners, this vegan friendly product comes in incredible flavors such as Meyer Lemon Club Soda, Ginger Beer and Sparkling Grapefruit. You will be so happy you tried it after one refreshing sip that bursts with excitement.

Cheers to the weekend!
