Give It A Shot – Classic Manhattan made with Pimm’s Cup No. 1 Original

The Manhattan has long been one of our favorite mixed drinks. When bourbon, sweet vermouth and a dash of bitters come together with ice in your favorite drink mixing vessel, your palate is not far from liquid bliss. Even though this combination is magic, we are not above tinkering around with the recipe to see…

Give It A Shot – Basil Hayden’s Bourbon

As we look back over the years at About Beverages, we realize that we have a slight affinity for bourbon (wink, wink). While there are many bourbons out there that we have not tried, we recently came across one that we were surprised by the fact we hadn’t tried it. It is from a well…

Give It A Shot – Stone Brewing 22nd Anniversary Anni-Matter Double IPA

Anniversaries can truly be special events. A moment in time to stop and contemplate the way things were, the way things are, and the way things could be someday. Certainly there are many types of anniversaries with sad connotations, but we are not here today to reflect on those. We are here to talk about…

Give It A Shot – Stone Brewing Woot Stout 2018

We are not sure what the weather is like where you are, but where we are, the temperature easily eclipses 100 degrees on a daily basis. When you add in the humidity from our monsoon season it makes for some unpleasant atmospheric conditions. It certainly is not what some of us would consider Imperial Stout…

Give It A Shot – Knob Creek Straight Bourbon and Rye Whiskey

This week we bring to you a tale of two Kentucky whiskeys. It was the bourbon of whiskeys, it was the rye of whiskeys. Whew! That was such a literary reach one could get hurt if not sufficiently stretched out. Seriously though, this week we decided to try two whiskeys from the same distiller in…

Give It A Shot – A to Z Winery Pinot Noir Rosé

Recently we tried a rose wine that did not leave an indelible impression upon our palates. The previous years version had been quite enjoyable, but the current version could not replicate the gustatory memory as had been hoped. We didn’t want too much time to pass before delving back into the rose section of the…
