New Flavors of Summer

Because it's "shutdown week" (for our wholesalers, not us), we have a chance to discuss some of the products that we've recently received, but that we have not been able to feature. Some of our favorite brands have introduced new products, and they are always worth reviewing.

Patrón Citrónge Mango. The sweet and smooth Patrón Citrónge liqueurs are a Simply Perfect addition to any cocktail. Their newest flavor is clear & smooth with a refreshingly crisp mango taste.

The clear color gives an aroma of fresh, sweet mango. On the palate, you'll get more mango with hints of citrus, pineapple & peach. The long-lasting finish leaves you with even more juicy mango.

This is a delicate blend, made from high quality Ataulfo mangoes cultivated in Mexico. It's perfect for culinary as well as cocktail recipes, giving drinks and sauces a unique, exotic twist. 35% ABV. $21.99.

How about a Mango Mojito?

1oz Patrón Silver
1/2oz Patrón Citrónge Mango
1 cut lime
1 oz simple syrup
6-8 fresh mint leaves
club soda
lime wedge for garnish

In a tall glass, muddle mint leaves, lime and simple syrup. Add a cup of ice and Patrón Silver, Patrón Citrónge Mango and top with club soda. Stir gently. Garnish with a lime wedge.

BACARDÍ® Tangerine™ Flavored Rum is infused with rich tangerine flavors to create a tangy and fresh taste, inspired by the brand’s Caribbean heritage. BACARDÍ Tangerine is a BACARDÍ original flavor that’s great as a shot drink or mixed with fruit juices and soda water for a refreshing drink that’s full of flavor.

This is available in the 1 liter size only, at $20.99.

Try a BACARDÍ Tango.

Tangy, smooth and sweet. The BACARDÍ Tango tastes like summer in a glass with the simple combination of orange juice and BACARDÍ Tangerine.

1 part BACARDÍ Tangerine
3 parts orange juice
Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour in ingredients and mix well.

Slaughter House American Whiskey. The Spirit: An irresistible American Whiskey with endless layers and an everlasting finish, procured by Dave Phinney.

After spending 9 years in American oak, the spirit was further matured in our Papillon barrels which added perfumed aromatics and rounded out the mouthfeel. The spirit was then tamed with pristine water originating from a natural hillside spring found on Dave’s property 2000 feet above the Alexander Valley in California.

The Profile: Intense and inviting with caramelized sugar, baking spices, dark fruits, butterscotch and vanilla notes. The palate is smooth, ultra rich and layered. The finish is impressive with honey, toast and loads of caramel.

Only $41.99 in the Bottle Club®. We prefer this with a small amount of chilled, bottled water.

Cheers!
