Nothing beats a nice meal and a fresh cocktail. Check out these recommendations to take your meals to the next level in 2023.
Beverages:
- High West Bourbon Whiskey
- From the mountains of Utah come a smooth as silk dram that you don’t want to pass up. Sip it neat or with a few frozen cubes.
- Whistlepig Piggy Back
- My preferred choice for a craft cocktail at home. Makes a stellar Old Fashioned.
- Aviation Gin
- A squeeze of lime, soda, and a malty-vanilla gin hit the spot. Plus it’s from Ryan Reynolds.
*21 or older to drink/purchase. Please be responsible.
Seasonings:
- Traeger – Fin and Feather Seasoning
- Kills on oven-baked chicken. Pro-tip: try it in the air fryer!
- Whiskey Bent – The Bird Dry Rub
- Smoke chicken breasts after smothering in this dust…then add your favorite BBQ sauce for a killer meal your friends will be raving about.
- Heads Country BBQ Sauce – Hickory Smoke
- See above. Add for that kick of sweet and spice. Also made in Oklahoma.
Coffee:
There is coffee, and then there is coffee.
- Red, White, and Bada$$ Brews
- Whiskey Business or Red, White, and Brewed for me. Bold as the American Spirit as long as you are too.
