Summer is almost here and despite some cool weather, Barrel to Bottle is ready to preview some delicious warm-weather beverages.

Summer is almost here, so there's no better time to explore refreshing and bright gins and the cocktails that make them shine.

Porch Pounders, Gazebo Guzzlers, Barbecue Bangers. This week on Barrel to Bottle we have wines for every warm weather occasion.

Our new Clark & Sheffield VSOP Cognac is the perfect base for this tropical riff on the classic Sidecar cocktail.

The Binny’s Demo Kitchen recipe for classic Spanish gazpacho is a cool, refreshing seasonal delight full of garden-fresh tomatoes, cucumber and peppers.

Garden Guzzlers, Mortadella Mates, Sandwich Sippers...whatever you call them just don't call them Porch Pounders. Affordable, easy-going wines for warm weather or really any weather.

Barrel to Bottle is declaring this the Summer of the Chelada.

A crisp white wine or a fruity rose is one of the many pleasures of summer. But don’t forget, there are plenty of red wines that are just as enjoyable throughout the warm spring and summer months.

Originally, the Sazerac cocktail was made with French brandy. In 1873, the recipe for the Sazerac Cocktail was altered to replace the French brandy with American Rye whiskey. We decided to recreate the original with Hennessy Cognac - plus ginger syrup, a few dashes of barrel aged bitters, and of course, a heavy absinthe rinse.
