A martini with rye whiskey? Yes please! Pennington's newest cocktail edition is one for the martini drinker in your life. The fresh mix of fruit flavors blends perfectly together for a fancy holiday cocktail.

Gin. What's not to love? Just as fun to experiment and discover in cocktails as it is to drink. The Last Word is a mix of sweet and sour flavors that are amped up by the herbal qualities of the gin.

Gin is full of exotic flavors - from citrus peel to fennel, lavender, and of course, juniper. The Aviation Cocktail - a classic comprised of gin, fresh lemon juice, maraschino liqueur, and creme de violette - highlights those exotic notes with its tangy cherry-citrus notes and fleeting floral lilt.

Despite the name, there really isn't anything forbidden about this fall cocktail. It's a versatile cocktail that you can try with many different dark rums and ciders. This crisp and juicy cocktail will have fall lovers everywhere springing for more!

Celebrate Halloween all year round with this eerie bourbon cocktail. The raspberry liqueur mixes perfectly with the bourbon for a bold and sweet, yet smooth and refreshing cocktail. We enjoy it best with 1792 Ridgemont Reserve, but feel free to mix things up with your favorite bourbon.

This simple fall cocktail is super convenient for last minute Halloween party planning treats or something to sip on while putting up your Halloween decorations. Grab a Binny's Pick Six, fill it with your favorite pumpkin beers and mix up this cocktail a few different ways.

Have you tried the Mexican Hot Chocolate? More importantly - have you tried our version of the Mexican Hot Chocolate? We use Ancho Reyes Ancho Chile Liqueur to give it a nice kick. It's definitely worth the investment, as this spicy liqueur pairs well with just about anything.

Looking to up your brunch game? Give the Aperol Spritz a try. You might not want to indulge in a "bottomless Aperol Spritz" marathon (it's tempting) but one or two of these with a plate of fruit makes for a lovely and fresh treat.

The taste of bourbon is a bit too austere for some. Fret not; there are some wonderful cocktails that can soften it up a bit. One such example is the Minneapolis Hustler. This cocktail has much in common with a classic cocktail from years past known as the Oriental Cocktail.

Give this unconventional bourbon cocktail a try. The key ingredient in this drink is Orgeat syrup, a sweet and nutty syrup familiar to Tiki devotees like myself, but a mystery to many. Do yourself a favor and pick up a bottle tout suite. This delicious almond syrup is the magical ingredient in dozens of tropical drinks, most famously the Mai Tai.
