On the inaugural episode of Barrel to Bottle with Binny's Beverage Depot podcast, hosts Kristen E. and Jeff C. tackle one of the most common questions people have about wine: What should I drink and when?

It's tiki time! Our Big Mama is full of tropical flavors that will have you feeling like you're floating on a flamingo raft somewhere under the sun. This tropical cocktail is a polite mix of lime, ginger, almonds, cinnamon, pineapple, and lemon. The savory sweet combo will have you making another and another and another.

Ernest said it best, “I drink to make other people more interesting.” We're not saying you're boring or anything, but everyone would be a lot cooler if they tried this daiquiri mixed with 12 year-aged rum. Seriously.

Legend has it that Don the Beachcomber concocted the first instance of the Zombie to help a hungover customer survive an important business meeting. We suggest skipping the meeting altogether to enjoy this classic cocktail, which uses four different types of rum. Limit two per person.

The Gold Standard sets the bar for excellence. The heavy combo of sugarcane spirits creates a golden hue, and the fresh lime and syrup adds sweet and citrus flavors. Move over Mai Tai, we have a new rumtastic cocktail in house.

As of late, there is an immense interest for tiki-inspired drinks. Bartender Angie came up with one that's sure to make you feel like your toes are inches deep in the sand. It's quite literally called Tiki Drink, and is full of all the sunshine you'll ever need.

It's hot outside, but we're keeping things cool with this fresh cocktail. It's easy, bright and great for parties! The lemonade in this is the secret gem. It softens the strawberry fruitiness and gives it the right amount of sweet!
