Binny's Blog

Scarcity in beer. It sounds like an oxymoron, however, when everyone wants to get their hands on the same beer it creates hysteria!

Hosts Kristen Ellis and Jeff Carlin are joined by the world-renowned Whiskey Hotline on this episode of Barrel to Bottle with Binny's Beverage Depot.

Kristen teaches Jeff to taste like a pro on this episode of Barrel to Bottle with Binny's Beverage Depot.

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

We're digging up an old classic. The Brandy Alexander is sweet as a candy bar and is full of nutmeg, eggnog and cinnamon flavors. Bartender Brittney describes the flavors as the bottom of an ice cream tub - and we couldn't agree more.

Bourbon may officially be America's spirit, and the 4th of July our celebration of independence, but two important traditions existed at least as early, if not before.

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.

Mom deserves special treatment every day - not just on Mother's Day. Binny's can't help you with the flowers, but we have you covered for the perfect brunch cocktail.

Giddy up, cowboy! This cocktail is reminiscent of sitting around an autumn bonfire. High West whiskey adds the perfect amount of campfire smoke, and blends flawlessly with cinnamon and cranberry flavors. Suggested pairing: your favorite side dish or a plate full of gooey s'mores.

If you've never had raspberry liqueur, you're in for a treat. The small amount needed for this cocktail goes a long way and mixes perfectly with the amaro and rum. The Cobble Cobble is excellent for brunch or to pair with your Thanksgiving dinner.
