Happy Pina Colada Day!
/It’s National Piña Colada day, and we’re cooling off with our twist. While traditionally a rum drink, using our Coast vodka in place of rum reduces the sweetness—and the calorie count! Introducing the Vodka Colada
2oz vodka
1.5 oz coconut cream
3oz pineapple juice (the fresher the better)
1/2 oz simple syrup
Add ingredients to a shaker with crushed ice. Shake well. Strain over ice and serve in a tumbler or hurricane glass. Garnish with a slice of pineapple, a cherry—umbrellas optional.
Alternatively, blend with ice for a frozen take!
Recipe: Mules, Three Ways
/Mules are the perfect summer time drink—ginger beer and lime are a dynamic duo, bringing out the brightest flavors in our spirits and making them as refreshing as possible. Traditionally, mules are served in copper mugs because the metal is a better insulator than glass, keeping your cocktail cooler and as refreshing as possible!
In honor of the first day of summer, we’re mixing up mules three ways, each with their own flavors
Classic Mule:
A traditional recipe using our ultra-velvety potato vodka
2 oz potato vodka
1/2 oz lime juice
6 oz ginger beer
lime garnish
Starkus Mule:
A hint of smoke and caramel enhance refreshing ginger
2 oz Starkus light whiskey
1/2 oz lemon juice
6 oz ginger beer
lemon & mint leaves for garnish
Cranberry-Juniper Mule:
Botanical and herbal vibrance!
1 1/2 oz cranberry juniper vodka
1/2 oz cranberry cordial
6 oz ginger beer
garnish with sprig of rosemary
Instructions:
For all mule recipes, pour ingredients over ice. Stir lightly, and serve in a chilled copper mug. Garnish according to the ingredients list. Enjoy!
Recipe: Bourbon Iced Tea
/Today is National Iced Tea Day, and we’re celebrating the only way we know how—with a cocktail. Our Bourbon-spiked iced tea is refreshing and flavorful, perfect for sipping on the porch in warmer weather!
