Today is the best day to raise a few bottles, tilt back and toast... for today is my birthday (can't believe I'm still alive) and I'll be spending the next few hours dipping into one of my favorite whiskey's... Redemption Rye! With notes of rye, caramel and cinnamon, this whiskey is bold and spicy.

There is technically a reason to drink and celebrate almost every day of the year and today is no different! So tap your inner Mexican vibe and get your Tequila drinking on, because it's National Tequila Day!
Patrón Lemon Martini
How to make:
Combine ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a martini glass. Top with soda.
My recommended glass: Tequila is sneaky. One minute your dancing like a sexy mofo and the next you're on the ground, pantsless, making out with a shoe. So, keep drinking until that happens!
Seriously, like I need another reason to drink! However, for the rest of you who moonlight as professional drinkers please inform your supervisors that you will be late for work tomorrow, because it is NATIONAL DAIQUIRI DAY!
Ingredients you need:
How to make:
My recommended glass: Minumum of 12 if you want to take this seriously!
Let's just say that the geniuses at the Corsair Artisan Distillery (that's in Kentucky) have done it again with the Corsair Triple Smoke, which boasts notes of cherry, beechwood, and peat smoked barley.
Corsair’s stands out among distilleries, because of its small operation that boasts no mechanized components – each bottle is filled, labeled and then boxed by hand. (That's the kind of dedication I want in my Single Malt Whiskey!)
After distilling the the Triple Smoke, they barrel it in new charred oak, which gives the whiskey notes of honey and caramel cobined with a hint of peat and cherry sweetness that make this whiskey stand out. With the sweetness of an American whiskey and the smokiness of a rich Scotch, Corsair Triple Smoke marries tradition and innovation in a single bottle.
How to drink Corsair Triple Smoke Single Malt Whiskey:
In a glass (ice optional)!
My recommended intake: The entire bottle!
Scottish Spirits has done the impossible: put scotch in a can. Now I have to admit that I was skeptical at first, because how good can Scotch in can really be...
If you're not opposed to wine in box then it will be a very short skip and a jump for you to consume Scotch in a can! I stongly suggest to keep a case in the trunk for emergencies!
