Cheers to Earth Day
(21 April 2006) - Producers are responding to the increased demand for organic beer and spirits. Here are a few that caught our eye.

Because their crops are now ITFA certified the farmers benefit from higher...

(31 March 2006) - Enjoyed since 1919, this staple of Italian café culture is now available in the U.S. This low alcohol aperitif—a blend of 30 herbs, spices and fruits like sweet and bitter orange, rhubarb and gentian—is as Italian as pasta and Prada. Aperol is light and refreshing like England's Pimm's, with a stronger citrus taste. It's perfect for spring/summer cocktails and shines when mixed with soda,...

Bite the Bulleit
(16 June 2005) - We don't want you to think that we at Cool Hunting sit around drinking all the time (having just posted Pimm's Cup, another of our favorite drinks) but it was so hot and humid last weekend that all I could think of was enjoying a Mint Julep. I found a great recipe (I subbed honey for the sugar) at the Bulleit Bourbon site, and...

Refined Refreshment
(13 June 2005) - Every year, within certain social circles, seasonal consumption patterns invariably emerge, lending a discrete, however intangible, identity to a fleeting moment in time. This is never truer than in the ever-idyllic summertime, when spirits (both human and liquid) run free with the annual tacit promise of carefree living and fond memories. Our potables, alongside our foods, songs and dress, will always help to define...
