Coffee and whiskey. Together. As they should be. ☕️🥃

The Espresso Old Fashioned at — Rye infused in-house with cold brew for 16 hours, black walnut bitters, demerara syrup, stirred over BIG ICE, finished with an orange peel and Luxardo cherry.

This is what you order before a show at the Aronoff. Or before dinner somewhere downtown. Or when you want something that wakes you up and slows you down at the same time.

Anime lovers, this one’s for you. 🌸

The Bankai at — pear vodka, sake, peach schnapps, sour apple pucker, blueberries, and a lemon twist. Shaken over BIG ICE.

Citrusy. Bright. Like a spring festival in a glass.

Bittersweet. Complex. Classic. 🍊

The Negroni at — equal parts Forge Gin, Cocchi Sweet Vermouth, and Campari, stirred over BIG ICE.

This is the drink that brought gin to Italy in the early 1900s. Someone wanted something stronger than an Americano, and the Negroni was born. It changed cocktail culture. It popularized gin across Italy. And it’s still perfect today.

Colorado Bonfire at 🔥

Smoked maple bacon old-fashioned. Bacon-washed bourbon. Amaro Montenegro. Aspen wood smoke. Crystal-clear BIG ICE. Candied bacon garnish.

This is craft cocktail theater at its finest.

Quarter Bistro in Mariemont has been quietly doing elevated neighborhood dining for years. If you know, you know. If you don’t, go find out.

Patio season is upon us. ☀️

Rum Punch at — Tiburon Belize rum, cinnamon liquor, lime, pineapple,
and crystal-clear BIG ICE sphere.

Liberty Collective in West Chester isn’t just a bar. It’s five restaurants, three bars, a self-pour tap wall, and sand volleyball courts all in one spot. When the weather breaks, this is where you want to be.

Flurries in the forecast. Again.

The Persefone at is the wind down winter margarita — reposado tequila, ginger turmeric syrup, lime, pomegranate, and BIG ICE.

It’s March. Spring should be here. Instead, we’re getting flurries next week. At least this drink makes it tolerable.

Warming and bright at the same time. Exactly what you need when the weather can’t make up its mind.

Celebrating the women who build Cincinnati. 👷‍♀️

Last week, BIG ICE donated custom cubes for Spirit of Construction’s Women in Construction Week celebration at PRIM.

Women in Construction Week (March 1-7) recognizes the contributions of women in the construction industry — the architects, engineers, project managers, tradespeople, and leaders who shape our cities.

Spirit of Construction has been a valued partner, and supporting events like this is our way of showing up for the people who make Cincinnati what it is.

Here’s to building together.
