National Mai Tai Day calls for the classic.

First created in the 1940s, the Mai Tai has become one of the defining drinks of tiki culture, built around the balance of aged rum, fresh lime, orange liqueur and orgeat.

The Mai Tai Bundle brings together Denizen Merchant’s Reserve, Luxardo Triplum, orgeat and simple syrup. Just add fresh lime, and you have everything you need to make this classic cocktail at home.

And there’s still time to celebrate Tiki Month: all Tiki Classic Bundles are 20% off through the end of August at the Hotaling & Co. Bottle Shop.

Produced entirely from Luxardo cherry juice, Sangue Morlacco rests in oak for nine months, undergoing natural fermentation before being fortified, sweetened and bottled.

Italian poet Gabriele d’Annunzio gave the liqueur its distinctive name, “Sangue Morlacco,” or “Morlacco Blood,” in honor of the historic warriors of Dalmatia.

A storied name for an intensely rich expression of cherry.

The Whiskey Sour has plenty of room to play, so for National Whiskey Sour Day, we’re mixing up two takes with HIRSCH The Horizon.

Go classic with a twist in the New York Sour, finished with a float of red wine, or take a different route with the Kombucha Whiskey Sour, pairing The Horizon with ginger-lemon kombucha and aromatic bitters.

Which sour are you making first?

NEW YORK SOUR
2 oz HIRSCH The Horizon
1 oz fresh lemon juice
3/4 oz simple syrup
1 egg white (optional)
1/2 oz red wine

Add The Horizon, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white (if using) to a shaker with ice and shake until well chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice. Slowly pour the red wine over the back of a bar spoon to float on top.

KOMBUCHA WHISKEY SOUR
2 oz HIRSCH The Horizon
3–4 oz ginger-lemon kombucha
Angostura aromatic bitters, to taste
1 fresh orange slice
Luxardo Maraschino Cherry, for garnish

Chill The Horizon and ginger-lemon kombucha. Pour over ice into an Old Fashioned glass. Add 2–3 drops of aromatic bitters, or to taste, and stir. Garnish with an orange slice and Luxardo Maraschino Cherry.

What is Nikka Coffey Whisky?

First things first: Coffey Whisky has nothing to do with coffee. The name comes from the Coffey still, a continuous still patented by Aeneas Coffey in 1830.

Nikka founder Masataka Taketsuru first encountered this style of still while studying whisky making in Scotland in 1919. Decades later, Nikka imported its own Coffey stills to Japan, where they remain an important part of its whisky making today.

More difficult to operate than modern continuous stills, Nikka’s traditional Coffey stills retain more of the character of their ingredients and produce a rich, creamy texture.

The result can be experienced in two distinct expressions: Nikka Coffey Grain, made predominantly from corn, and Nikka Coffey Malt, made entirely from malted barley.

Same still. Two very different expressions of what it can do.

National Rum Day calls for a classic.

With roots in the golden age of tiki, the Beachcomber emerged from the mid-century cocktail tradition that brought Caribbean rum and tropical flavors to American bars.

Our take brings together Denizen Aged White Rum, Luxardo Triplum and Luxardo Maraschino with fresh lime and a touch of simple syrup for a bright, citrus-forward classic. And with The Beachcomber Bundle, it’s never been easier to make one at home.

Celebrate National Rum Day with The Beachcomber Bundle, and enjoy 20% off all Tiki Classic Bundles through the end of August at the Hotaling & Co. Bottle Shop.
