We have spoilers for the September 2024 Shaker & Spoon box! The September 2024 theme is “American Whiskey”.
We’ve summoned a spirit that’s no stranger to challenging conventions and charting the course to places of limitless potential: novel American whiskey. It’s not bourbon, it’s not rye, it’s not Tennessee whiskey—this is a younger category all its own that can vary greatly from bottle to bottle, as distillers can look to their imaginations for the blueprint of an ideal whiskey rather than to government-regulated mash bills.
Some American whiskeys are based around hyper-local grains or apply their experiments to aging, while many others arrive at their final destination as meticulously balanced blends of bourbon, rye, and corn or wheat whiskeys. Boundless, innovative, and unable to be replicated, your bottle of American whiskey for our upcoming New Frontiers 3: Forever Forward Box is a singular artistic expression that takes all styles into account and represents years of trial, error, and now reward.
And the drinks of New Frontiers 3—like our bold starring spirit—all began with strong and specific inspirations, turned up the volume from there, and will arrive to you in fabulously fresh form. Subscribe now (while supplies last!) to get yours—it’s slated to ship the week of September 3.
What if there were a way to nod to years growing up in the Middle East with one’s next drinkable delight? Imagine a particular pitted wonder that could provide a juicy and vivid view into the region’s culture! These ideas and more were on Leah Moss’s mind as she mapped out the next great American whiskey sour, and they’ll be satisfied quite efficiently on the day When Apricots Fly.
Making the most of the fleeting fresh fruit’s very short window of viability can be vexing. Much less improbable, though, is how delicious apricots can be when they bestow their well-rounded brightness to a classic coupe along with lemon, apple, and a hint of honey and vanilla!
Sother Teague and Arnold Palmer—the deliciousness from a partnership such as this is certainly a Fore!-gone conclusion. An iced tea–lemonade combo will handily beat all kinds of heat—the drink’s simplest form, however, is a bit like mini golf when compared to all-pro version Arnold’s Fist.
Sign up for your very own tea time with this quencher of whiskey, freshly brewed chai, Sother’s own grenadine, and lemon to hit a harmonious botanical-driven hole in one! proportions.
Salted butter fat–washed whiskey, charred pepper–honey syrup, corn-infused Angostura bitters, and a walnut spritz—any guesses?! It must be a perfect pone of Cornbread Old Fashioned that an oven-mitted Sharon Yeung is serving up.
With this cocktail that plays on whiskey’s grain-based makeup, she’s constructed a mind-bending maize of corn-on-corn flavors for us to happily get lost in. Corny wordplay aside, within a sip you’ll experience a rich texture on the palate, touches of smokey heat, and a stiff whiskey kick—sounds like great down-home cocktail cookin’ to us!
