Fresh-crushed cranberries leap skyward, trailing wisps of whole cinnamon stick and wild herbs like a climber's chalk dust in mountain air. The palate dances between sour cherry and pomegranate gummies, zipping across the tongue with taught precision before settling into a sweet tea finish that calls for another sip.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
