The spirit of the holidays surround us with aromas of fresh baked pies and cookies, settling in with warm cups of cider and coffee and spending time with friends and family with the aura of celebration tippling in the air.

Tailgate parties and gathering around the big screen with friends call for good food and drinks with little preparation time and lots of great taste.

Jack Daniel’s Gets Pink: Black Raspberry Margarita

Posted on September 30, 2009 | Leave a comment

Who says Jack Daniel’s has to be all about hard slamming, down and dirty drinking? The Black Raspberry Margarita makes an extremely sweet drink with the ratios recommended by Chambord. My recommendation: Skip the Sprite and top with two parts Club Soda to help balance the sugar factor. All in all this makes a fabulous cocktail for all the female Jack fans who prefer a little ‘pretty in pink’.

Black Raspberry Margarita

1-1/2 ounce Jack Daniel’s Whiskey

1 ounce Chambord

1 ounce Cranberry Juice

2 ounces Sour Mix

1/2 ounce Sprite

Lime Garnish

Combine liquid ingredients except Sprite in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend. Strain into cocktail glass over fresh ice. Add splash of Sprite. Garnish with Lime.

Hennessy 44 Commemorates Inauguration of 44th President

Posted on January 20, 2009 | Leave a comment

Obama is sworn in as the 44^th President of the US. What else makes the news?

At precisely the time the 44^th President of the United States took the oath of office, the Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee (pop. 361) vowed to set aside a barrel of Tennessee Whiskey to mark this moment in history. This special barrel will become the “Presidential Barrel” in President Obama’s honor. Once this “Presidential Barrel” has completed the aging process, it will be bottled, sold and proceeds will go to benefit various charities.
