We’re rounding out our VA Spirits Month Recipe with a classic: The Sazerac. The Sazerac is widely regarded as the oldest known American cocktail, and seeing as Virginia is America’s oldest state–we thought it was a good fit for this project. Sazeracs are usually made with rye whiskey, but when we laid our eyes on Lost Whiskey’s High Rye Bourbon, we knew it would be just right.
We’re still celebrating VA Spirits Month over here! So, naturally, we wanted to include a classic daiquiri on our cocktail list. We used Virago’s Four-Port Rum with Peach Hibiscus syrup from Crescent Simples to create our take on the daiquiri and we’re sure glad we did.
Get outta here vodka mules! Moonshine is here to save the day. This recipe uses Belle Isle Shine’s Honey Habeñero Moonshine instead of the traditional vodka, and we’re never going back!
To kick off Virginia Spirits Month, we recreated this classic Pre-Prohibition cocktail. We used Silver Dolphin Gin from Three Brothers Distillery. It’s a cask-aged gin, which lends itself nicely to the flavors in the Clover Club.
These sourdough everything bagels are an incredible way to start your day! While the recipe takes a bit of work, the end result is worth the time!
You can be forgiven for being unfamiliar with, even skeptical of, the term “Virginia barbecue.” When most people think barbecue epicenters, they probably think North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Kansas City—but not necessarily the Old Dominion. And while you’ve long been able to enjoy fantastic American barbecue in the state of multiple styles, homegrown Virginian preparations are enjoying a smokin’-hot, finger-lickin’-good revival well worth celebrating.

But be sure to hold a few brownies back for yourself, because they’ll be gone in a heartbeat.
