Happy Memorial Day Weekend! We’re getting this roundup posted later than we intended, so our apologies. Keep reading and scrolling for all the recipes and selections.
I’m getting a later-than-normal start for Memorial Day Weekend due to some unforeseen circumstances, but we’re back on track. In this roundup, I’m focusing on cocktails, which is the primary focus of Spirit.Ed, but also some brews and some ready-to-drink (RTD) options.
As I’m writing this particular piece, I’m having a neat pour of Foursquare Distillery‘s Doorly’s 14, a fantastic aged rum out of Barbados that doesn’t fuss with any additional dosing, aka added sugar. I’m trying it out neat to figure out what kind of rum-based cocktail I’ll be making. It does make a mean Old Fashioned, especially with chocolate and orange bitters, along with rich demerara simple syrup.
Lately, I’ve been wanting a crisp, cold beer, especially as the days grow longer and the temperatures warm ever so slightly. It’s been a bit cool in the mid-Atlantic for this time of year, but that won’t stop the festivities for many, including me.
For now, enjoy this selection of cocktails, beers, and more. We thank all of our armed forces veterans for their service.
Have a happy Memorial Day Weekend.
