Need a spot for post-work cocktails tonight or a good stiff drink this weekend? Head over the hill to the Valley and check out Barrel & Ashes! This BBQ-centric spot is our new Valley favorite and this month (January) they are offering a deeeelish special cocktail: The ‘KINs Cup’.
This beauty is made with muddled fresh cucumber, lemon juice, grapefruit juice, orange mint infused simple syrup (yum), sweeter style amaro (i.e. china-china), and Kin white whiskey. We didn’t know white whiskey was even a thing until we found this cocktail, and apparently it lacks color because it never hits a barrel. We’d be curious to try this stuff straight just to see how the taste compares or a more standard Whiskey…
PS: This cocktail pairs really well with their Hush Puppies and The Best Damn Chick’n Sandwich you’ve ever had.
*(Yes we realize our lazy asses are a bit late on this, as you only have this weekend left to enjoy this sucker, but there are rumors it might be extended into February too…)
