A Housebar crew fav - yeah, it's on the sweet side with a familiar vanilla note, but it's got a spice that'll make you do a double take. It's light, it's clean, and it's delicious - the sort of tequila for me and you, your Mama and your cousin too.

ArteNOM sure knows how to pick 'em and this one's no different. It tastes like a caramel plum (if that’s not a thing already it should be), while staying light and fresh. Like Jerome Bettis in his prime, this one's got some weight to it, but can still dance around your tastebuds.

You may know this crimson concoction from such classics as the Negroni (and its many forms) or the Jungle Bird, but how about with some fresh squeezed orange juice in a Girabaldi? It’s always bitter, like Stanley Hudson, but mix in something nice and it’ll show its true colors. Pretzel day!

The Orendain family has a loooong history of making agave spirits in Jalisco, and this 100% blue agave tequila is aged for more than 18 months in American white oak barrels. It's the aging process that gives the tequila its golden amber hue and smooth, caramel'y, vanilla, oaky, taste. Smells great, tastes great, and is, well, naturally, generally great.

Aperol is the Ross Geller of liqueurs - a little bitter and overlooked compared to its more popular sibling Campari. But just like Ross ended up being the best Friend, Aperol shines when used right in cocktails like the Aperol Spritz or Paper Plane. Makes us do a little "Pivot!" in our drinking habits.
$27.00
Smells like pineapple, coconut and vanilla, and tastes like it too (although we also get some ginger, and black cardamom too fwiw). This non-alc rum is a really nice entrant to the burgeoning category, and mixes really well with ginger beer, or some tonic and lemon.
$40.00
Ancho Reyes delivers a smoky-sweet embrace with a hint of heat that's hotter than a salsa dance-off. Made from sun-dried ancho chiles, it's the secret ingredient that turns your cocktail from ordinary to caliente extraordinario.
$47.00
One sip and your tastebuds will be transported to the misty hills of Friuli, where secret family recipes using grappa, herbs and tree barks come alive. If life is about balance, then this amaro delivers it perfectly - bitter yet sweet, sophisticated yet rustic. Try it out in a paper plane or an espresso martini. Salute!
$56.00
This is one drinkable (Ron Burgundy voice) Scotch - sweet, creamy, with a backbone of black-pepper spice and a thick layer of peaty smoke. Distilled on the Isle of Islay at Bruichladdich distillery, a glass of this 10 Year will have you sounding like the dude in those Men's Warehouse commercials: "You're gonna like the way this tastes."
$97.00
Akashi may not have invented the highball, but we think they perfected it with this can. It’s light, refreshing, and highlights all the subtle citrus notes of their blended whisky. Splash in some lemon or yuzu juice if you’re feeling dangerous.
$8.00
Akashi’s Eigashima blend highlights all of the characteristics that put Japanese whiskey in a category of its own. It’s refined, elegant, so fresh and so clean. All that with a kiss of salinity made possible by the distillery’s coastal location. Kampai!
