This Fourth of July, we celebrate more than fireworks and cookouts — we celebrate freedom, unity, and the American spirit. 🇺🇸

From our Cork Monkey family to yours, thank you to those who serve, have served, and continue to uphold the values our country was built on.

As we gather with friends and family this week, let’s raise a glass to the red, white, and blue — and the people who make this country great.

We will be open to 6pm

🎆 Happy Independence Day!

Wait — it’s July already? 🗓️
Feels like June got rained out and now BAM, summer’s halfway over.
Don’t let the good times pass you by — stop into Cork Monkey and make the most of sunny days ahead. We’ve got summer sips for every plan (or impromptu patio party).

What makes bourbon bourbon?
– Must be made in the U.S.
– At least 51% corn (just like that one cousin at Thanksgiving)
– Aged in NEW charred oak barrels
– Distilled below 160 proof
– Bottled above 80 proof
– Best served when you’re trying to sound smart at a party.
Now you’re the guy at the BBQ who knows things and brings the good stuff.

Tequila: because bad decisions deserve top-shelf beginnings. But here’s the deal — if it doesn’t say 100% agave, you’re basically drinking regret with a lime wedge.
Real tequila = made in Mexico + 100% blue agave + fewer “Who even was that?” moments.
So yeah, check the label before you toast to “just one more.”

Wine isn’t just a drink. It’s therapy… in a bottle… with a cork you’ll pretend you don’t need a tool for.
Tonight’s mood: accidentally finishing the whole bottle while watching that one show you "don’t even like."
Classy? Absolutely not. Relatable? Always.

It’s been too hot to function. Your options:

A: Melt into your porch furniture
B: Stick your head in the freezer
C: Drink something cold, boozy, and loaded with questionable decisions

Spoiler: C is the correct answer. It’s not a heat wave — it’s a hydration emergency. With benefits.

🎓 They’re Graduating. You’re Grateful. Let’s Drink.
To the class of 2025: Congrats, you did it!
To the parents: You also did it. Barely. You survived parking lot pickups, AP-level eye rolls, and 4,000 school fundraiser emails.

Now it’s your turn. Raise a glass to freedom—and maybe pour another for the tuition bill that’s coming. Cork Monkey: Proud supplier of celebratory sips, emotional support vodka, and champagne with zero judgment.

🧠 Overheard at Cork Monkey:
“Is there a wine that says ‘I’m thriving’ but also pairs with frozen pizza and passive-aggressive texts from my HOA?”
Yes. It’s in aisle 3, wedged between your standards and the last ounce of your patience.
📍 Cork Monkey: Like a therapist, but our advice comes in bottles.

🍷 Wine Tasting at Home: Step 1 — Open bottle. Step 2 — Done. You don’t swirl, sniff, or overthink. You pour. You sip.
You judge your ex’s new haircut from your couch with confidence. Come pick your bottle of “not tonight, Susan” at Cork Monkey.

🍋 Unknown Cocktail Spotlight: The “Corpse Reviver No. 2” (Yes, it slaps) Sounds terrifying. Tastes electric. This pre-prohibition beauty is meant to “wake the dead,” or at least help you fake being alive at brunch.

Ingredients:
¾ oz gin
¾ oz Cointreau
¾ oz Lillet Blanc
¾ oz fresh lemon juice
Dash of absinthe (seriously—tiny)

Is It a Cocktail or a Cry for Help? Yes.
You call it “creative mixology.”
We call it:
Vodka from last weekend
A flat seltzer
One sad basil leaf
And vibes
If it’s cold and vaguely flavored, we support you.
If you’re calling it a “herbal spritz,” we’ll nod politely.
📍 Cork Monkey: Fueling unhinged bartending since forever.
