National Scotch Day is celebrated every year on July 27th to honor the rich tradition and craftsmanship of Scotch whisky. It’s a day for enthusiasts to enjoy a glass of this iconic spirit, which must be distilled and aged in Scotland for at least three years to earn the name "Scotch."

Tequila is Mezcal, but Mezcal is not Tequila. While there are a variety of succulents in Mexico that produce Mezcal, only Blue Agave is used to make tequila. Grown in the highland region, the rule is that tequila is only
tequila if it is made within Jalisco.
Tequila has increased its U.S. volumes by 294% since 2003 and overtook whiskey as a valuable subcategory in 2023, with over $1.2 billion more in sales.
The margarita has retained its position as one of the most popular cocktails in U.S. bars for years. However, tequila has become more popular in many other craft cocktails.
In a drink, on the rocks, or with 🍋‍🟩 and🧂 make sure you enjoy this unique spirit today to celebrate!

Picture it... Cuba 1898...
An American engineer is supervising a mining operation in a small village called Daiquiri. One day after work in a bar called The Venus, he mixes up Bacardi, lime, and sugar in a glass of ice. He named it after the Daquiri mines, and it soon became a staple in Havana.
In 1909, a U.S. Navy medical officer tried this drink and then introduced it to the Army and Navy Club in D.C.
Eventually, the drink took on the various versions and flavors we know today.

We are right in the midst of the summer Kansas heat, so take a moment to cool down with a tasty daiquiri! 🍹

Dark, or light? When choosing what to drink, do you stay in the light, or do you drift towards the dark side of the spirit world? And is one better than the other in terms of how it makes you feel? The answer to that question is yes! In actuality ALL distilled spirits start off clear/light in color, and it's aging inside a container, oak barrels for instance, that turn it from light to dark. During this aging process inside wooden barrels, chemical by-products are produced, called congeners. Although considered an impurity, these chemicals give darker spirits their flavor... they also can worsen any hangover effects due to over consumption or any heightened sensitivity to them inside one's own body. Light spirits, on the other hand, have much less congeners and impurities because they do not undergo any fermentation process, so hangovers can be less unpleasant!
But darker spirits do have some benefits over their clear counterparts as well. Check this article out for a good read: https://www.bustle.com/p/7-shocking-facts-about-drinking-clear-alcohol-vs-dark-alcohol-15950549

Happy reading, and Roll 'em!

Now that the 4th is past and Summer is in full swing, many of you will be trying to get a little fun in before August, and back-to-school season, is upon us. And this is the time of year for camp-outs and float trips! And we are going to go ahead and assume that alcohol will be involved (call it a hunch), and Vern's is here to give you a few tips on how to maximize your fun while consuming any adult beverage:
*Stay away from the sugary stuff - sure, a fruity and sweet drink may be refreshing at first on a hot, steamy day, but all that sugar and carbs will eventually lead to dehydration symptoms, which might include dry mouth, headaches, and fatique. If you are looking for drinks, we suggest anything low carb or low sugar to help minimize any ill effects from the Sun.
*Drink H20... then drink some more - nothing is better for your body than water to keep you hydrated, so do it, and do it often. Trade off drinking alcohol with drinking water. Sure, you'll have to hit the bathroom up more, but that's better than experiencing hangover effects due to too much alcohol and not enough water in you!
*Eat food periodically - eating before you start your day drinking can help your body absorb alcohol faster, thereby slowing down your potential affected state and risk of dehydration. Bring some snacky foods you can gnosh on in between those brewskis!

Have fun and be safe out there!

Roll 'em!
