We are officially in the dog days of summer and it’s hard to stay cool. Depending on where you live, you can’t go to the beach everyday; and it’s hard to fit in pool time when you’re clocking in long hours at the office. Knocking back a few beers is tough, especially when your favorite pilsner or pale ale gets warm after just a few minutes. A cold cocktail works; that is until the ice melts and you’re left with liquor-water (not that we’d turn our noses up at that).

But we’ve got a summertime solution for you. It’s a drink that mixes two classic heat solutions: ice cream and getting drunk so you don’t notice that you’re sweating. That’s right, it’s the alcoholic milkshake! And we’ve got two recipes that’ll quickly become seasonal favorites.

Ted’s Montana Grill, the All-American restaurant chain founded by Ted Turner, has shared two of their brand-new alcoholic milkshake recipes. Ted’s may be best known for their bison dishes—as well as their preservation of bison herds all over America—but these hand-crafted recipes are made to satisfy not only your sweet tooth, but also to hit you with an excellent summer buzz. And they’re easy to make at home.

For those that prefer fruit, the Boozy Berry is made with Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream, fresh-squeezed lemonade, Tito’s Vodka, Grand Marnier, wildberry puree and whipped cream to top. And for the traditionalist, there is the The Slide, Ted’s Montana’s take on the Mudslide. This milkshake features Häagen-Daz vanilla ice cream, half & half, Kahlua, Absolut vodka, Bailey’s Irish Cream, Hershey’s syrup, and whipped cream.

With the recent news that American Single Malt Whiskey is officially a recognized category, there’s a newfound enthusiasm for the whiskey style. This is excellent news for the distillers at Lexington, Kentucky’s Town Branch Distilling. Not only are they releasing a new American single malt whiskey, but they’re releasing the oldest bottle-in-bond American single malt ever.

The first in its Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Single Malt Whiskey Archive Series, this expression was made with 100% malted barley and distilled in a single season by one distiller at Town Branch. The barrels that comprise this limited-edition whiskey were hand-picked from the Town Branch Archive Series, which features some of the oldest American single malt whiskey ever made.

How to make eggnog and mix into 6 cocktail recipes

A guide on how to mix and enjoy this holiday classic

Homemade eggnog

With the holiday season upon us, now is the time for cozy festive drinks like eggnog. While most of my experiences with this drink have been slightly underwhelming, using pre-made eggnog from the store, the experience of occasionally enjoying fresh homemade nog has changed my mind about this completely. In my experience it's well worth it make your own at home, and once you have it ready you can mix eggnog into cocktails for yourself and your guests. If you haven't made it before, don't worry -- it's easy to do at home and requires common ingredients you'll find in any store.

According to Tyson Buhler of the renowned bar Death & Co, you can make your eggnog even more memorable by aging it: "If you have the patience and refrigerator space, let this nog age for a few months, and the flavor and texture will change drastically over time."
