Birmingham, Alabama has a new bar in town, and it has everything you need — and a little something extra. It’s called Carrigan’s Public House. Located at 2340 Morris Avenue, Carrigan’s Public House serves up craft cocktails and beer along with elevated bar food. One of its most impressive features is something a little unconventional — a Land Rover Series III holds all its microbrews on tap.

Once inside one of Birmingham’s newest hot spots, you’ll experience a menu with a plethora of bar classics with their own Carrigan’s Public House twist. The Double Burger gets white cheddar or ghost pepper jack, stick onions, pickles, and roasted garlic aioli, while the Corn Dog is drizzled with hipster ranch, guajillo ketchup, cotija cheese and cilantro. The Fish ‘N’ Chips Sandwich even has an elevated touch! Grilled trout fillet takes the place of haddock and cod, and it’s served with root chips, lettuce, tomatoes and a malt vinegar aioli. The Panko Fried Chicken comes with smoked collards, gouda grits, mushroom, bacon, and aerated sriracha. And Ramen lovers can rejoice! There’s a special Pub Ramen with house smoked brisket, chilled ramen noodles, ginger sesame vinaigrette, soft boiled egg, kimchi, jalapeno, cilantro and green onion.

And the cocktails will do more than just please you. The Black Lab is a mix of trim tab brown ale, gin, jalapeño, grapefruit, celery, and Buffalo Rock ginger ale — the citrus and spice mix will wake you right up. Read the Sign comes with Bulleit bourbon, Aperol, Cocchi Americano, and Luxardo Maraschino. The beers that line the Land Rover Series III are on rotation regularly, so there’s always something new to try. What more can you want?

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."
