Patrick Schwarzenegger might be well-known for his acting roles in ‘Gen V’, ‘The Terminal List,’ and ‘The Staircase’ (as well as having a fairly famous father), but now he’s going to be known as the “Spirit Advisor” for Ketel One Family Made Vodka for this holiday season.

You might be wondering what exactly a “Spirit Advisor” is. Well, in the simplest terms, it’s part of a social media campaign emphasizing seasonal cocktails. Schwarzenegger will share his Ketel One-related holiday cocktail and entertaining secrets and tips. It’s all about creating the best drinks and atmosphere from now until the New Year and beyond.

“I’m excited to be Ketel One’s first ever Spirit Advisor,” Patrick Schwarzenegger said in a press release “This partnership is all about making memories during the holidays and celebrating with the right spirit, and for me that is a Ketel One martini with a twist. Unless it’s a date…then we do espresso martini!”

It all starts with the introduction of a limited-edition cocktail kit. Available at retailers throughout the US, it includes bespoke cocktails and heatmaps created by Eater for select markets to find the best bars, pubs, and saloons to try Ketel One cocktails.

“We all know that the holidays are the busiest time of the year when it comes to planning memorable moments, so we’re looking forward to introducing our very first Ketel One Spirit Advisor to show that just a touch of sophistication, big or small, goes a long way in making the season a little bit brighter,” Sam Salameh, Vice President of Vodka, Diageo said in a press release. “When thinking about who would make the perfect Ketel One Spirit Advisor, we thought about someone who has insight into the finer things in life and naturally makes things better, just as Ketel One was crafted to make a better cocktail, and Patrick is someone who fits this persona perfectly.”

If you’re a fan of collaborative whiskeys, you’ll love the new release from Beverly Spirits and Cedar Ridle Distilling. It’s called The Beverly: The QuintEssential Edition and it’s an American single malt whiskey that was matured for at least six years before being finished in first-fill Amontillado sherry cask and French oak barrels.

This cask strength, 116.9-proof American single malt whiskey begins with a nose of dark chocolate, fresh leather, dried fruits, and oak. The palate is a mix of dried cherries, sticky toffee, sweet sherry, cocoa, and charred oaky wood.

How to infuse your favorite spirits: Tips from a professional
Doctor up your favorite spirit
Negroni trio at Orafo.

A simple infusion can change everything. Sure, there's flavored alcohol like raspberry vodka and the like but it's far more fun—and interesting—to make your own. And no, we're not talking about notoriously bad ideas like nacho cheese flavored spirits. Instead, think mushroom-injected vodka, coffee-infused vermouth, and pepper-treated tequila.

These infusions can make a regular spirit all the more dynamic, improving classic cocktails like the Negroni and paving the way for brand new ones too. Perhaps best, they're relatively easy to make and don't take nearly as much time as you might think.

Make the season bright with this minty vodka
Breckenridge

There are a few flavors associated with holiday desserts and treats, but none are as beloved as the minty, sweet flavor of candy canes. We enjoy these seasonal favorites from November through the New Year. And while they are an excellent, sugary, minty indulgence, they miss out on an important holiday component: booze.

The folks at Colorado's famed Breckenridge Distillery have a real Holiday treat for you this year. Just in time for the winter months and all the parties, get-togethers, and general seasonal revelry, they're releasing Breckenridge Candy Cane Vodka.
