Alexander’s Sister Cocktail

January 13, 2017 by Cocktails, 365 Leave a Comment

What you end up with – especially if you’re using the heavier shit-bag creme de menthes available in your local liquor store – is something that is primarily dominated by mint and… and well that’s about it.

REVIEW – FEW Barrel Gin

May 23, 2015 by Cocktails, 365 Leave a Comment

Cocktails, 365 Rating: ★★★★★

This is a well-balanced aged gin that can really open up to both newcomers and gin veterans alike. It mixes well, and is an excellent addition to a still-small section of the gin world.

REVIEW – FEW Standard Issue Gin

May 22, 2015 by Cocktails, 365 Leave a Comment

Cocktails, 365 Rating: ★★★★★

Between the sheer uniqueness of the base grains creating a creamier gin and the powerful wallop of the higher proof, this has quickly become one of our favorite Navy strength gins. It’s balanced, powerful, and beautiful.

Cocktails, 365 Rating: ★★★★☆
