Keeper's Heart Irish + Rye Old Fashioned (RTD)
Brilliant, deep tawny/amber color. The aromatics are very intense, offering scents of bitters, clove, and baked apple with supporting notes of apricot and brown sugar. The palate substantially agrees with the nose delivering a baking spices-driven core with supporting flavors of candied ginger, dried fruits, and quince paste. The finish is long and lingering. Medium-bodied and favorably balanced with a supple texture. $34.99 – 4 Stars
Bobby's Gin & Tonic (RTD)
Bright, crystal clear with a fine bead of bubbles. The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of citrus and juniper with supporting notes of coriander, lemon grass, and star fruit. The palate is in full accord with the nose delivering a citrus-driven core with flavors akin to juniper, jasmine, orange peel, and tropical fruit. The finish is crisp. Light to medium-bodied and pleasingly balanced with a vibrant texture. $3.99 – 4 Stars
Bobby's Gin & Pink Lemonade (RTD)
Bright, light pink color with a fine bead of bubbles.

The palate is in substantial agreement with the nose delivering a sweet citrus-driven core with flavors of lime and lychee. The finish is sweet. Light to medium-bodied and largely balanced with a vibrant texture. $3.99 – 3.5 Stars
West Peak Palo Madre Paloma (RTD)
Brilliant, crystal clear with a very pale straw color. The nose is quite attractive offering scents of grapefruit, candied grapefruit zest, Tequila, and spring flowers. The palate somewhat agrees with the nose as the grapefruit flavors become far more pithy with soft, faint citrus and Tequila flavors finishing with a bitter edge. Medium-bodied with subtle flavors and less carbonation than we would prefer. $50 – 3 Stars
Cultor Flora (RTD)
Brilliant, grapefruit color being completely opaque. The nose is complex and intriguing with scents of watermelon, cucumber, grapefruit and just a faint hint of floral notes but we wanted more hibiscus. The palate is in full agreement with the nose delivering a fruit-forward core with sweet grapefruit and cucumber in the lead with pithy citrus notes on the finish. Medium-bodied and very refreshing, especially when served over ice. $22.99 – 3.5 Stars
Cultor Coco (RTD)
Brilliant, crystal clear. The nose is filled with the scent of fresh coconut water with limejuice and subtle notes of Tequila. The palate echoes the nose albeit a bit sweeter than expected with coconut flavors in the lead with hints of lime and Tequila in support finishing with a slightly tart, citrus pith note. Medium-bodied and very refreshing. $22.99 – 4 Stars
Cultor Passion (RTD)
Brilliant, golden color being nearly opaque. The nose is very tropical with the scents of ripe passionfruit in the lead with subtle hints of chili, citrus, and Tequila. The palate agrees with the tropical notes found in the aromatics but the chili was very stealth and rises on the palate following the tropical fruits and finishing with a lingering, bold chili accent. Medium-bodied with lovely fruit foiled by spicy chili flavors. $22.99 – 4 Stars
Cultor Soul (RTD)
Brilliant, pale straw color being nearly opaque. The nose opens with some funky organic notes with fermented pineapple in the lead supported by notes of ginger and Tequila. The palate echoes the nose while being more pleasingly fruity with welcomed peppery ginger notes and citrus. Medium-bodied with a great balance of flavors and a long, lingering finish. $22.99 – 3.5 Stars
siponey Royale (RTD)
Hazy, pale golden straw color with a subtle bead of bubbles. The nose is subtle but distinct being akin to a fresh Whiskey Sour flashing scents of Whiskey, lemon, and subtle hints of honey. The palate echoes the nose delivering a Whiskey-driven core with generous waves of lemon and honey with a faint spritz. Medium-bodied and refreshing with a light spritz (we would like more) and enough tart lemon accents to make this a very refreshing drink. $20 - 4-pack. 355ml cans – 4 Stars
FUNKIN Cocktails Nitro Pina Colada (RTD)
See the Full BevX Featured Review & Beverage of the WeekHazy alabaster with a creamy, white foam layer on top. The aromatics are wonderfully intense offering scents of ripe pineapple with lime supported by notes of White Rum and hints of cotton candy. The palate echoes the nose delivering intense flavors of pineapple juice with mellow White Rum, wrapped in coconut cream. Medium-bodied with an ultra creamy texture that's just a touch too sweet for us but it's hard not to love. $13.99 – 4 Stars
