Every month throughout 2023, we tasted a huge amount of beer, whiskey, spirits, weed drinks, cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks and other beverages. In some cases, we’re taste-testing the industry’s best new products, and in others, we’re coming across hidden gems in the wild.
Over the course of the year, we’ve been documenting our favorite drinks we’ve tried each month. But in case you haven’t been keeping up with our tasty journeys, we’ve got you covered, as we’ve gathered up all of the best things we drank in 2023 here in one place. Have a look below and see how many of these fantastic beverages you had a chance to try this past year — and see which bottles and cans you need to add to your shopping list.

January – March

To kick off the year, we filled our bellies with a wide variety of warming beverages to keep away the winter chill. Our favorites included the first “super-aged” North American single malt whiskey (which is old enough to drink itself), a craft sour ale that tastes just like one of our favorite childhood cereals, a red wine-barrel-aged tequila, a crowd-pleasing IPA from a brewery not known for making IPAs and more.
