A delicious cocktail is our favorite way to warm up during the winter months – and staying cozy at home is our second favorite. With quality whiskey and bar accessories, you can enjoy the same $20 craft cocktails you’d get at your local high-end cocktail bar from the comfort of your own couch. (Not to mention that a fully decked-out bar cart is a key component to entertaining during the holiday season.) From gift ideas for cocktail lovers to holiday party hosts, Elijah Craig’s Straight Rye fits the bill. Its perfect balance of flavor and smoothness makes it a proper cold-weather essential, whether in a holiday Manhattan or on its own. Check out Straight Rye below, and browse our curated picks to supplement this season’s go-to spirit.

Elijah Craig Straight Rye is the first Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey to join the Elijah Craig family. Crafted with 51 percent rye grain, it’s just a few shades away from the brand’s fantastic bourbons yet presents an entirely different — and welcome — tasting experience. Aromas of dark chocolate mingle with baking spices and a hint of smoke to elevate a classic Manhattan or any other recipe on your list. Stock up before the holidays to take your bar cart to the next level and keep guests impressed… and in good spirits.
