Ideal Bite

Hard up for a new drink? Order a stiff one with Hudson Baby Bourbon Whiskey. It's made from corn plucked from Hudson Valley farms (like Tantillo Farm) and aged for a year and a half in small American oak barrels. Perf for virgin whiskey drinkers, this baby has a smooth vanilla and caramel flavor – we've tried it a bunch of ways (what we won't do for you…), and are pretty much stuck on the old splash of water and ice routine. And since it's made in Gardiner, NY – at the first and only whiskey producer in NY since Prohibition – it means cutting down CO2 emissions compared to bottles shipped from, say, Tennessee. Satisfying.
