It’s Fall and Crafted Taste is seeing Red, and Orange and Yellow…
We are throwing down the blanket on a spot where a stretch of old sugar maples have gone every shade of red leading out to a forest of yellow birches. Good thing our picnic basket is packed with all the fixings for the Leaf Peeper. Four Roses Bourbon mixed with Yes Cocktail Co Coffee Syrup, Vena's Island Spice and a few dashes of Bittercube Blackstrap Bitters poured over a round of ice - the love child of an Old Fashioned and a Pumpkin Latte. As we twirl a cinnamon stick, we look across the beauty of fall and sip our own bit of perfection.
This month, learn to mix the 'Leaf Peeper’, created by Jessie Yoskin, Lead Bartender at Civility and Unrest in Bellevue, WA. Here’s what Jessie had to say about the Leaf Peeper’:
“Fall makes me think of rich flavors with elements of spice. "Leaf Peeper" is a seasonal take on old fashioned that is enriched by the darkness of coffee. Spiced syrup and holiday pie bitters bring to mind changing leaves and pumpkin pies, making this the perfect drink for a crisp October night!"
For the the 'Leaf Peeper', you’ll mix Four Roses Bourbon, Yes Cocktail Co Coffee Syrup, Bittercube Blackstrap Bitters and Vena's Island Spice Syrup. Serve over a Colossal Ice Cube and garnish with a Cinnamon Stick.
For our Premium subscribers, you’ll also receive Patron XO Cafe Liqueur. Clean, fruity Patrón XO is infused with dark coffee to create a coffee liqueur like no other.

HOW OUR COCKTAIL KITS ARRIVE
Our cocktail kits are sent in two separate packages. The recipient will receive the alcohol directly from one of our partner liquor stores and the rest of the non-alcoholic ingredients from us. Our cocktail kits are thoughtfully packed in decorative, branded materials and both packages contain information about which items are arriving separately. We work hard to time the delivery of both packages to arrive on the same day, or at least within 1-2 days of each other.
IMPORTANT: An adult 21+ must be present to sign for the alcohol delivery. Due to alcohol shipping laws, the package cannot be left unattended. Generally, UPS/FedEx will only make three delivery attempts before returning the package to sender. We recommend shipping to a business address if possible, to guarantee an adult 21+ will be available to sign. If you can’t ship to a business address, please make sure the recipient is aware of the alcohol delivery. If the recipient is having trouble receiving the package, they can request the package is held for pickup at a local UPS/FedEX location through the tracking information we provide.
SENDING A GIFT: To prevent alcohol from being returned to us, we strongly recommend that the recipient is made aware of the alcohol delivery. We're happy to send a gift delivery announcement directly if provided with the contact email. If not, we recommend that the you forward on the tracking information to the recipient.
For any alcohol that is returned to us, we can make arrangements to reship the package. A redelivery fee will be assessed.

GIFTS & GIFT MESSAGES
We treat every cocktail kit as a gift, meant to surprise and delight the recipient. Our cocktail kits are thoughtfully packaged in decorative materials for a first-class presentation. Check out our Instagram page for more examples of how our cocktail kits are packaged.
We do not include a traditional packing slip in our cocktail kits; no billing or pricing information will be shown. Instead, each cocktail kit includes a detailed brochure highlighting the products arriving in their kit, as well as tips and tricks. Cocktail recipe cards, with both the featured cocktail(s) and classic cocktail recipes, plus food pairing ideas are also included in each cocktail kit.
SENDING A GIFT: Since we do not include a traditional packing slip or billing information, we recommend that you include your name in the gift message. This way the recipient will know the sender of the gift.
Gift messages are added to the cocktail kit brochure, located in the non-alcoholic package shipping directly from us. This package will arrive first or at the same time as the alcohol package, so the recipient will first see the gift message.
