Happy Hour: Hard Alcohol, Sipped Neat

We're proud to launch our newest series: Happy Hour! Each episode, we'll pick a different drink or drinking culture and explore! Sounds like fun, right?



This week, we're talking about hard alcohol, sipped neat. So get on your smoking jacket and put on some jazz records. Or maybe grit your teeth and just try to get through it (see Kathryn's face below).
