2/14/19 – What could be more fitting on Valentine’s Day than this delicious twist on a classic Margarita? Revel’s own Zachariah Parks came up with this recipe which we showcased at last year’s San Diego Spirits Festival. Zach’s chipotle and hibiscus syrup is the perfect combo of sweet and spicy and results in this beautiful dark red color – sure to impress that special someone!
“After much deliberation and debate, we whittled our shortlist down to celebrate 10 spirits that we believe to be the most experimental, creative and downright interesting of 2018.
A number of brands stole the spotlight with interesting production methods, unusual ingredients and stand-out packaging designs, while many entered new categories with boundary-breaking expressions.”
1/15/19 – Well, we came up with a delicious boozy hot chocolate. You’re welcome. This one will keep you warm through the winter months – A big kick from the 96 proof Revel Anejo pairs beautifully with a little spice from the Ancho Reyes and cayenne top. It’s decedent, so be sure to share with a friend!
“When you think of tequila, what comes to mind? Sugary margaritas? Horrible hangovers? Shots? It’s time to put an end to the so-so reputation tequila has as the cringe-worthy party spirit, one best not tasted. Whether your taste preference is for sweet, spicy, savory or somewhere in between, we have a bottle that’s perfect for your sipping pleasure—or for a friend’s! Here’s a roundup of our top picks of añejo tequilas (tequilas aged a minimum of one year, but less than three) that make for great gifts during the holidays.”
“Anyone who is a dedicated whiskey drinker or a self-proclaimed whiskey snob likely orders their favorite brown drink every time they go out. And that’s fine, if you’re OK with missing out on a wealth of other spirits that you’ll probably love. Aged tequila is one of them.”
“Meet Avila, the 100% blue agave spirit harvested and distilled in the small Mexican state of Morelos. Recently debuted by new company Revel Spirits, Avila blends the manufacturing processes of tequila and mezcal to create a smooth, slightly smokey flavor profile—almost a hybrid of the two agave industry leaders.”
3/17/18 – It’s so satisfying when a recipe so simple can be this delicious. The only booze you’ll need in this one is Revel Avila Blanco. Mix your sea salt with an equal part of cayenne pepper on a plate beforehand and sprinkle it on the beautiful foamy top the honey gives this cocktail. You’ll end up with a complex yet straight-forward blend of tart, sweet and spicy.
For those playing at home – We recommend a 1:1 ratio for the honey syrup: dump the honey in a saucepan with equal parts water and mix on a medium heat until it’s perfectly combined. (Be sure to let it cool before you get shaking, or it’ll dilute your drink too much!)
