Hey there! It’s Wednesday, August 13, and summer has officially entered the chat.

Which means backyard pours, patio cocktails, warm nights outside, and the one guest nobody invited: mosquitoes!! So this week, we’re pouring something strange, clever, and very much built for the season.

If it's your first sip with us, join over 70K curious spirits.

It’s 1926.

Prohibition has been the law for six years, and America
has spent every one of them finding ways around it.
By this summer, bootlegging isn’t just surviving.
It’s thriving.
Historians consider 1926 the peak year for
illegal spirits in America.

Two drinks are driving all of it.

For the next four weeks, we’re telling the
story of two legendary spirits.
One unforgettable summer.
Two cocktails every week worth making.

Follow @lythgoebourbon and @daufuskiedistillery

We're giving away to lucky followers:
 
10 Lythgoe Bourbon "Pour Decision" baseball hats
10 Daufuskie Island baseball hats
