Quick to satisfy but often overlooked, the Whiskey Sour is a century-old, no-frills crowd-pleaser that has stood the test of time for good reason - it's simply delicious. The perfect balance of sour & sweet complements the bourbon whiskey beautifully. It's a downright democratic cocktail, equally refreshing wherever it's enjoyed. Some folks like egg whites in their whiskey sour but for the benefit of all we chose to leave that out of the can.

Tasting Notes: Caramelized fruits, vanilla, oak, raw sugar, and tart lemon.

At Golden Rule, balance is everything. For our Negroni, we developed our own signature bitters, paired with a nine-botanical gin in the classic English dry style, bold, and juniper-forward. The finishing touch comes from our friends at Rockwell Vermouth in Sonoma County, whose classic sweet vermouth blend delivers its own harmony of sweetness and bitterness, layered with botanicals like Black Mission fig, sarsaparilla, roasted dandelion root, and California sagebrush.

Chill, shake, and pour neat. Dress it up with an orange twist over a large rock, or enjoy it chilled and shaken straight from the can. Spirit-forward, unapologetically bitter, elegantly sweet and unmistakably Golden Rule. We think this one will quickly become a fan favorite.

Golden Rule Spirits is here to correct this misconception and restore the daiquiri to its well-deserved appreciation. Our Classic Daiquiri features the time-honored trio of rum, lime juice, and sugar. These three simple ingredients, when blended in perfect proportions, create a tart, boozy, and unbelievably refreshing cocktail. Although it seems straightforward, crafting a cocktail with only three ingredients calls for precision as there is nothing to mask imperfections.
 

Understanding this, we knew our recipe had to be true to form and time tested. The backbone of a daiquiri is the rum, and we refused to settle for a neutral, flavorless spirit. Instead, we turned to our southern neighbors, who are better known for their agave spirits, to discover one of the finest rums available, Paranbubes Oaxacan Rum. Made from pure cane sugar, with the earthy funkiness typical of agricole-style rums, Paranubes sets the perfect tone for our daiquiri. We then balanced this exceptional spirit with just the right amounts of tart lime juice and cane sugar. We are thrilled with the balance and complexity we’ve achieved – not too sweet, not too tart, with the perfect amount of cane rum to keep you coming back for more.
 

Enjoy the Golden Rule Daiquiri chilled in a classic coupe or cold and shaken from the can!

If you like Negronis, you probably actually love Negronis. It’s just that kind of drink. Bittersweet and boozy. A high wire balancing act that would only be attempted by three bold ingredients such as these. This red-hued classic is unmistakable, even at a quick glance, and especially once you’ve had your first sip.

Tasting Notes: Bright orange and grapefruit with fresh juniper and a juicy, yet bitter, finish.

It’s a drink that needs no introduction. After all, everyone associates something with a margarita, be it the beach, chips and salsa, or “it’s five o’clock somewhere.” Ours sports a simple mix of tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur. It’s a return to form of sorts, a celebration of the origins of a drink that has traveled far and wide. This proper, post-Prohibition cocktail has landed in the laps of distinguished imbibers for decades—now it’s yours.

Tasting Notes: Salted lime with grassy vegetal notes from tequila, a juicy mouthfeel and a finish of fresh orange rind.

Good news: you haven’t traveled back to the ‘90s. Better news: the Espresso Martini is back. Ours is strong and smooth, with a hint of vanilla. It boasts a delicious complexity from our coffee pals at Counter Culture. This is a drink that keeps the party going—or starts one from scratch.

Tasting Notes: Roasted Coffee, Vanilla Bean, Rich and Smooth

One sip and you’ll understand why this modern classic has achieved first-class status. Its delight is surely in its paradoxical flavor- it’s light and juicy yet complex and satisfying. The original creator, Sam Ross, describes this balance of flavor as “sherbet”, and we worked with him to get it just right.

Tasting Notes: Tangy sherbet, vanilla, rich baking spices, bright lemon.

The Old Fashioned is the original cocktail. It’s as classic as it gets and, when done right, it’s the mark of a master. You want to taste the bourbon, followed by a hint of sweet orangey citrus and rounded out at the finish with the warming spice of bitters.

Tasting Notes: Vanilla, citrus and caramel on the palate going into a stone fruit and spice finish.

Long relegated to island getaways, the Mai Tai is a drink clouded by unfortunate misconceptions. The refreshing original recipe concocted by Victor Bergeron (AKA: Trader Vic himself) pops like a colorful flower in the crack of a sidewalk, all citrus wallop and tropical, toasted delight. Join us in unleashing this breezy beverage from its beachy confines.

Tasting Notes: Fresh sugar cane, mandarin, marzipan, toasted almond

A Prohibition era standard that deserves wider acclaim, the Bee’s Knees is a classic for a reason. Tart lemon and floral honey balance each other, while the gin’s botanicals give it a crispness that’ll put extra spring in your step. The drink dates back to Paris in the 1920’s, but we think it deserves a proper introduction to a larger swarm of fans.

Tasting Notes: Citrus peel, crisp tart lemon and floral notes of dried lavender.

Like taking a sour patch kid (first they’re sour then they’re sweet). Our paloma is a balance of the sweet, bitter, juiciness of a grapefruit with a backbone of our own 100% agave tequila. Throw some salt in the mix and your tastebuds will give up and just ask for more. As the perfect compliment to our Margarita we love the way grapefruit, lime juice and tequila interact to make this “still” version of a classic Paloma. Who doesn’t love a pink drink…?
 

Ingredients: Premium Blanco Tequila, Pink Grapefruit Liqueur, Rio Red Grapefruit Juice, Lime Juice

Our Margarita Original is a family recipe that we started the company with.
How it all started…It was mid-July 1995 and a friend and I had just sat down at a makeshift table in the city center, Zócalo, of Oaxaca. The waiter stood in front of us with a handful of limes, an unlabeled bottle of tequila, and homemade triple sec. I’d had margaritas before but what he created, his take, the “Margarita Original,” forever changed my understanding. Not too sweet the right amount of tart and that perfect flavor of distilled blue agave. I took the recipe home with me and after decades of success offering the “Margarita Original” to local customers in our family restaurant we are finally able to share it with others.

Using 100% agave blanco tequila and mixing it with a proprietary triple-sec and natural lime juice Golden Rule has given the #1 cocktail in the world the respect it deserves. Our margarita is made to the proper strength with the right ingredients.

As with all our cocktails we aim to give the consumer the same experience they would expect from a bar but in the convenience and portability of a perfectly portioned 100ml can.
Ingredients: Premium Blanco Tequila, Lime Juice, and Triple Sec

From the importer: The domaine’s top red wine is the cuvée Charles de Batz, which was the original name of d'Artignan. The wine is composed of 90% Tannat with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from vines that are between 50 and 100 years old. After being completely destemmed, the Cabernet and Tannat are fermented separately in cement tanks. During this time, a bit of micro-oxygenation or microboullage takes place. The wine then goes into oak (50% new) in an underground cellar where it also undergoes malolactic fermentation. After 12 months in wood, it is blended and bottled after a very light filtration.

Very ripe, rich Madiran that takes no prisoners. This wine succeeds in obtaining more fruit than tannin! The color is nearly opaque—wine doesn't get much darker than this. It displays notes of black fruit (blackcurrant and blackberry) along with just a hint of red fruit. There is a cedar-like creaminess to the oak which is extremely well-integrated. Tannins pick up on the finish but, let's face it, this is Madiran and that is to be expected. These tannins seem to dissolve when the wine is matched with richly flavored meats like leg of lamb, duck, goose or game.

An important new source! The fermentation of this classically styled white, Aubépine, takes place in old oak barrels with the total lees from the press—no débourbage (wherein the lees are settled before the wine is racked off them). There are no finings and filtrations, nor additions of sulfites—though, as already mentioned, necessary exceptions can be made. Fermentations can last months or more than a year before dry. Aubépine is a specific site of old vines closer to the Cher than the Loire.
