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.

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.

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!

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…?

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.

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

99 Points! A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2005 Dominus is deep garnet in color, with a touch of brick. It needs a lot of shaking to release notes of baked blackcurrants, fruitcake, and blueberry compote, plus hints of baking chocolate, licorice, dried mint, and pencil lead, plus a waft of wood smoke. The concentrated, hedonically styled, full-bodied palate is jam-packed with layers of black and blue fruit preserves, framed by wonderfully ripe, grainy tannins and well-integrated acidity, finishing very long, profound, and shimmery. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

98 Points! This blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot (note that rarely is any Merlot utilized at the historic Napanook Estate in Yountville). The alcohol, by California standards, is a relatively modest 14.1%. Blending the best of French savoir faire with the brilliant fruit purity and ripeness of Napa Valley, Moueix has turned in another tour de force that seems far superior today than it did when it was first released. This is one of the vintage’s greatest wines. Dense purple and youthful, with a glorious nose of earth, blackcurrants, sweet black cherries and incense, the oak is pushed way in the background, as it is in all of the Moueix wines, and the result is a wine of terroir, of great originality and authenticity. This full-bodied classic from Dominus can be drunk now, but really won’t hit its prime for another 4-5 years and last at least another two decades or more. - Robert Parker, robertparker.com

93 Points! The 2016 Red Wine checks in as a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot, and 10% Petit Verdot. Brilliant notes of cassis, tobacco leaf, damp earth, cedary herbs, and graphite all emerge from this concentrated, remarkably pure, elegant Bordeaux blend hat has building tannins and a great, great finish. It tastes like it costs three times the price. - Jeb Dunnuck Learn More

93 Points! Absurdly concentrated for an entry-level wine. Deep blueberry and black-cherry fruit fills out the compact and structured medium-bodied palate. Generous fine tannins and notes of licorice and baking-spice aromas. Long, powdery and fresh finish. This is a unique solera-type blend of several vintages from 2022 to 2012. Blaufrankisch plus pinot noir, merlot and zweigelt. Drink or hold. - JamesSuckling.com
