The King's Ginger Liqueur by SummerSeventySix
While the sunshine's likely to melt the NYC snow pretty soon, having a bottle of old-school winter warmer The King's Ginger Liqueur at hand wherever there's a big freeze should make things a bit more bearable. It was commissioned by Berry Bros & Rudd (who have been trading for over 300 years) for King Edward VII, and they still sell it today.
As well as loads of others in the know, my dad swears by it when things get a bit chilly in the mountains where he lives. On top of that, it's much cooler than Courvoisier.

The Macallan Ice Ball
Beverage purists argue that ice should never be introduced to a quality Scotch whiskey. Such thinking rests on the theory that when holding a glass, your body heat will melt the ice, resulting in a diluted spirit and sub-par drinking experience. In order to make a Scotch cold without diluting it, Scottish whiskey purveyors The Macallan created a clever ice ball maker (pictured above)....

Minibar
by Laura Neilson Most of us associate the term "mini-bar" with hotel room fridges harboring overpriced soft drinks, booze and snacks, but in Amsterdam, it's a decidedly unusual addition to the city's nightlife. Minibar, the recently-opened drinking spot in the Dutch city's center, operates by allowing customers to serve themselves from the bar's series of variously-sized beverage coolers. After checking in with a staff member...

Scotch has been gaining a wider audience these days among a younger crowds as more and more are learning to appreciate the subtle complexities that differentiate one brand from another....
