Campfire Drinks and Storytelling

A twist on your old man's favorite from Slow & Low

In a citrusy twist on a historic elixir, adding a little Vitamin-C to “grandpa’s old cough medicine” gets your brain right for a long day on the river.

Hochstadter’s SLOW & LOW Rock and Rye, traces its roots back to 1884 before cask strength spirits were an aficionados' commodity. The “Rock,” as in Rock candy, soaks in the rye to make it palatable at saloons, and it was then later served up in pharmacies as a cure-all during prohibition.

Best enjoyed with a raft, a reel and a day to kill.

Halflight 375/Firelight 750

• 6oz/12oz Slow & Low Rock and Rye
• 3oz/6oz Nectar Agave
• 1.5oz/3oz Lemon Juice

Combine and shake all of the ingredients. Strain into your High Camp Flask. Serve over ice and garnish with a lemon slice.

Not every Old Fashioned needs to be a fruit bomb of sugar muddled with orange and cherry.

This riff on the Dude’s go-to beverage is inspired by the tropical vibes of international surfer enclaves. “Is this drink lactose-free, bra?” You bet that’s garden-fresh mint too…

The legend of Bigfoot began in the Redwood Forests of Northern California... Back in 1958, local loggers discovered “mysteriously large” footprints and penciled a letter to the editor of the Humboldt times suggesting that they might belong to a giant humanoid creature, “Maybe we have a relative of the Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas?”

A hot whiskey cocktail that's perfect for a cold fall day.

St. George Distillery's take on the essential whiskey cocktail

Silky smooth, aromatic and booze forward, this “on-the-rocks” lowball-cocktail beckons you to fill your sitting room with smooth jazz and have a seat in your oversized leather armchair.

The oldest known giant sequoia is 3,200–3,266 years old. Wrap your head around THAT while you sip this sour with a cinnamon twist.
