Stave off the stay-at-home blues with a combination of good friends, drinking games and saucy spirits – and have them all come together in a virtual happy hour. Just like celebrities and DJs, many of us are hosting our own remote meetups as bars and local restaurants hang “We’re Closed” signs on the doors and we go into isolation. The success of your FaceTime cocktail hour will depend on the bottles you have in stock and the drinking games you pair with them. Considered the Amazon of fine spirits, CaskCartel.com has over 5,000 different bottles to help you live your dream of being the bartender for your inner circle. Here’s three bottles paired with fun drinking games to help you plan the ultimate virtual get together.
Everclear 151 Grain Alcohol - 20 Questions
Keep your crew’s spirit alive with Everclear 151 Grain Alcohol and the popular 20 Questions. While you might find Everclear disappearing from the shelves at local liquor stores, Cask Cartel has it in stock for your virtual social gatherings. Don’t go sipping this straight - Everclear’s neutral flavor profile offers a clean slate, absorbing and extracting flavors that result in yummy cocktails. If spiking punch doesn’t work with your party theme, try a Golden Mule, Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour. With your fancy cocktail in hand you’ll be ready to play 20 Questions all night. Reimagined for online play, the game has each friend think of a person, place and thing and then your group will take turns guessing what they are thinking of - the twist is that you’ll only have 20 questions to do so. Stock your liquor cabinet with this essential spirit at CaskCartel.com.
