Sometimes you have a cocktail on a patio and you really want to try it at home, but… Frozen cocktails can seem a little intimidating. They are actually pretty straightforward.

DIY Kitchen Cocktails
It’s summer time and the living is easy. There’s nothing like picking up fresh strawberries from your local farmers market. Then take them home to make a shortcake or a fantastic summer cocktail.

Fancy Gin and Tonic
I was kind of late to the gin game. Drinking it, as well BROVO making it. Like a few people I had some college memories around gin that weren’t great. But in the last decade there have been a lot of new gins released in different styles, including west coast gin. The focus has been…
Flavor First
No artificial flavor or color. No high fructose corn syrup. No additives or fillers. We don’t filter our modifiers- liqueurs, amari and vermouth. We don’t fine our vermouth.

SUGAR SKULLS>
Orange liqueurs aren’t very sexy. They are the soccer moms of the liqueur world, helping everything out, but not really shining on their own. We aim to change that. We spent two years working on an orange liqueur. We wanted to make the margarita shine. After all that R&D, we ended up with a curacao….
PERFECT FIRST BUCKET>
I first met Micah Melton in the fall of 2012. We had entered the Chicago market and our distributor took me to meet him. We had just released the Chicago version of Project Amaro, and I was excited to share with him what we were doing. He was Charles Joly’s second at The Aviary….

We partnered with another distillery to start making products, before we set up our own distillery. We released our first products at the end of September 2011. We…
