"True to its name, Barrel + Rye specializes in whiskey, offering an enormous selection from around the world for sipping or as part of classic cocktails like an old fashioned, sazerac or bourbon milk punch. Even if you’re not a fan of brown liquor, you can find something to love like the Slow Cheetah made with Aleppo pepper-infused tequila and passion fruit puree. If you’re looking for an excuse to drink, 10 percent of the proceeds from the cocktail of the month are donated to a rotating nonprofit." - Samantha Nelson
