This Week’s Top Pours
Cazcanes Nuestras Raices Blanco
Cazcanes is not a tequila brand. At least, not this week. Its latest release, literally subtitled "Jungle Juice," is an uncompromising splash into the wild world of uncertified distillate. We were hugely impressed by its funky flavors of cardamom, black tea, anise and not-so-subtle scorch. MSRP $110.

This Week’s Spotlight
5 Best Tequilas of 2025, So Far
From IPA yeast to Napa Valley cabernet barrels, our favorite tequilas of the year thus far have excelled in unconventional techniques. Some came from established brands like Codigo 1530, and others from vastly underrated up-and-comers like Cachasol. Read More.
Cocktail of the Week
Sunshine in the Rain
There's no better antidote to hot weather than a cocktail made with pineapple, lemon and orange juice. Patrón's appropriately titled Sunshine in the Rain is about as seasonal as it gets, adding Tiki-inspired splashes of allspice syrup and bitters that round out the drink with a decidedly autumn-like vibe. It's sweet, it's spicy and there's no doubt it's juicy. What more could you want?
Ingredients
1.5 oz Patrón Añejo
1 oz Pineapple Juice
1 oz Lemon Juice
.75 oz Orange Juice
.75 oz Allspice Vanilla Syrup
10 drops Tiki Bitters
Lemon wheel, for garnish
Orchid, for garnish
Directions
1. Add all ingredients in a shaker with ice, shaking to chill and combine (10-15 seconds).
2. Pour contents into a Collins glass. Garnish with a lemon wheel and an orchid.

Of course, we'll still be throwing the good ol' Arte Agave Fiesta in New York on September 12th as well. Feel free to check out one or the other, or — if you're especially daring — both!
