Pura Vida Licor de Naranja Orange Liqueur
Used to create the original Margarita!!!
Cinco de Mayo is coming!
Distilled in Mexico since 1933 and renowned for its fine balance, NARANJA is at once gentle and intense, warming and refreshing, bitter and sweet- delivering a taste that never leaves one indifferent.
The commonly accepted origin story of the Margarita is that it was invented in October 1941, at Hussong’s Cantina in Ensenada, Mexico, by bartender Don Carlos Orozco. One slow afternoon, Don Carlos was experimenting with mixing new drinks when a prestigious visitor arrived- Margarita Henkel, the daughter of a German ambassador. Don Carlos offered the drink to her, and named it after Margarita for being the first person to taste it. It is said that he concocted the margarita with a mixture of equal parts tequila, our orange liqueur and lime, shaken and served over ice in a salt-rimmed glass.
The margarita has since become world famous and is the number one cocktail in the United States.
NARANJA is the secret ingredient necessary to make the finest, most authentic, smooth and delicious Mexican Margarita. For nearly a century this Orange Liqueur was only available in Mexico, but now the secret is out and available everywhere under the name NARANJA!
NARANJA is excellent straight or in a premium cocktail. It also adds a powerful flavor to recipes. No artificial flavors or chemical enhancers are ever added to this ultra-premium liqueur, providing an end result that is citrus perfectio

Yellow Rose Distilling Outlaw Bourbon
The Lou Single Barrel
#7005

#7005
116.5 proof
True to its name, this one breaks all the traditional bourbon laws. Made from 100% Texas yellow corn and aged in small American oak barrels right here in Houston. The 15-20 degree temperature swings in this part of Texas give our bourbon unique characteristics that can only be achieved here. In fact, our angel share is 15% per year, making our whiskey extremely rare and valuable to us.
Outlaw Bourbon is full-flavored with warm caramel and vanilla overtones. Our traditional pot still helps us produce a true small-batch whiskey. One sip and we think you’ll agree you’ve never had anything like it.

Great press for 2021 Cloudline Pinot Noir! A consistent best buy!
2021 Cloudline Pinot Noir...$18.99 / 750ml
Part of the Domaine Drouhin Oregon portfolio, the 2021 Pinot Noir from Cloudline is very easy to drink! Medium ruby-purple in the glass, it's scented of cranberries, blackberries and blueberries with touches of tar, mushroom and lavender. Light-bodied, soft and juicy, it offers generous, perfumed fruit and a long, floral finish. It's exported around the world and should be fairly easy to find.

Deschutes Tropical Fresh IPA
Sit back and relax as you let the waves of pineapple, citrus and mango wash over you. Close your eyes and you can hear the breeze rustling through the palm trees. An antidote to a hazy glow, we sought a bright and beautiful color as canvas to flaunt big tropical hops.

Hartford Court Seascape Chardonnay
It needs a little coaxing to reveal restrained notes of lemon meringue pie, lime leaves, struck flint and wet pebbles with touches of coriander seed, orange blossoms and yuzu zest. Medium-bodied, the palate is very crisp, intense and pure with loads of citrus and stone-inspired flavors, finishing very long and zesty. This tight-knit beauty is going to be incredible in another year or two and will drink well for at least 10+ years. only 270 cases were made.
Rated 97/100 The Wine Advocate
Main and Mill Paddy Stash Irish Stout
Irish Stout • 5.5%
May the beer rise up to meet your lips this St. Patrick’s Day. Straight from the Paddy Stash, a blend of dark malts and oats bring out notes of coffee and chocolate, with a balanced roast character and a dry finish characteristic of the Irish Stout style.

2021 Mac and Billy "M" Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
Back in stock - this one sold fast!
WOW - 95 points from The Wine Advocate and under $302021 Mac and Billy "M" Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon...$26.99
I love this easy-to-drink 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon from McPrice Myers that well overdelivers for its price. Deep ruby-purple, it has alluring aromas of cassis, pencil shavings, dried herbs, leather and lavender, plus classy touches of oak spice. The full-bodied palate is concentrated and powerful without going over the top. It has abundant, grainy tannins, flinty streaks and plenty of refreshing acidity to carry the long finish. It's not your average chocolate bomb California Cabernet, despite its modest price tag.
