Vodka, Bourbon, and Moonshine… This week we’re taking a close look at COED’s three major food drink groups! To get things kicked off we start by taking a look at Brooklyn’s only locally made vodka aka Brooklyn Republic Vodka. Next we go traditional with wall established bourbon better known as Maker’s Mark, and finally we wrap it all up with a true Tennessee Moonshine by the name of Ole Smoky. Make sure to check our full reviews and mixed drink recipes after the jump!

We’re not here to tell you how to drink… We’re here to tell you what to drink! And this week we are telling you to take a good hard look at Maker’s Mark 46 the 53 year old bourbon that has just been reinvented, Espolón Tequila Blanco that’s finally back on the market, and Bacardi Superior an age old favorite. Check out our full reviews and drink recipes after the jump!

There’s no wrong way to drink whiskey. But in the world of single malts and other fine whiskey super-dorks, there’s a hell of a lot more to these dark spirits than slamming shots with your bros. In each sip lies hints and touches, stenches and burns, sweet and bitter, emotion – each layer of taste with its own complexity.
