Top 100 Drinking Trends in August

The August 2023 drinking round-up offers a good balance between sophisticated, high-end alcoholic beverages and very outlandish concoctions.

The Balvenie, a famous Scottish distillery, stands out in the high-end beverage category with its craftsmanship and dedication to traditional whisky-making methods. For summer, the company calls attention to the perfect scotch whisky pairings, featuring its DoubleWood 12, The Balvenie Caribbean Cask, and more. For wine enthusiasts, The Grange of Prince Edward's 2022 Pinot Gris 'The Connected' combines fresh aromatics and a light palette for a refreshingly ethereal drinking experience.

In the realm of the truly bizarre, the August 2023 drinking round-up calls attention to creations such as the Bloody Mary recipe from Saved by the Bellini by John deBary. Called 'Pizza Anytime,' this savory cocktail pairs classic Bloody Mary ingredients with unusual additions like everything bagel spice mix and parmesan salt. The end result still exudes a sense of elegance, however.
