New York Honey Whiskey from Catskill Provisions

This 50-proof blend from Kiki Braverman’s craft spirits line, made with blood orange, apricot, cinnamon, and clove, packs a lot of flavor in a sip. Add a splash to any brown liquor to really spice things up.

Macchu Pisco from Macchu Pisco
This 80-proof pisco, a type of brandy distilled from fermented grape juice, is made of 100 percent quebranta grapes (the strongest Peruvian grape used for pisco). The ladies behind it (sisters Melanie and Lizzie Asher) claim that because of the all-natural distilling process, you get “all the highs without the lows.”

Rodham Rye from Republic Restoratives
You are going to want to sip this 90-proof whiskey blend, from Pia Carusone and Rachel Gardner’s D.C.-based distillery, slowly but proudly, because a portion of the proceeds from each bottle goes to recruiting and training pro-choice Democratic women to run for office.
