My first attempt at a Vieux Carré, recipe/idea courtesy of my new Tumblr brother, Jax.

I think this is my new favorite cocktail.

*So* good! Dangerously so. Best to stop at one. (Maybe two?)

Recipe:

3/4 oz each: Rye whiskey, Vermouth, Cognac

1/2 oz Benedictine

2 dashes each: Angostura and Peychaud's bitters

Twist of lemon peel and drop in (I ran mine around the rim)

Stir with ice until chilled (~45 seconds)

I served mine over an ice sphere

Add one Luxardo cherry for garnish (or if you're more frugal-minded, a regular maraschino cherry or, better yet, a Trader Joe's Amarena cherry)

Just wonderful

Sierra Ferrell: 'Love this song

"Jack of Diamonds" is a traditional American folk/blues song with roots in the 1800s, often associated with the song "Rye Whiskey" and the "Rebel Soldier" ballad. While popular early versions come from artists like Blind Lemon Jefferson.

Steel guitar: Douglas Francisco'

Texas whiskey is bold, diverse, evolving, and increasingly impossible to ignore.

I take a look at the 2026 Texas Whiskey Festival’s must-try bottles, from Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon and Andalusia Whiskey Co. Cigar Malt to Koopers Family Barrel Reserve Rye, and Austin 121. I also give a well-deserved shout-out to the runner-ups, because once you get into whiskey this good, “best” becomes more complicated. Different mash bills, proofs, finishes, climates, and house styles all shape the glass. At some point, judging is partly about palate, preference, and what resonates in the moment.

Buy it for the cover alone, but there's some wild, wacky, authentic cowboy songs lurking within...

“Writing songs is like a negotiation.”

Chris Thile and Punch Brothers join me to talk about crafting genre-defying music, chasing musical transcendence, and that time they accidentally wrote a hit—because sometimes, genius sneaks up on you.

Hit 👍 if Rye Whiskey is still a jam, ❤️ if Chris Thile is a mandolin god, 🥰 if their genre-blending genius blows your mind, or share if you think Punch Brothers are one of the best bands making music today.
