Beer, Wine, and Liquor of the Month: Our November Picks
November is officially the start of cozy season. The days get shorter, the temperatures drop, and suddenly a night at home—or watching the game with friends—sounds like the perfect way to spend an evening.
Between football weekends, Thanksgiving/Friendsgiving gatherings, and the start of holiday entertaining, there are plenty of reasons to plan an RSVP run. Whether you’re picking up a bottle for the dinner table or looking for something new to pour at your next get-together, RSVP is here to help you find just the right drink for the occasion.
This month we’re featuring a Honey Brown Lager from Cushnoc Brewing, a Sicilian red wine, and a liquor reminiscent of the viral Dubai chocolate.
November Beer, Wine, and Liquor of the Month
Our November Beer of the Month is Cushnoc Honey Brown Lager. Brewed with honey and crystal malts and a touch of New England honey, this refreshing 5.2% lager features a smooth, toasty and nutty character with a touch of sweetness on the finish. 4-packs of 16 oz cans are available for $14.99.
Mary Taylor Sicilia Rosso is our November Wine of the Month. From the sunny coast of western Sicily, this easy-drinking red is made from Nero d’Avola, the island’s signature grape. Bright acidity and fresh, fruity flavors give it a lively, balanced feel, with a lighter touch than many Sicilian reds. Organically farmed and unoaked, it’s a great bottle to enjoy with dinner or share with friends. Bottles are available for $12.99 each.
Our November Liquor of the Month is Casa Maestri Pistachio Chocolate Cream Dubai Style Liqueur. If you love Dubai chocolate, this indulgent cream liqueur is right up your alley! Made with tequila from Jalisco, Mexico, it combines creamy pistachio and rich chocolate for a dessert-inspired drink with a smooth finish and a hint of agave. Enjoy it chilled or over ice, add a splash to your coffee, or use it to give an espresso martini a decadent twist. It’s also a fun addition to dessert cocktails—or simply a sweet treat to sip after dinner. Pick up a bottle for $29.99.
