LiveWire Cocktail Co. recently teamed up with cocktail book author Shannon Mustipher for its new bottling, Holy Tyger.
“One of my favorite things about NYC’s drinking culture is the ‘nutcracker’ – and the enterprising individuals that have turned selling them into a lucrative side hustle,” Mustipher said in a prepared statement. “The Holy Tyger is perfect for a park or beach hang – think of it as my elevated answer to the nutcracker – easy to drink, straight up or on the rocks.”
Mustipher also stands as LiveWire’s first East Coast bartender collaborator, using what’s described as taxonomy as a way to dig deeper into her own knowledge, while using that understanding to then push boundaries and explore. With this, she educates and works with brands to help consumers grow their understanding of different spirits and drinks.
Quick whisky question
Single malt is everywhere, but what does it mean? We want to know what the word “single” means to you. Three quick questions, under a minute.
After launching a Caribbean rum-focused bar at Gladys Caribbean in 2014, she went on to found Women Who Tiki, a tropical cocktail-centric pop-up that gathers a team of women bartenders to share their talents and collaborate on creating a one-night-only experience. Mustiphers’s writing, recipes, and opinions have been featured in a number of publications, including Vinepair, Saveur, Imbibe, GQ.com, and Liquor.com.
Created in Los Angeles and produced in Ventura, CA, LiveWire was founded in March 2020 by LA bartender Aaron Polsky, who works with the world’s best bartenders to create canned cocktails. Holy Tyger will stand as LiveWire’s second bottle release, following Alley Cat Old Fashioned by Chris Patino.
Holy Tyger is available in a 375ml bottle for a retail price of $24.99 in California and New York and on the distillery’s official website.
