2023 Q1 Spirited VA - 2

CHAIR'S MESSAGE
It's a new year! In this issue of Spirited
Virginia, we bring you new spirits, new
recipes and new ideas for entertaining.
Every football fan in the country will
have eyes on February's big game. If your
budget (just who can afford $4,731 for a
cheap ticket?) doesn't include a seat in
Arizona's State Farm Stadium, we've got
you covered for hosting your own Super
Bowl watch party in the comfort of your
home. Story begins on page 16.
Maria J. K. Everett
Increasing numbers of spirits enthusiasts
are hopping aboard the gin train. Virginia
ABC has tracked a 2.1% uptick in sales for
this spirit category in the past four years
with more than 25 gins produced right
here in the commonwealth. Learn about the nuances of gin in Gin-uary on page 44.
Also seeing an increase in popularity are Black-owned spirits. We take a close-up
look at 11 minority-owned companies and the spirits they produce. Read the stories
of Suffolk-based InGenious Gin, Waynesboro's Whiskey Wright and other national
distilleries. Story begins on page 30.
The days of supersizing are taking a back seat as consumers opt for moderation
rather than overindulgence. This trend goes for cocktails, too. The choice to sip
responsibly is illustrated in Small Cocktails, Big Enjoyment on page 50. Good things
do come in small packages. Discover inventive, petite cocktails with new tastes and
fewer calories. Tinegroni, anyone?
Since you're saving calories in your cocktail, consider whipping up a yummy Red
Velvet Cake for Valentine's Day. The Irish Cream frosting will have you saying, " I love
you. " If it doesn't, this quarter's Signature Cocktail, Cupid's Cloud, will help. Recipes
are on pages 14 and 15.
Read about the Wasmund family and Copper Fox Distillery's product lineup in our
Distilleries column. If you want to see how these Virginia treasures are distilled, you
can visit either the Williamsburg or Sperryville location.
We recognize Store Manager Marc Beacham from Norfolk in our Spotlight on Service
column and Rebekkah Damiana, managing partner and owner of Lynchburg's {RA}
Bistro, in our Behind the Bar column. These people are examples of the many who
help bring great spirts and cocktails to consumers across the commonwealth.
Raise a glass!
