Spirited Virginia Q2 2022 - 2

CHAIR'S MESSAGE
Spring! For many of us this time of
the year, more so than the arrival of
the new year, is a time of renewal and
celebration.
In this issue of Spirited Virginia we celebrate
brides and babies in our feature Spring
Showers on page 20. The themed cocktail
recipes for guests are a great idea-doesn't
a Watermelon Crush or a Cucumber Mint
Spritz sound refreshing? Plus, we share
three party-planning strategies and have
included mocktail recipes for moms-to-be.

Looking for another reason to have fun? Mix
up a classic Mint Julep or a trendy Thin Mint
Julep in preparation for Derby Day. Read
more about this iconic horse race and find
julep recipes on page 14.
Our other two feature stories take you into the classroom for lessons in economics
and international affairs. Learn how Virginia ABC is responding to product supply and
demand issues related to the pandemic in Econ 101: ABC Style (page 40) and bone up
on soju, the popular Korean spirit (page 32).
We're proud to introduce a new column-Cooking with Spirits! See page 13 for a
simple, yet delicious addition to your breakfast with Kahlúa French toast. Try it this
weekend!
This issue's Distilleries column visits The Tarnished Truth Distillery in Virginia Beach's
legendary Cavalier Hotel. Read more about the bourbon, gin, vodka, moonshine and
canned Coastal Cocktail lines produced by Andrew Yancy and his team.
And we would be remiss if we didn't give a nod to Cinco de Mayo. See our Gift Guide
on page 30 for product suggestions to kick off your May 5 celebration. We've even
included a Virginia-made whiskey, Copper Fox Rye, for those who aren't into tequila.
Lastly, I'm pleased to invite you to take our latest reader survey for your chance to win a
$250 ABC gift card. As we near the beginning of our eighth year in publication we'd like
to know what you think about our magazine. We value your feedback. See page 46 for
the URL to this survey.
Raise a glass and, please, roll up your sleeve!
