Have a Bourbon or Scotch
tasting party. Each guest
brings a bottle of his or her
favorite whiskey to share with
the group. Really, any spirit
will do!
Host a blind tasting. Supply
the liquors or ask guests to
bring them. Put each bottle in
a brown paper bag, pour tiny
tastes of each and see who can
identify the liquor.
Pro tip: post a list of each
spirit and provide paper and
pens for noting guesses. No
need to be formal-you can

merely number the bags
and let your friends sample
at their leisure. Variations
include a variety of whiskies,
such as Canadian, Scotch, rye
and bourbon; one spirit, such
as bourbon, from inexpensive
to premium; or a variety
of spirits, like aged rum,
tequila, bourbon and brandy.
Have a spirits-based white
elephant gift exchange.
Each guest brings a wrapped
bottle to exchange, based
on a pre-set dollar amount
and spirit. Guests draw
numbers, then Number One
picks and opens one wrapped
present. Number Two picks
an unwrapped present or
"steals" Number One's bottle
(in which case Number One
picks again). And so on, till
each guest has a new bottle
to enjoy.
