Whether it’s pregaming before a celebratory night out or hosting an intimate get together, ring in the New Year with these ultimate bar essentials:

Kingfly Spirits has recently rolled out the red carpet in a new lineup of star-studded spirits that includes its Kingfly Rye, Gin, Orange Liqueur, Chamomile Liqueur, and Coffee Liqueur. Cheers to class and style with these unexpected tastes that perfect your at-home cocktails or enjoy the simplicity of the spirit as is in a glass. The Kingfly Chamomile Liqueur stems from chamomile flowers macerating in Kingfly Grappa for 8 months and is sweetened with honey for a lightly sweet, bodied finish. Uniquely, the Kingfly Gin delivers the delish notes of juniper, lavender, citrus, and sandalwood with a smooth, earthy finish.
