Uproxx Features In Good Company Hospitality In 15 Bartenders Tell Us The Best Spirits To Bring To A Tailgate

Spencer Elliot, head bartender at Mondrian Terrace in New York City

“The best spirit for a tailgate is hands down an approachable bourbon. Pairs with any mixer. I’d go with an Elijah Craig or Larceny bourbon out of Bardstown, KY, depending on your budget. The mash bill of rye, barley, and corn make for a great highball or, if someone scores, and smooth celebratory shot.”
