Welcome to our Thirsty Thursday series. Every Thursday, we're bringing you cocktail recipes for a weekend warmup that can't be beat. So without further adieu...
Get Summer Started With Killer Cocktails
Welcome to June, y'all! Where the days are long, the weekends are short, and the best drinks are summertime in a glass. We've got a serious crush on June, to be honest. There air is thick with anticipation and a slight whiff of sunblock, and we're here for it. We're pulling out the pool toys, firing up the grill, and - of course - we're on the hunt for that perfect summer sip. Because nothing gives those vacay vibes like a killer cocktail by the pool or a delicious drink as the sun sinks low from your spot on the patio.
White Claw Gives Us The Summer Sads
Those go-to drinks that some of y'all cling to really give us the summer sads. White Claw, guys? Really? And those of you who love a good Red Bull and vodka? That hurts our heart. And don't even tell us that they have cocktails in a can now that are just as good. We know better. We've tried those cocktails. That canned cosmo from last summer lingers still on the tongue and stirs up feelings of disdain that we aren't prepared to confront just yet. But the most egregious cocktail crime of all? The pre-mixed old fashioned. The abomination! My god. What have we become?
Drink In The Best Of Summer
Annnnnyway... we're here to get things back on track with super fresh weekly cocktail recipes meant to let you literally drink in the very best of summer. Cocktails that are an instant hit at the backyard barbecue. Cocktails that beg you to slow down and savor the moment. We're bringing you cocktails that are so memorable that each time you bring one to your lips, it takes you back to the summer of 2023. That summer when you walked away from malt liquor once and for all.
Welcome To A Top Shelf Experience
We're bringing you a top shelf experience here. These creations taste great, of course, but each drink is crafted from high quality ingredients. This means that while you're shaking up your new signature drink, you're also building a well-stocked bar with spirits that will keep those craft cocktails flowing well into the New Year.

Are we heroes? Maybe. Magic? Probably a little bit. But its pretty simple, really. Here at ToMo, we're genuinely enthusiastic about bringing you an assortment of spirits that will make any season one to remember. So what do you say? Kick those coozies to the curb. Slather on the sunblock, bust out the banana hammock, and let's get summer started right. Here we go...
