At Stark, we’re more than just your local NH brewery. We’re also a distillery that’s been working behind the scenes since 2016 to provide some of the very best curated spirits!
We celebrated National Rum Day with a few cocktail ideas in one of our previous articles. Today we want to bring your attention to Stark Vodka and provide some seasonal cocktails to mix up this fall! Although National Vodka Day was October 4th, we’re using it as an excuse to give you two delicious cocktail recipes.
Here are some fall cocktails ideas that you can make with distilled vodka from your favorite NH brewery and distillery!
