Drinkhacker has a review up of 10 Cane Rum; popular at bars, this rum is made from sugar juice. Not for straight shots, its versatile, smoky flavor is best mixed with cocktails.

It’s like two sins for the price of one: Tabasco has teamed up with Heaven Hill Distilleries to release Tabasco Spicy Tequila. Oh, the Mojitos and Sangritas we’ll make with this…

The slick bottle work is no accident: Agavero Tequila is essentially a gateway tequila. It’s relatively smooth at 64 proof and is sweetened with Damiana flowers; the latter is a mild aphrodisiac.
