SNAP Liquor

As men, it’s hard to dispute the claim that the way to our hearts is through our stomach. Make us a steak, bake us some cookies, roasts, whatever. We love food and we have no problem admitting it. A bunch of guys got together and formed Art In The Age to do what all men have thought about doing – make liquor. While another vodka, bourbon, or scotch would have sufficed, they chose to go a different route and make what is essentially ginger Snap liquor. They called it Snap (see what they did there?) and it’s an organic spirit based on the same ginger snap cookies gramma has been making for decades – the kind with blackstrap molasses and fresh ginger. It’s liquor that tastes like a ginger snap, and that’s enough for us. $40
