 | This edition wraps up review month and I may have saved two of the best for last. If you're looking for a wonderful bottle of Scotch to impress anyone who needs impressing or need to reinvigorate your cocktail library, the first two entries below should be on your radar. Also, in a final attempt to let you know about all of the spirits I've been introduced to recently, I did a little speed reviewing yesterday and there's a little for every taste. You will also find a link to the entire month's worth of reviews in case you missed any. For the U.S. readers, please enjoy your holiday weekend responsibly, and have fun! I have included what will likely be the last round of summer cocktails of the year for you to browse and find the perfect cool libation for your weekend parties. Also, a big thank you to everyone who joined in on the Lemonade Contest, here are the entries, and we will have a winner for you soon. Cheers!

All you need on your shopping list is a Canadian whisky, mango rum, and iced tea. It's a great drink and perfect for the busy weekend ahead.
