Celebrate America's 250th Birthday with A Spirited Journey through Drinking History

Each month in 2026, we're taking you on an adventure through time, chronologically highlighting the spirits that built America from 1776 to today. Enjoy a specialty cocktail representing each era of American History, and learn some fun facts about the indomitable art of American drinking along the way. 

January (1770s-1790s)

Revolutionary Rum

The War for American Independence was fueled by determination, ingenuity, and rum. In honor of the intrepid early American heroes, we present January's specialty cocktail: 

Washington's Sherry Tree

In collaboration with Cotton + Reed Distillery, we've created a deliciously spicy concoction of Cotton + Reed's PX Dark Rum, Sherry, Allspice Dram, and Angustora Bitters that's perfect for banishing the Winter chill. 

We cannot tell a lie, this cocktail is simply decadent. Try it at Jackie throughout January, and raise a glass to Rum!
