My daughter…read moresaid let's try it sure why not we entered and we encountered Autumn the bartender and we ask about the eight shots for six dollars she said that is a moonshine tasting sure let's try it. best decision ever autumn was very knowledgeable of the drinks. She was amazing and the moonshine oh my God, the banana was my favorite follow by the peanut butter and chocolate then the coconut then we move to the passionfruit , the Mandarin , Coquito the spiced and finally the pure moonshine if you are in the Orlando area close to the premium outlets go and try that it's an amazing experience. Next time we will do the tour of the distillery we did tastings and a free cocktail for around $70. I cannot wait to try this again.

Lugo's Craft Distillery, can you say hand crafted elegant RUM cocktails; yes that is right RUM…read more OMG, I surely wasn't expecting to love rum as much as I did on this visit. The venue is chic and in my opinion elegant. It was tight and a little cloistered, you can squeeze about 50 or so people in there. Even so, there is a limited bar area and lounge type seating with couches, etc. I came on a Thursday evening and got to meet a few of the refulars. Really like this place. So imagine classic craft cocktails like an old fashion or a martini, but with RUM. That blows my mind. I had a smoked old fashion and it was smoother with the rum and tasted just as good. A few things you need to know. There are no menus except for a QR code. You can set up an account and order that way. If they are not too busy, you can also order the old fashioned way by talking to a human. The humans on this visit were Chad the bartender and Alex who I think was the manager. Alex was both knowledgeable, friendly and I think the creator of many of these genius cocktails. I really need to go back because on this trip we were on a budget. The drinks are on average between $14 - $18 and well worth the price, but as you can imagine the bill can get "bigly" pretty quick if you lose track enjoying the fantastic ligation.

It's very clear that he's passionate about what he does and the fact that it's a family business. I had found this on Groupon and took my Dad and we both had a blast! The shot glasses are a nice touch too. The whiskey is delicious. Part of our tasting included the first ever batch of his Black Ox, which was super cool (and very smooth). The different types of liquor are delicious, especially the Coquito! The Coquito tastes like coconut milk, and there are apple pie and honey and lemon flavors as well. In all of them, you can tell that he uses real ingredients and a lot of care to make sure it tastes the best that it can. The distillery is in a warehouse, so it's a little hard to find. But if you call him, he is very thorough with his directions and will wait a little to make sure everyone gets to participate. Parking wasn't an issue when we went because there are spots right in front of the warehouse. It was a little warm (it is Florida after all) and it's not an enclosed/air-conditioned structure so dress accordingly! But he has fans and stuff to help with that and the tasting room does have AC.

It's a cute place inside - it's clean and well decorated, the staff is very friendly, and most importantly they really put the CRAFT in craft cocktails. They're dehydrating their own garnishes, and they taste and smell delicious! There is no mocktail menu, but the gentleman bartender (with the fancy mustache!) offered to make one for my companion. It was amazing... we still talk about it today. Creamy, dreamy, sour/sweet, strawberry goodness. It was a ten out of ten. I had this creative and fun cocktail made with Hawaiian Punch foam. I was worried it'd be overly sweet, but decided to go for it. So glad I did - super balanced and just perfect! My only complaint was that we were pressed for time and only had time for one round. That's on us! LOL. Next time I'm remotely close by, I would stop in for more fabulous drinks here!

I've been trying to stop into this distillery for years, but my timing was always off. Either they were closed that day i was there or not opening before I left. But today, the starts aligned. If you know, John and I love going to small craft/ small batch distilleries & we have the bar to back that up. Years of learning what we love and what we (I really) don't. I was all interested in the bourbon! And they delivered! Every batch is a one and done, with every new batch trying to be better and more refined than the last. Reminds me of myself, I'm always moving forward & trying to do better! Loved the bourbon. The Winter Park Arts Festival blend was phenomenal! Then... I tried the Gincident and that was an easy yes, let's take that bottle home. Meanwhile, Chase was bragging about their Best Espresso Martini.... hmmm, prove it. Made with bourbon, omg yes please. Proprietary blend of coffee, vodka made in house and yes, it was one of my to three I've ever had! And now I want to start trying various bourbons to make one at home!

To be honest, we thought we were coming to a brewery and quickly realized it was a distillery. We walked in and noticed a bunch of outdoor seating. It was the perfect night so we looked forward to sitting outside. The atmosphere was busy, but laid back. We entered into the dimly lit establishment at Harry Potter playing on the TV (win!). It was a speakeasy-esque vibe and I loved it. We ordered an old-fashioned and espresso martini which were quickly brought to our table. They indicated that the espresso martini was the best one in town, so naturally I had to try it. I would definitely say it takes top five. We sat outside and had a great evening at this place. We will definitely be back and look forward to it.

They had quite a lineup for tasting. And the samples are free! I enjoyed their orange blossom sweet tea vodka. The orange blossom makes it a little different than the usual sweet tea vodkas. On the menu, they have a John Daly cocktail. As a golfer and a fan of golf, I was destined to enjoy this cocktail. And their prices! Talk about a bargain! My drink was only $7.99. We had a few more samples and then I spied their seasonal frozen drink. It's a spiked "hot" cocoa! That frozen drink was so good. You could not detect the vodka in it but I'm sure it would kick in. I just had a sip of my husband's. So good. The store is super cute. They were busy decorating the place with Christmas stuff- even though Christmas is literally around the corner! Haha. A bit late but much appreciated. They have quite a bit of merchandise. Some is loggerhead and some is just cute gift type- for example- their tea towels are funny! I grabbed two for Christmas gifts. They have shirts, coffee mugs and tons of bar glassware. You can even buy bottles of their spirits. The place is a bit small. There's a Large table that seats about ten people and then standing room. You can see right into their distillery from the windows. Their spirits are offered at a few local restaurants, including The district, which is next door. Parking is along the street. The little lot across from them is gone- it's undergoing construction to be some retail building. Definitely stop by when you're in the area. Have a free taste, get a cocktail and pick up some gifts. Support local!

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more 21st Amendement Distillery is one of two distilleries operating in Vero Beach, and the "younger" of the two, too. Located within the heart of Historic Downtown Vero Beach, it is a fine place to visit if you want to enjoy a cocktail on the rocks. My good friend Patrick and I hit this place up, and I will say, it is defintely a distillery I would love to come back to. Maybe enjoy a nice cigar with my scotch bourbon. Though an address is provided, 21st Amendment Distillery (which I will shorthand to 21st for the remainder of this review) is located on a "minor road" that seems to run one end at the Indian River Chamber of Commerce all the way to American Icon Brewery. The parking situation includes street parking along 13th Avenue. Take note only the west side of the street has angled pull-in parking, while the east side of the street are parallel parking spots. There are some dedicated parking lots and even a parking garage but they are a couple of blocks away. Decor-wise, the outdoor seating arangement fits with the modern style Downtown Vero Beach is aiming for, but inside is an amazing mix of today's modern aesthetic without being overly modern and throwback to the 1920s and 1930s. Why? Because between 1920 to 1933, the United States had prohibition. It wasn't until 1933 the 21st Amendment repelled prohibition thus legalizing alcohol. And now you know why 21st is known as it is. Back to decor, 21st uses a lot of mahogany and wood (or at least it looks like it) furniture along with leather seating. There is a small outcrop of a stage for performers to entertain guests who come in and enjoy a glass of spirits. The bar looks like something out of a old Chicago mystery flick, and there is an area of lounge chairs reminiscent of a smoking room. Remember I said I would smoke a cigar here with my drink? Apparently, 21st has a fine selection of cigars. I did not see any of the patrons smoking any there, but I am sure if they provide it, it would be an option. As for my drink, I was suggested by our beautiful waitress, Brittany, to get the Night Shift as an hommage to the fact I've been working night shift for way too long and need to go back on days. It is an agave spirit with bourbon cream and vanilla. Needless to say, it was delicious... and STRONG! Got Patrick a latte in which they decored the foam in the classic leaf often seen as coffee art. We also split their version of a charcuterie board. Now pricewise, the food and spirits were a little high, but I consider that more of a testament on the standing 21st has over the other alcoholic places within the area or even the city. Side notes: the men's restroom was clean and stocked, but it is a single-server. Take that into account if 21st happens to be full to the gills with patrons. Also, 21st is one of the businesses featured in the Treasure Coast Wine, Ale, and Spirits Trail. If you want to partake on an adventure seeking out the Treasure Coast's best breweries, distilleries, and other alcohol-related locations, check this trail out. Ultimately, 21st was an excellent place to enjoy a mixed drink with or without a cigar, by yourself or with friends, while listening to local acts perfect their craft. And to be fair, this is a local distillery and not an extension or branch, ergo, 21st gets my highest rating for an initial review, four out of five stars. If 21st remains consistent with their service, their drinks, their food, and the atmosphere they provide, I will then grant them their fifth star for consistency.

They offer classic cocktails, craft cocktails, and their distillery spirits. Not a drinker (you're in the wrong place, ha!), no problem, as they have non alcohol beverages / mixers as well as Mocktails! I ordered their Florida Gold Rum ($12.00). It's a rum that's aged 5 years in bourbon barrels and finished in a sherry cask barrel. It's balanced with notes of raisins, cooked bananas, caramelized fruit, along with oak derived vanilla.
