•Vermont-based WhistlePig is introducing a limited edition Dank & Dry Old Fashioned Cocktail. It’s made through the addition of non-psychoactive cannabis terpenes to WhistlePig’s signature Barrel Aged Maple Old Fashioned recipe. It’s available online as a 750-ml. retailing at $50 or with the addition of a pig-shaped cocktail smoker and ‘dime baggie’ of cocktail smoking chips for $64.20. 100% of the proceeds of the limited edition will benefit the bartending community through New Orleans-based non-profit Turning Tables.

•Kobrand is launching Amaro Lucano Non-Alcoholic. The new non-alcoholic version of the amaro is said to retain the original’s complexity, featuring a blend of botanicals and herbs. It’s suggested to be used at a 1:1 ratio as a replacement in drinks that typically use spirits like gin or vodka. Amaro Lucano Non-Alcoholic is available through select retailers, bars, and restaurants nationwide, retailing at $30. The launch comes as non-alcoholic spirits rise rapidly from a small base in the U.S., with the category currently up 74% in Nielsen channels.
