Mammoth’s Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Bottoms Up

By Krista Weaver | Feb. 26, 2022

If a Moscow Mule and a Dark & Stormy met on the banks of the Volga River and had a passionate but brief affair that culminated in what passionate, brief nighttime affairs in storms often do, their lovechild no doubt would be this bundle of joy: Mammoth Distilling’s Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Blending Mammoth Distillery’s own whiskey with house-made pineapple jalapeno mixer and Northwoods Ginger Beer, it’s at once sweet, refreshing, and alarmingly spicy. Much like its comrade dad and mercurial mother upon learning the results of their union, it’ll leave you saying, “WTF?” (But in a very, very good way.) $10. We got ours at Mammoth Distilling Cocktail Lounge, 221 Garland St., Suite D, in Traverse City. Find other locations at mammothdistilling.com.
