For a caffeine-fueled kick, the Espresso Martini mixes Fris Vodka, Fair Café Liqueur, and Solo Cold Brew Coffee for a smooth, bold pick-me-up. Fancy something with a hint of warmth? The Two Ton of Fun with Buffalo Trace Bourbon, warm spices, citrus, and lemon is as big and bold as it sounds.

Or go tropical with the Radlerita, where Ocho Blanco Tequila, lime, and agave meet the refreshing hit of Stiegl Grapefruit Radler.

Feeling brave? Dive into the Game Over — Fris Vodka, gin, rum, and tequila with banana liqueur, absinthe, and topped with Tropical Red Bull. It’s not for the faint-hearted, but we know you’re up for it.

Whatever you’re sipping, pair it with a burger for the full MEATliquor experience. After all, nothing beats good food and great drinks.
