A Bartender's Record Label, in a Can
LiveWire works like a record label for bartenders: each drink is created by a named bartender, fronted by them, and shared in like an artist's release. Golden God is founder Aaron Polsky's own track — Polsky, who ran the rock'n'roll cocktail program at Harvard & Stone in Los Angeles after Amor y Amargo in New York, launched LiveWire in Los Angeles in March 2020, with the first cans produced days before lockdown. Golden God is his apricot whiskey highball: rye spice and brandy richness lifted by apricot, green tea and elderflower, carbonated for the can. Find it with our other ready-to-drink cocktails, or browse the label's roster on the LiveWire vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Apricot and floral elderflower over a whiskey base. Palate: Sparkling and easy-drinking — juicy apricot first, rye and brandy warmth underneath, green tea keeping it lifted rather than sweet. Finish: Light, floral and refreshing.
How to Enjoy
Ice-cold, straight from the can or over ice in a highball glass with the garnish of your choice. At 7.5% it is a session-strength serve built for outdoors and long afternoons.
