The viral “12 Nights of Cocktails” advent calendar from Straightaway Cocktails is back!

by | Oct 7, 2025

Straightaway Cocktails is known for its spirit-forward & perfectly balanced craft cocktails made with the finest PNW ingredients, including housemade liqueurs, vermouth, and bitters. Volume 2 of their fan-favorite “12 Nights of Cocktails” advent calendar, featuring four new cocktails, is available for purchase on their website or at their tasting room in SE Portland. 

The 12 Nights of Cocktails advent calendar is thoughtfully styled as a holiday book inspired by the writings of Straightaway’s muse, cocktail aficionado and author Charles H. Baker Jr.. The 12 curated cocktails take you on a journey through the diverse flavors and intricate tastes encapsulated within Straightaway’s tiny but mighty 3.4oz cans with ABVs ranging from 20%-40% ABV.

A choose-your-own-adventure of sorts, this advent calendar can be enjoyed day by day as a personal tasting experience or unboxed at a party for group sampling, making it an ideal gift for the cocktail-curious and mixologists alike. The full list of included cocktails is below my signature, with standouts including the brand new Last Word and Gold Negroni, plus the Best in Class award-winning Mai Tai (RTD of the year!) + Oregon Old Fashioned (Best in Class, etc.), and more.

The calendar is now available at Straightaway’s Hawthorne tasting room or on Straightaway’s website, priced at $59.95, and can be shipped nationwide to 45 states. It is linked HERE.
