The Walking Dead’s Ross Marquand Creates a Signature Cocktail Kit

With the final episode of The Walking Dead airing tonight, fans are celebrating all the good the hit AMC series has brought to their life over the last 12 years.

And while it’s hard to say goodbye to a series that has meant so much to us all, it’s easy to celebrate all the good times that the show has brought to us. And that’s exactly what one company is doing. Cocktail Courier has teamed up with the official whiskey of The Walking Dead, The Sexton Single Malt, to create a limited edition cocktail offering.

But that’s not even the best part. What makes this even cooler is that the kit was created by The Walking Dead‘s very own, Ross Marquand (AKA Aaron). So needless to say, this is a cocktail kit that is uniquely suited for Walking Dead fans!

FanBolt’s Taste Test

I’m working on a video that I’ll share to Instagram here that will walk you through how to make the cocktail. But until then, I have to say, the show may be ending tonight, but this cocktail will be made for years to come in our household. I’m no stranger to whiskey and scotch cocktails, and I have to say, this is one of the best ones I’ve had. It’s the perfect balance of bright and light while still having that delightful smokey taste!
