Does anyone actually know where their copper mugs are? 🤷♀️
Good news: You don't need 'em.
Meet the newest member of our RTD family: our Central Standard Mule. We’ve perfectly balanced the spicy kick of premium ginger beer with a splash of crisp lime and our award-winning Standard Issue Vodka — tastes like a top-shelf pour, straight from the can.
No muddling, no measuring, no mess. Just you and a perfectly chilled Mule.
Whether you’re poolside or porch-side, the perfect cocktail is now just a "pop" away.
It’s time of week, foodies! TGIF! Get yourself a fish fry! @thecentralstandard has a very good fish fry. 🐟😋

Dockside pours, done right. 🌊🥃
Crafted one barrel at a time, our small-batch Bourbon Whiskey builds on a recipe from the 1800s — made from a mash of corn, rye, and barley, pot distilled and aged in new American white oak barrels.
The result? Rich color, smooth caramel notes, and just a hint of rye spice — perfect for slow sips as the sun hits the lake.
Whether you’re posted up dockside or just wishing you were, this is a bourbon meant to be savored. Check out more of our products, link in bio.
IIt’s that time of year again! ⚾️ 🌭 🍻

Grab your crew and let’s toast to a brand new season. The best pairings aren’t found at the concession stand—they’re found with good friends and a cold drink. 🥃
