CHAIR'S MESSAGE
Virginia ABC-Keeping You Safe
and Stocked.
Virginians are reacting to COVID-19
in many ways. Happy hours have
migrated from favorite restaurants
to home patios and dens. With
increased emphasis placed on
staying at home, people are
adopting pets, revisiting old
pastimes, exploring new hobbies
and trying creative cocktail recipes.
ABC customers are enjoying the
expediency of shopping for spirits
online at www.abc.virginia.gov and
requesting convenient curbside
pickup. In the Commonwealth's
Maria J. K. Everett
more heavily populated areas,
customers in Hampton Roads, Richmond and Northern Virginia are appreciating
the ease of utilizing home shipping for their online orders.
Before you shop online, browse the pages of Spirited Virginia magazine for
inspiration. In this issue we offer readers dozens of new cocktail and food recipes,
perfect not only for socially distanced happy hours but future holiday gatherings.
Explore Savory Fall Cocktails on page 30. Our Friendsgiving story on page 14
includes delicious recipes for foods cooked with spirits and fun recipes for amazing
batch cocktails. The recipe for Hotel Roanoke's Bread Pudding with bourbon sauce
is decadent! Who knew that leftover bread combined with heavy cream, sugar and
eggs could create such a delicious platform for this rich bourbon sauce?!
Virginia ABC salutes veterans and active duty personnel serving in all branches of
the military. Our story on page 22 explore distilleries and products with ties to the
military.
The holidays are fast approaching, and Virginia ABC is ready. Our store shelves boast
holiday bottles in beautiful boxes, many that include extra gifts at the same cost of
just the bottle. See pages 3 - 5 for a sample of some of these value added products.
Whether you're shopping for a gift for yourself or someone else, our gift guide that
begins on page 34 offers suggestions for Secret Santas in any price range.
In addition to this content our ongoing columns highlight several distilleries in
Southwest Virginia, a bartender from the Northern Neck and an outstanding ABC
store employee from Richmond.

As our country continues to deal with the effects of COVID-19, I remind you of
the importance of wearing a mask or other face covering when you're in public
places, including Virginia ABC stores. Wearing a mask signals your concern for
the safety of your fellow citizens. However you decide to celebrate the upcoming
holidays during this new normal, do it safely.
Raise a glass and a mask!
