If you follow us on Instagram, you’ve probably seen our adventures documenting restaurants, breweries and more throughout mid-Michigan this month. We hit a number of cities on our journey including Lansing, Cadillac, Lake City and Mt. Pleasant.

During our time in Lansing, the first stop on our trip, we had our fill of brews between Midtown Brewing Company, Lansing Brewing Company, and bars in the Arena District. By day two, we were looking to switch things up and stumbled upon American Fifth Spirits, our Pic of the Week.

Our cocktail cravings were fulfilled at American Fifth Spirits. We were delighted to find a distillery with such a wide-range of cocktails using their house-made spirits. We had a great time and were thoroughly impressed with Lansing’s first distillery.

Chris, our bartender, guided us through the ins-and-outs of Lansing’s first distillery. We enjoyed our Kentucky Pear, Hemingway, and Liquid Strawberry.

The drinks at American Fifth Spirits changes frequently, so view the current cocktail list on their website.
