These New Year's Eve cocktails have a patriotic twist to ring in 2023
Vodka and bourbon from veteran-owned businesses are the featured spirits
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Wildhorse Saloon's restaurant operations manager showcased two "All-American cocktails" that will be available during Fox's All-American New Year celebration this year in Nashville, Tennessee — and can be made at home by anyone.
Speaking on "Fox & Friends Weekend" on Saturday, Dec. 31, Stephen D'Amico showed off two specialty cocktails for co-hosts Will Cain, Rachel Campos-Duffy and Pete Hegseth.
The cocktails featured liquors that honor America's veterans.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The All-American cocktail is "reminiscent of a rocket pop," said D'Amico, and features Sprite, grenadine, Heroes Vodka and blue Curaçao.
"First we're going to start with the grenadine," said D'Amico as he poured the syrup into a pint glass filled with ice.

Next, D'Amico added Heroes Vodka and Sprite, taking care to layer the spirit on top of the grenadine for a gradient effect.
Heroes Vodka is made in Frankfort, Kentucky — and was founded by U.S. Marine Corps veteran Travis McVey, its website notes.
"Heroes donates a lot of its proceeds — it's a veteran-owned vodka company, and they donate a lot of their proceeds to veterans," said D'Amico.

To finish the drink, D'Amico added a floater of blue Curaçao.
"And you're red, white and blue. All American," said D'Amico.

D'Amico then showed his twist on the Old Fashioned with a drink he called "I've Got Your Six."
"Got your 6" is a military term originating from World War I, meaning, "I got your back," the website for the Bob Woodruff Foundation's "Got Your 6 Network" notes.

Soldier Valley is affiliated with country singer Lee Greenwood, "so we know it's patriotic," said Campos-Duffy.

Just as Heroes Vodka does, Soldier Valley Spirits makes donations to support veterans and first responders, explained D'Amico.
The "I've Got Your Six" cocktail was finished off with simple syrup, "a drip of bitters" and garnishes of maraschino cherries and an orange peel.
