Our picks for what to drink during the weeklong celebration of all things NY

It's time to celebrate all things New York — at least regarding cocktail culture. Next week marks the inaugural New York Bartender Week , an initiative that salutes bartenders, barbacks, bar/restaurant owners and hoteliers in New York City and the rest of the state. Running from November 18-24, more than 180 participating bars will serve New York-themed cocktails that incorporate at least one spirit produced locally in the Empire State.

The holidays, as you are likely aware, can be costly. One place you can save, while in no way skimping on quality, is your choice of whisk(e)y for a holiday party. We've chosen five bottles, all under (or, depending on where you're shopping, around) $50, that we would be proud to bring to any gathering at any time of year. From Scotch and bourbon to Irish and rye…whatever your preference, we've got you covered.

The end of the year can mean a lot of different things to people. And the occasions, often celebratory, aren't uniform. You've got holiday parties, family gatherings, New Year's fetes and even times home alone (or with a loved one) for thoughtful contemplation. And Tuesdays.
