This NBA Team Is Giving Away Free Cutwaters at a ‘Single AF’ Pregame Mixer
There’s nothing quite like an Atlanta sports event. From swag surfing at a Falcons game to catching a sultry Ari Lennox performance during the Dream’s home opener, I’ve done it all this year. Our teams might struggle a bit sometimes, but I assure you that a good time is always had. But do you know what’s not a good time? Trying to find a date in Atlanta. Thankfully, a beloved home team has got you covered when it comes to finding your future bae, and just in time for Valentine’s Day.
The Golden Globes Gift Bag’s Booziest Offerings—And One Item Is Worth Over $100,000
You might want to start brushing up on your acting skills, because the details for the 83rd Annual Golden Globes gift bag have been revealed and it’s as luxe as ever. Although the exclusive gift bag features a dizzying assortment of lavish trips and experiences, beauty and wellness products, and more, I wanted to focus on the wine and spirits offerings. It is worth noting that while some wine and spirits gifts will be given to all recipients, a handful are reserved for one person or just a few people.
Atlanta’s Coziest Holiday Bar Is Where You Least Expect It—And Free Churros Are Involved
When I say Boqueria is one of my favorite restaurants, I mean it wholeheartedly. Because where else can you get a wickedly delicious grilled cheese stuffed with burrata and Serrano ham, and a mini Espresso Martini? With that being said, I was a little hesitant upon learning that the tapas restaurant would be hosting a holiday pop-up. Atlanta has been flooded with holiday bars in recent years and some of them could use a little added spirit, if you know what I mean. But I was pleasantly surprised.
Stella Rosa Debuts New Pistachio and Salted Caramel Cream Liqueurs
Pistachio is easily one of my all-time favorite flavors and fragrances. In fact, I just finished dousing myself in Paris Corner’s Pistachio fragrance (it’s delicious!). And pistachio is already proving itself to be quite the contender when it comes to unconventional holiday flavors. So it should come as no surprise that Stella Rosa is leaning into the trend with the release of its new Pistachio Cream Liqueur.
The decadent new liqueur is described as featuring rich, creamy pistachio notes with a smooth, nutty aroma, complemented by a delicate hint of vanilla. And it’s not the only new flavor joining Stella Rosa’s cream liqueur lineup this season. In addition to its Pistachio Cream Liqueur, the brand has also unveiled a Salted Caramel Cream Liqueur.
This NYC Rooftop Bar Serves Cozy Vibes And Great Cocktails—Plus It’s Open Year-Round
Who doesn’t love a cozy rooftop cocktail bar? There’s something so chic about sipping on an Aperol Spritz while perched a good 10 stories above the ground. No shade to second floor rooftop bars though! But there is a bit of opulence that comes with elevation. So I was super pleased to discover that a hotel I recently stayed at in New York City had its own rooftop bar. And it was enclosed, so you can enjoy it year-round.
High above Midtown Manhattan’s Kimpton Theta Hotel is Bar Sprezzatura, a rooftop destination that describes itself as a “rooftop bar with Italian Riviera charm.” The space is in fact super charming. There’s plenty of standard table seating, but there are also lots of plush couches and armchairs to lounge on.
15 Holiday Cocktails That Go Way Harder Than Your Elf On The Shelf
Holiday cocktails are by far my favorite genre of seasonal sips. As much as I love a ghoulish martini on Halloween or a romantic dessert cocktail on Valentine’s Day, holiday drinks are where it’s at. And by “holiday,” I pretty much mean all the weeks in between November 1 and about mid-January. So she is a lengthy season to say the last.
With many holiday parties only days away, I’ve already had friends hit me up about cocktail recommendations. The great thing about this time of year is that the options really are endless. You can go full-on fruity with a boozy punch, get decadent with a dessert inspired-sip or keep it classy with a festive twist on a classic cocktail.
Your Favorite Chili's Margarita Is Back for December (And We’ve Got Their Holiday Hours)
Last month, Chili’s had both margarita lovers and Wicked fans buzzing. The popular restaurant revealed that it would be rolling out two film-inspired cocktails: The Witches Brew Marg and The Good Witch Marg. And they want to keep that boozy momentum going with the return of a fan-favorite margarita for the month of December. To ensure that the holiday season remains as festive as possible, Chili’s is bringing back the $6 Merry Maker Marg.
This NYC Bar Serves A $21 Incredible Hulk Cocktail—And Yes, I Tried It
Elderly millennials, gather round and bring your Motorola RAZRs with you! I come bearing exciting news! Whether you’ve had the pleasure of trying an Incredible Hulk for yourself or heard about the cocktail via a rap song, chances are you’re familiar with the infamous drink. A true early 2000s gem, the Incredible Hulk got its distinct name because when you combine the two primary spirits, Hpnotiq and Hennessy, it turns green in color.
So get this, earlier this month I had an Incredible Hulk while visiting New York City and it was…wait for it…actually really good! It was one of the drinks served at Lower East Side cocktail bar, Lullaby.

When you’re counting down the days until the start of the holiday season, there’s a pretty good chance that you’re also eagerly awaiting the first sip of your fave festive libation. Mine is absolutely boozy eggnog (with dark rum please!). So when I had the chance to chat it up with Southern Charm alum Austen Kroll at Raising Cane’s Holiday Bike Giveaway in Times Square, I knew I had to ask about his favorites.
As the kiddos from the Harlem Boys & Girls Club jetted around in their shiny new bikes, I questioned Austen about his top NYC bars, his new THC seltzer line and his holiday drink go-tos. And I have to say that his favorite seasonal sips are pretty solid. Check ‘em out below and be sure to chime in with your own faves!
