Knicks Cocktails That Bring Madison Square Garden Home for the NBA Finals
Can you believe it’s been nearly 30 years since the New York Knicks last appeared in the NBA Finals? It was the year 1999, to be exact. I was still very much in high school and we were all freaking out about Y2K. As an Atlanta sports fan, I can definitely relate to Knicks diehards finally seeing their team on the biggest stage in basketball again.
And I’m sure I don’t have to say it, but this is absolutely an occasion worth celebrating. With Game 1 kicking off tonight at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, you’re going to need a solid roster of cocktails to get the party started.

I Tried the Wanderfull Hydrobag—And It’s the Unexpected Upgrade Every Wine Lover Needs
We’re only a few weeks into spring and I’ve already lugged around more wine bottles than I can count. Whether I’ve had to bring a bottle of Chardonnay to a friend’s game night or pack a bottle of Pinot Grigio for a picnic, I find that I always have a bottle of wine in hand.
But the thing is I’m kinda clumsy. The idea of holding a glass bottle of wine while also trying to find my lipgloss while also texting is a little overwhelming. Honestly, the fact that a bottle of wine has never slipped out of my hand is a miracle.

Atlanta’s FIFA Fan Fest Is Offering a VIP Experience With Complimentary Cocktails and Food
If you live in one of the cities FIFA World Cup will be heading to next month, then I’m sure there’s plenty of excitement in the air. Here in Atlanta, the city is in a bit of a frenzy getting things together for the big game. It feels a lot like when company is coming over, and you need to fix the light bulb in your fridge, deep clean the bathroom, and buy new hand towels at Ross. Despite that, I have hope in my city.
For both Atlanta residents and visitors, one of the highlights of World Cup will be the FIFA Fan Fest. The free festival, which will last 18 days, is described as “a lively gathering place where fans, families, and visitors come together to celebrate the game.”
This Might Be the Ultimate Summer Camping Cocktail—And It’s Just 2 Ingredients
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of visiting the Postcard Cabins in Lake Hartwell, South Carolina. Formerly known as the Getaway Cabins, the cabins are tiny, but cozy. Naturally, we arrived at the Postcard Cabins stocked with a small arsenal of spirits (and wine) for our five-day stay.
But there was one particular spirit I was most interested in trying during our trip: Licor 43 Caramel Cookie. I was sitting on the bottle for a few weeks, because I knew we’d be traveling to the cabins, and figured Licor 43 Caramel Cookie would be the perfect companion for a cabin trip.
Jägermeister Just Released a Fruity New Summer Flavor—But It Won’t Be Here for Long
When you think about the distinct flavor profile of the OG Jägermeister, it likely isn’t going to summon memories of warm, sun-drenched days. With notes of black licorice, anise, and citrus, Jägermeister is more reminiscent of a fireside nightcap than a poolside pour.
Well, that’s about to change now that Jägermeister has unveiled a summer-forward, new flavor. Earlier this week, the brand introduced Jägermeister Orange, a spirit that’s described as “a bright, citrus-forward twist on the original.” Heavy on the citrus, each bottle of Jägermeister Orange includes the oils of three Sicilian oranges.
