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.
Applebee’s Is Serving Don Julio Margaritas in Tiny Pool Cups You Can Take Home
Pool season is getting started a little early thanks to a new collection of cocktails from Applebee’s. The restaurant has teamed up with Don Julio for a pair of new margaritas that taste like vacation in a glass.
Applebee’s “Poolio with Don Julio” sips include the Sunny Sipper Margarita and Belly Floppin’ Melon Margarita. And get this, each drink is served in a fun, pool-shaped souvenir cup that you get to take home.
Junior’s Cheesecake and a Beloved Brooklyn Brewery Just Dropped Four Dessert Beers (The Key Lime Flavor Sounds Unreal)
Back in my Brooklyn days, Junior’s Cheesecake was my absolute go-to for a sweet treat. That sweet treat usually came in the form of an Apple Crumb Cheesecake or a Red Velvet Cheesecake. Never in those days could I have imagined that I’d be able to enjoy a sweet treat in booze form.
Well, thanks to a collab between Junior’s and Brooklyn cult classic Other Half Brewing, we’re getting just that. The two have joined forces to release four “soon-to-be-famous new beers” that all feature a dessert component.
People Are Using This Stanley Tumbler for Cocktails—And It’s Kind of Genius
I’m already working with a pretty healthy Stanley collection over here, but I’m on the verge of letting Amazon influence me into buying yet another one. The product that’s currently chilling in my Amazon cart is the Stanley All Day Slim Bottle 20 oz. What really has me sold is that I’ve just discovered that people are using the bottle to store cocktails (and wine!!!).
“Great to go bottle for cocktails when camping. Doesn’t leak,” one reviewer shared on Amazon.
Cutwater’s New Banana Mudslide Flavor Is ‘Dangerously Delicious,’ According to Fans
Cutwater is really leaning into dessert-forward cocktails this year. Just a few months after their Chocolate Espresso Martini hit shelves, we’re getting yet another decadent flavor from the canned cocktail brand. Prepare to feel like you’ve checked into a five-star Bahamian resort, because the newest addition to the Cutwater lineup is Banana Mudslide.
Cutwater Banana Mudslide, which stands at 13% ABV, is made with vodka and coffee-cream liqueur with balanced notes of banana and chocolate.
Lance Bass and Joey Fatone Head to E! for New Mixology Competition ‘Cocktail Wars’
Well Netflix, you dragged your feet with season two of Drink Masters, and now boy band icons Lance Bass and Joey Fatone have swooped in with a mixology competition show of their own. As of this week, it’s officially confirmed that E! has greenlit Cocktail Wars, a new original mixology competition series.
The show is described as “a cocktail competition where the vibes are high, the drinks are strong, and the bragging rights are everything.”
Matthew McConaughey’s Mom Reveals Her Favorite Cocktail—Says Her Ex 'Had a Heart Attack Making Love to Me’
Did anyone else have any clue how beautifully unhinged Matthew McConaughey’s mom is? I had no idea. Lucky for us, as part of Pantalones Organic Tequila’s newly-released “Most Interesting Mom in the World” campaign, we get a hilariously candid introduction to Kay "MaMac" McConaughey.
In the pair of campaign videos from the Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves McConaughey-owned brand, the 94-year-old spilled the tea-quila on everything from her go-to cocktail to her epic final battle with “The Beast.” (Spoiler Alert: It’s one hell of a story.)
The Best Mini Coolers for Everything From Beach Days to Backyard Hangs
Mini coolers have come a long way over the past few years. For one, they’re no longer strictly styrofoam. And they’re also no longer found in the deep, dark corners of the dollar store. These days, brands like IGLOO and YETI are dropping mini coolers that are handbag chic, but are also major work horses.
What I love about a good mini cooler is that you can bring it just about anywhere. They’re perfect if you want to crack open a few cold ones in your backyard or if you need to pack away a few Cutwaters and a Pub Sub for your next beach trip. Personally, I’ve found that I use my collection of mini coolers the most for short trips and picnics in the park.
