If you were on a desert island with no immediate hope of rescue and you could only have a few supplies, what would you hope that you had with you? Probably some type of first aid kit, matches, blankets, maybe some food and water and means to make a shelter,…
There are currently over 9,000 breweries in the United States cranking out seemingly countless IPAs, stouts, pale ales, wheat beers, lagers, and every other style under the sun. And that's not to mention the many (many) incredible breweries in other countries. While each brewery typically has a specialty and flavor…
When it comes to the middle-of-the-road, flavorful tequila, it’s difficult to beat a well-made reposado. Reposado tequila is defined as a tequila that has been aged for at least two months (any less and it's a blanco), but no more than twelve months (longer aging leads to an añejo or…
All tequila starts as an unaged blanco. Put it in a barrel for at least two months and up to a year, and you have a reposado. Both of these styles are the most popular for refreshing tequila cocktails like the margarita (and the many delicious margarita variations). Leave it…
Summer is the perfect time for a classic American road trip. And while some may center their trips on the myriad amusement parks, beach towns, or roadside monuments that dot the United States, for beer lovers, a road trip is the perfect opportunity to try beers from breweries they'd never…
If you’re a fan of fresh, citrus-filled cocktails during the summer months (or any time of year), there’s a decent chance you enjoy your fair share of gin and tonics. This simple drink of gin, tonic, and (usually) a squeeze of lime or a lime wedge is the epitome of…
The 1980s was an interesting time to be alive. The fashion was filled with pastels and neon, the hairstyles were wild (and often untamed), and a lot was going on in the world. It was also a great decade for movies. When it comes to great action, thrillers, dramas, and…
Rum is always in season. White rum (and cocktails like the classic daiquiri) is perfect for warm weather. Spiced rum is great for adding an extra kick to your Cuba libre or other go-to mixed drinks. Dark rum (regardless of its age) is a great pick all year long. That’s…
When it comes to summery, refreshing cocktails it’s pretty difficult to beat the appeal of a well-made Margarita. And no, not the frozen, overly sweet, heavily boozy version you find at chain restaurants. A great Margarita is simple, lightly tart, gently sweet, and features a great tequila for its base.…
Blended Scotch whisky doesn’t always get the respect it deserves. If blended Scotch whisky was a comedian, it would definitely be Rodney Dangerfield. Much of the reason why is because blends are often overshadowed by single malt Scotch. Whereas single malts get the press, acclaim from whisky geeks, and the…
As summer heads towards us like a man-eating shark skimming through the water around Amity Island, you’re probably starting to notice the warm, sunny, cloudless days that are beginning to pop up at least a few days out of every week. While it’s not the best time to start (that’s…
Whether or not you want to admit it, there’s a part of many us that wants to take a peek at the darker side of life. We want to peel back the curtain and peer into the dark abyss of the human mind. It’s that little bit of our brain…
The weather is getting warmer, and the days are getting longer. It feels like the time for whiskey is over until at least the late fall. But that idea couldn’t be more wrong. The warmer months are prime time for lighter, sippable whiskeys, especially single malt Scotch whisky. Whether you…
Depending on where you live in the Northern Hemisphere, in between the cold and rainy days, you’re probably enjoying a few sunny, unseasonably warm days. That's really all it takes to get the summer vibes started, which means it's time to watch a classic summer movie (or 10). And there’s…
Gin is fairly unique in the alcohol world. It’s the kind of spirit that you either love or hate. Gin fans will point out that well-made gins are filled with nuanced herbal and botanical flavors that lend themselves to various spring and summer cocktails just as much as sipping neat…
