Do this booze blogger a solid and vote here, please! Since moving to Los Angeles from New York City, my relationship to the seasons has become…complicated. I still crave all of the things you would during the colder months – cozy fires inside, hot cider, crunchy leaves underfoot. But because this place is so head […]
It’s hot, guys. Real hot. Like crank up the AC and lie nekkid on top of the covers directly under the ceiling fan until that fiery orb in the sky chills the F out, kind of hot. But that’s summer! What are you gonna do? Drink. All. The. Frozen. Things. For starters…. All I’ve been […]

After some slight adjustments, these stunning muddlers are up on their site and ready to muddle all of your cocktails […]
Cinco de Mayo is less than a week away. Are you ready to worship at the alter of Tequila and all things ending with ‘rita or ‘mole or…’aco? I mean, this is what the Mexicans fought for, right?? According to just about every food and drink publication as of late, you’re either in the Margarita […]
Woops! Watch your step there, lady! And don’t go blaming falling ass first into a human-sized coupe glass on your broken ankle strap. That glass seems plenty large enough to avoid. And, all those rando bottles around you? We can see those, booze goggles! Get it together, girl! Like Saint Patrick’s Day in the states, Cinco de […]
This amazingly refreshing tequila cocktail is another one of my all time favorites and so it was, of COURSE going to be included in last Friday’s launch menu.
