Stella Rosa Just Launched Its First Ever Cream Liqueur And It Tastes Just Like Chocolate & Hazelnuts
Is love in the air or did Stella Rosa just release a romantic new flavor that’s perfect for the holiday season anddd Valentine’s Day? If you guessed the latter then you’d be 100% correct. This week, to the delight of many, Stella Rosa announced its latest indulgent offering: Chocolate Hazelnut Cream Liqueur.
Described as “dessert in a bottle,” Stella Rosa’s Chocolate Hazelnut Cream Liqueur is made with real hazelnuts from Piedmont in Northwest Italy (a region known for hazelnut production). Quite the versatile sip, the liqueur is best enjoyed chilled, on the rocks, or in your coffee or cocktail. It comes in a striking gold bottle made of glass, so if you’re looking for a last minute holiday gift option that’ll impress, there you have it!
This Atlanta Neighborhood Is Home To Some Of The Best Happy Hour Deals
As if finding a budget-friendly Happy Hour in Atlanta wasn’t already tough, once you factor in traffic, lack of parking, and those dreaded grass walls, it really becomes a chore. Well, my friend, I suggest that you venture just a teeny bit outside of the city to Avondale. This up-and-coming neighborhood is home to luxe apartment buildings, quirky thrift shops, and plenty of places to get your drink on. And are you ready for the best part? In addition to stellar drink specials, Avondale is also an open container area (here’s a map).
Have I got your attention yet? If so, here are my picks on where you can find the best drink specials in Avondale.
Anansi
Since arriving in Avondale a couple of years ago, Anansi has become quite the force. Just ask, TikTok. Although quaint, this cocktail lounge is packed with charm. Aesthetics are on point, the playlist is just right, and the cocktails are perfectly concocted. And thanks to their newly-launched Social Hour, you can save big on a variety of classic cocktails, including the French 75 (my go-to!), Old Fashioned, Sidecar, and Daiquiri. Social Hour takes place Monday through Friday, from 6 P.M. to 8 P.M., and during that time you can get the cocktails mentioned and more for $9.
The Insanely Boozy Offerings Available In This Year’s $1 Million Golden Globes Gift Bag
Let me go ahead and call up an acting coach because the Golden Globe’s just unveiled their gift bags for next year’s ceremony, and they just keep getting bigger and more bougie. Given that the gift bag is valued at an astonishing $1 million, you know it’s packed with some major goodies. There’s everything from six-figure vacations to a rare bottle of Komos XO Tequila. Unfortunately for us regular folks, the coveted swag bag is solely available to winners and presenters of the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards. Maybe we can all enlist in those acting classes together? Hello, group discount!
I was excited to see that there’s no shortage of boozy offerings, including a selection of spirits from Casa Komos Brands Group, a brand that specializes in “crafting carefully-considered, unique products that embody a true sense of origin and respect for tradition.” There’s also a dreamy wine tasting and dinner experience in Bordeaux, France that’s valued at $272,000.
I Tried Nearly Everything At Lisa Vanderpump’s Newest Restaurant, Pinky’s—Here’s What You HAVE To Order
The Lisa Vanderpump universe is continuing to expand—and no, I’m not talking about the new Vanderpump Rules cast. Although Lisa is hard at work fostering her reality TV empire, she recently opened Pinky’s, her third restaurant on the Las Vegas strip. Located in the Flamingo hotel, Pinky’s is grand in size and heavy on the whimsy. Pale pinks and lavish greens adorn the restaurant while extravagant light fixtures help set the seductive tone. It really is a breathtaking space.
I recently had the opportunity to sip and nosh my way through a number of the items on the Pinky’s menu, and I couldn’t help but share my favorites!
Red Lobster’s New Happy Hour Will Include $5 Drinks & Discounted Appetizers
Happy Hour is coming to Red Lobster, and as a Cheddar Bay Biscuit aficionado I couldn’t be more thrilled. The once-floundering seafood restaurant has started implementing some major changes since a new CEO stepped in and I think this new Happy Hour could really bring back customers who’ve shifted away from the restaurant in recent years.
The Happy Hour menu starts today and is available Monday through Friday from 3 P.M. to 6 P.M. at participating restaurants. On the menu, you’ll find boozy faves like the Top-Shelf Long Island Iced Tea and Tito’s Twisted Strawberry Lemonade. And they’re available for just $5! For far too long, I’ve gone to Happy Hours that aren’t that too happy on the pockets, so I’m absolutely loving the $5 price point.
A Wine Spa Is Finally Coming To The U.S.–Here’s How To Book Your Visit
The first ever wine spa in the U.S. has officially opened its doors. Located in Portland, Oregon, The Wine Spa offers a variety of vinotherapy packages for those looking to wine and unwind.
You may be wondering what exactly vinotherapy is. According to a press release from The Wine Spa, vinotherapy is the therapeutic use of grape-based products that offer a range of benefits for both the mind and body. And you probably already know that the antioxidants found in wine can help improve skin health, reduce stress, and boost circulation.
Enjoying The Perfect Day In Malibu With Summer Somewhere Wines
Don’t you just love a good wine tasting? I had the privilege of taking part in what is now one of my favorite wine tastings during a recent trip to Malibu, California. My boozy experience took place at the tasting room for Summer Somewhere Wines, a family run wine company that prides itself on celebrating life’s moments.
While visiting their Malibu tasting room, I was presented with a menu that included four different tasting options: Surfrider Tasting ($34), Zuma Tasting ($38), Malibu Colony Tasting ($42), and Dimension Tasting ($80). I wasn’t really in the mood for any reds that day.
The Best Happy Hour In New Orleans Isn’t In The French Quarter
The French Quarter smells like a**. There I said it! I’m sorry. I love New Orleans, but the French Quarter just isn’t my jam. Also, you can expect to pay an arm and a leg for a cocktail you’re probably not gonna love. For this very reason, a lot of people who visit New Orleans find themselves on Frenchmen Street. A short ride from the French Quarter, Frenchmen Street is home to live music, art markets, and craft cocktails. As lovely as it is, Frenchmen Street is not where I found my new favorite Happy Hour in Nola. That honor goes to The Rum House, a Caribbean Taqueria located on Magazine Street.
Sabrina Carpenter Partners With Absolut & Kahlúa On Adorable Espresso Martini Kit
I’m working late ‘cause I’m a writer.💃 Sorry y’all, but I’ve been dying to get that one out of my system. Now that that’s out the way, I’m super excited to share that Sabrina Carpenter has partnered with two iconic brands to release a product I’ve been eagerly waiting for: an Espresso Martini kit!
“An Afternoon At Kilwins” Is The Dessert Cocktail We All Need
It was at Kilwins, a candy and ice cream shop here in Atlanta, where I first discovered my love for the combination of chocolate and orange. Although the shop is known for its massive candy apples coated in caramel, chocolate, marshmallows, sprinkles, and other candies, I gravitated towards a much tamer option: the chocolate covered orange peels. It was a surprising pull because my sweet tooth usually leans towards the absolutely decadent.
