I Tried Red Lobster’s New Cocktails—and Was Not Prepared for the Free Lobster Drink Shaker
Apparently, Red Lobster has been dropping new cocktails like it’s nobody’s business. I recently went there to try their newest cocktails, but was met with a menu filled with enticingly unfamiliar drinks like the Old Salt's Smoked Old Fashioned and Guava Chili Margarita. As tempting as those new additions were, I was there to try the sips featured during Lobsterfest. In total, there were three new drinks: The Lobstar, Shoreline Spritz and Dockside Sipper. I absolutely tried all of them and one drink reigned supreme (and it’s not even because of the freebie it came with).

With this latest sip, you can expect decadent notes of rich cocoa, roasted espresso and velvety cream.

Chili’s Insider Reveals Everything We Can Expect From This Year’s Margaritas of the Month
I love that we get to start each month with a new Margarita of the Month from Chili’s. Rent might be due, but at least you’ll soon be sipping on something deliciously boozy (likely paired with an order of Southwestern Egg Rolls). We’re already starting the new year strong with the return of the fan-favorite Resolution Breaker Marg. But since we still have 11 months of libations to go, I had to get some intel on what we can expect from Chili’s in 2026.
Applebee’s Brings Back Its $6 Mucho Smoocho Sips—With a New Valentine’s Flavor
Applebee’s is really trying to throw a wrench in my Dry January plans, because the restaurant has just announced that it’s bringing back its fan-favorite $6 Mucho Smoocho Sips. They’ve even thrown in a new Valentine’s Day-inspired Mucho Smoocho Sip. Available starting today is the oldie, but goodie Tipsy Cupid and the all-new Prickly Ever After Rita.
I Found the Ultimate Valentine’s Day Gift for Espresso Martini Lovers—And It’s Pink!
I love a box of chocolates and red roses just as much as the next girl, but do you know what I’d really like this Valentine’s Day? An espresso machine that sends my next batch of Espresso Martinis into the stratosphere. I mean, I’d also like a simple $1,000 and a Gel-X nail appointment, but that’s beside the point.
As a self-proclaimed Espresso Martini connoisseur, I know all too well that the best martinis are made with actual espresso, not instant coffee or cold brew. And if you’re looking for a solid espresso machine for your Valentine, look no further than the De’Longhi Dedica Duo Espresso Machine.
The South Beach Wine & Food Festival Event You Have to Attend—With Plenty of Rum and a Fat Joe Performance
If you're attending the 2026 South Beach Wine & Food Festival, you might be feeling a little overwhelmed as you begin to plan your itinerary. In addition to the main event—the Grand Tasting—there are dozens of other happenings that promise plenty of food, LUSHWORTHY drinks and a fabulous time. I still consider myself a SOBEWFF newbie, but there is one event I attended last year that has me eager to make the trip down to Miami in February. That event is Chef JJ Johnson’s The Cookout.
Red Lobster Just Secretly Dropped a New Mocktail for Dry January—And It’s Summer in a Glass
It’s nice to see that restaurants are also getting in on Dry January this year. As people across the globe carefully jotted down their New Year’s resolutions, Red Lobster announced that it would be releasing a brand new mocktail exclusively for the month of January. Dubbed the Tropic Tease, Red Lobster’s newest sip might just leave you longing for warmer months ahead thanks to a combination of beachy flavors. And according to the beloved eatery, she’s “that girl.”
Flavorful Dry January Cocktails That Go Far Beyond a New Year's Resolution
From nostalgic drinks in a dim cocktail lounge in the Lower East Side to sipping my way through a medley of holiday cocktails, I had quite the LUSHWORTHY 2025. So, let’s just say that I’m welcoming Dry January with extremely open arms this month. In fact, I don’t plan on taking my next boozy sip until Super Bowl (February 8). I’d normally say wish me luck, but with non-alcoholic drinks these days that are as intricate as they are tasty, I don’t think I’ll need much luck this Dry January.
Chili’s Brings Back Its Fan-Favorite ‘Resolution Breaker’ $6 Marg for January
If you’ve already shelved those Dry January plans (at least you lasted a day!), then there’s a margarita at Chili’s with your name on it—And it’s just $6. To kick off 2026, the restaurant is bringing back its Resolution Breaker Marg for the month of January. The tangy sip is a boozy combination of Cuervo Tradicional Blanco Tequila, Monin Mango, pineapple juice, house-made sour and Sprite. I’ve never had it before, but it sounds like a fruity twist on the classic marg.
Grey Goose’s Lemon Ace Is the Effortlessly Chic Sip We’ll Be Sipping During the Australian Open
What I wouldn't give to be packing my outfits for the Australian Open taking place in Melbourne next month. Thankfully though, if you're like me there is a way for us all to get in on the Aussie action without searching for our passports. And no, it doesn't involve breaking out your old tennis racket and that tennis skirt you bought on Amazon last spring.
As we countdown the days until the start of the Australian Open, which will take place from January 12 - February 1, Grey Goose has created a tennis-inspired cocktail that’s described as being “perfect for both armchair travelers and courtside dreamers.”
