RTIC’s Pink Happy Hour Tumblers Are on Sale for a Steal—And I Tried Them
As an OG blogger and food/drink journalist, I’ve seen my fair share of drink tumblers. And I have to say that I haven’t really treated them with respect. They usually get tossed deep inside a kitchen cabinet or at the bottom of a crate filled with other forgotten gadgets. But I recently came across a set of new tumblers that have absolutely won me over. That beautifully boozy pair of products is RTIC’s Happy Hour Wine Tumbler and Happy Hour Lowball Tumbler in the color Rosewater (a soft pink hue).
Valentine’s Day Cocktails for Every Kind of Love (Yes, Even Self-Love)
Roses are red, violets are blue, here are a few cocktails you should sip with your boo. Or without! Honestly, I've come to love Valentine's Day. And it has absolutely nothing to do with having, or not having, a significant other.
I love seeing people celebrate all kinds of love this time of year, whether they’re showing appreciation for themselves, family, friends, romantic partners or even that random Tinder fling. For me, part of the fun is having an excuse to get dressed up, even if it just means hitting up my fave Mexican restaurant for frozen margs and queso dip.

I Tried Elijah Craig’s Sold Out Bourbon-Inspired Cologne—And I Have Thoughts
In addition to being a lover of cocktails, I’m also a huge fragrance fan. So when I received a note about the return of Elijah Craig Char No. 3 Cologne, the fragrance that sold out in December, I knew I had to get a whiff. And that I did.
First released late last year, Elijah Craig Char No. 3 Cologne is described as capturing “the warm, smoky, and sophisticated essence of the charred oak barrels that shape Elijah Craig's signature depth.” While you can expect layers of charred wood, spice and subtle sweetness, the specific fragrance notes include birchwood, cocoa, juniper berry, lavandin, nutmeg, oak barrel, orange blossom, pineapple and tonka bean.
Absolut Just Released a New Tabasco-Flavored Vodka—Here Are the Fiery Cocktails Worth Making
Anytime I get a spicy spirit, I’m immediately stumped when it comes to what cocktails I should make. Of course there’s the Bloody Mary, but that’s pretty much where the options come to an end for me. And with Absolut Tabasco serving as the newest fiery liquor to hit the market, I’ve once again been reminded of this cocktail conundrum.
In case you’re wondering how such a spicy offering came to be, Absolut Tabasco was crafted by fusing Absolut vodka with a unique and completely natural essence created from the fermented, aged red pepper mash used to make Tabasco hot sauce. With each sip, you’ll be met with the distinctive heat and aroma of Tabasco.
