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).
Chili’s February Margarita of the Month Is a Sweet, Citrusy Fan Favorite
After bringing back its Resolution Breaker Marg for the month of January, Chili’s is circling back to yet another fan-fave margarita for its February pick. Many of you are likely already familiar with the February Margarita of the Month, because it was also featured last year.
This February, Chili’s will once again be serving its StrawEddy Marg as its Margarita of the Month. The sweet-meets-tangy cocktail is made with Lunazul Blanco Tequila, Deep Eddy Lemon Vodka, strawberry purée and house-made sour. And yes, it’s still just $6.
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.
Malibu Pink Is the Boozy New Release Bringing Some Much Needed Sunshine to Our Glasses
Another day, another threat of bone-chilling temps and snow. Yes, even in the Southeast. While a warm weather vacay with a wonderful beachside cocktail sounds like the move, it’s not in the cards for most of us at the moment. But, there is a way to get those beachy vibes without having to scour Google Flights for an $85 roundtrip ticket to St. Croix.
Malibu has just announced its newest release, and it absolutely sounds like the tropics in a glass. That beachy new addition is Malibu Pink. Now available nationwide, Malibu Pink is described as featuring “guava at its heart, complemented by pineapple and Malibu’s signature coconut for a tropical taste.”
I Tried Cutwater’s New Chocolate Espresso Martini—And This One Hack Is Essential
Not to sound dramatic, but I really had no idea that Cutwater’s new Chocolate Espresso Martini would become my second favorite flavor from the brand. I truly didn’t. I’ve had their regular Espresso Martini flavor on several occasions and I don’t remember being that impressed. The Chocolate Espresso Martini on the other hand? Sheesh!
I’m not a big chocolate fan, and I just knew that the chocolate flavor in Cutwater’s new addition was gonna hit harder than a fun-size pack of Hershey’s bars during an after-Halloween sale. It didn’t. Remarkably, the chocolate was subtle.
The Cosmopolitan Cocktail Will Not Survive 2026, According to New Study
I just found out that—according to social media—2026 is all about whimsy. I love that for us. But in the same week, I also learned the Cosmopolitan (my 12th favorite cocktail) might not make it past 2026?! What’s really going on? I can’t be whimsical without a fluorescent pink Cosmo in hand.
Unfortunately, according to a new study from Tastewise, it’s not looking too good for the Cosmopolitan. Tastewise, an AI-powered data platform that analyzes real-time consumer insights, took a look at billions of data points across social media conversations and restaurant menus to uncover the food and beverage trends that are spiraling
Grey Goose’s New Berry Rouge Vodka Uses Four Different Fruits—And It’s Perfect for Spring Cocktails
I don’t know about you all, but I’m very much ready for warmer weather and spring cocktails. So long boozy hot chocolates, Pumpkin-Caramel Espresso Martinis, and Apple Pie Old Fashioneds. Hello, Strawberry Margs and Berry Spritzes. And to get us ready for spring-inspired cocktails, Grey Goose has launched a new flavor that’s packed with inviting berry flavor. That new addition to the vodka brand’s lineup is Grey Goose Berry Rouge.
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).
Cutwater Just Dropped a New Canned Cocktail—and Fans Are Already Buzzing
For my Cutwater fans who have been patiently waiting for the beloved canned cocktail brand to drop a new flavor, your time has finally come. Cutwater has just announced that its newest flavor is none other than Chocolate Espresso Martini. With this latest sip, you can expect decadent notes of rich cocoa, roasted espresso and velvety cream.
“Crafted with Cutwater’s award-winning vodka and coffee cream liqueur, the Chocolate Espresso Martini is the perfect harmony between notes of rich cocoa, roasted espresso, and velvety cream. It is both decadent and smooth, designed to elevate any Valentine's Day or Galentine’s Day celebration,” read a press release from Cutwater.
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.
