Cutwater’s New Banana Mudslide Flavor Is ‘Dangerously Delicious,’ According to Fans
Cutwater is really leaning into dessert-forward cocktails this year. Just a few months after their Chocolate Espresso Martini hit shelves, we’re getting yet another decadent flavor from the canned cocktail brand. Prepare to feel like you’ve checked into a five-star Bahamian resort, because the newest addition to the Cutwater lineup is Banana Mudslide.
Cutwater Banana Mudslide, which stands at 13% ABV, is made with vodka and coffee-cream liqueur with balanced notes of banana and chocolate.

Matthew McConaughey’s Mom Reveals Her Favorite Cocktail—Says Her Ex 'Had a Heart Attack Making Love to Me’
Did anyone else have any clue how beautifully unhinged Matthew McConaughey’s mom is? I had no idea. Lucky for us, as part of Pantalones Organic Tequila’s newly-released “Most Interesting Mom in the World” campaign, we get a hilariously candid introduction to Kay "MaMac" McConaughey.
In the pair of campaign videos from the Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves McConaughey-owned brand, the 94-year-old spilled the tea-quila on everything from her go-to cocktail to her epic final battle with “The Beast.” (Spoiler Alert: It’s one hell of a story.)
The Best Mini Coolers for Everything From Beach Days to Backyard Hangs
Mini coolers have come a long way over the past few years. For one, they’re no longer strictly styrofoam. And they’re also no longer found in the deep, dark corners of the dollar store. These days, brands like IGLOO and YETI are dropping mini coolers that are handbag chic, but are also major work horses.
What I love about a good mini cooler is that you can bring it just about anywhere. They’re perfect if you want to crack open a few cold ones in your backyard or if you need to pack away a few Cutwaters and a Pub Sub for your next beach trip. Personally, I’ve found that I use my collection of mini coolers the most for short trips and picnics in the park.
I Tried Chili’s New Popping Boba Marg—And It Delivers Way More Than Expected
Last week, Chili’s released one of its most unexpected Margarita of the Months yet: the Popping Boba Marg. The Margarita of the Month (MOTM) is typically released on the 1st of the month, but in honor of National Boba Day, it dropped a little early on April 30th. Now, I won’t say that I was at the door when Chili’s opened to get my hands on the new drink, but I was pretty darn close.
First off, and this might be a shocker to some, I’ve never actually had boba before. I’m very much familiar with what it is, but no, I’ve never had it
Fireball Just Released a $5 Teacher Apple That Secretly Holds Whiskey—Here’s How to Buy It
In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, which kicks off today and lasts until May 8, Fireball has just released its cheekiest product yet. This must-have item from the beloved whiskey brand is the Fireball Blazin’ Apple Flask. The Apple Flask is pretty convincing. It features a stem and there’s even a barcode sticker. But here’s where it gets fun…
If you twist open the stem of the apple it reveals a hidden 50mL shot of Fireball’s Blazin’ Apple flavor inside. This is obviously an elite level gifting option for the teacher in your life—whether they’re a friend of yours or your kid’s favorite calculus teacher.
Chili’s May Margarita of the Month Features a Surprising Twist: Boba
Chili’s, I’m not gonna lie to you. You had me a little nervous with this year’s Margaritas of the Month. I thought we were gonna be stuck with repeats of last year’s sips. But I was pleasantly surprised when it was revealed that the Margarita of the Month for April was the all-new (heavy on the “new”) Peachy Dream Marg. Well, the fun doesn’t stop there, folks. We’re getting another new Margarita of the Month in May, and it might just be the most innovative marg yet from the restaurant.
Next month, Chili’s fans will be able to try the new Popping Boba Marg. The unique sip is made with Lunazul Blanco Tequila, Deep Eddy Lemon Vodka, Monin Watermelon, house-made sour, and Dragonfruit Popping Boba.
My Favorite Bars in Playa del Carmen, Mexico (And One Unexpected Stop You’ll Love)
You know that one travel destination you swore you’d never visit again? Book it! In fact, do it right now! Book the flight. Book the hotel. And while you’re at it, go ahead and book the excursions too. But in all seriousness, I recently had a bit of a redemption trip and it’s changed my mind a bit on destinations I’ve had bad experiences in.
A few years ago, I took a trip to Mexico City and it was wonderful. Right after Mexico City, I flew to Cancun to catch an Ado bus over to Playa del Carmen for a little fun in the sun. Yeah, about that fun in the sun, it definitely didn’t happen.
On The Rocks Just Made Margarita Season Even Better With Two New Flavors
I’m soooo glad it’s margarita season! I’ll take every margarita flavor you’ve got—pineapple, watermelon, kiwi, passion fruit, all of it. To take full advantage of the season of juicy sips, On The Rocks has launched not one, but two fruit-forward margs: Passion Fruit Margarita and Sparkling Watermelon Margarita.
The On The Rocks Passion Fruit Margarita is a limited-edition ready-to-serve bottled cocktail while the On The Rocks Sparkling Watermelon Margarita is a permanent addition to the brand's portfolio of canned cocktails. While both sound delicious, the Sparkling Watermelon Marg is right up my lane. And might I add that it’s made with Hornitos Tequila and boasts a solid 10% ABV.
The Internet-Famous Parkside Flask Now Comes With Free Wine (Yes, Really)
The Parkside Flask is easily one of my favorite gadgets from the past year. And I finally got the chance to put it to use in the wild at a friend’s picnic in Piedmont Park earlier this month.
It worked like a charm. I filled the flask with a bottle of Pinot Grigio I purchased at Trader Joe’s prior to the picnic. There was no leaking whatsoever and it was such a convenient option. I personally hate having to lug around multiple cups and bottles, so the Parkside Flask was perfect. But enough about that, let’s get to the real tea, or more appropriately, the free wine.
