Applebee’s Is Serving Don Julio Margaritas in Tiny Pool Cups You Can Take Home
Pool season is getting started a little early thanks to a new collection of cocktails from Applebee’s. The restaurant has teamed up with Don Julio for a pair of new margaritas that taste like vacation in a glass.
Applebee’s “Poolio with Don Julio” sips include the Sunny Sipper Margarita and Belly Floppin’ Melon Margarita. And get this, each drink is served in a fun, pool-shaped souvenir cup that you get to take home.
Junior’s Cheesecake and a Beloved Brooklyn Brewery Just Dropped Four Dessert Beers (The Key Lime Flavor Sounds Unreal)
Back in my Brooklyn days, Junior’s Cheesecake was my absolute go-to for a sweet treat. That sweet treat usually came in the form of an Apple Crumb Cheesecake or a Red Velvet Cheesecake. Never in those days could I have imagined that I’d be able to enjoy a sweet treat in booze form.
Well, thanks to a collab between Junior’s and Brooklyn cult classic Other Half Brewing, we’re getting just that. The two have joined forces to release four “soon-to-be-famous new beers” that all feature a dessert component.
People Are Using This Stanley Tumbler for Cocktails—And It’s Kind of Genius
I’m already working with a pretty healthy Stanley collection over here, but I’m on the verge of letting Amazon influence me into buying yet another one. The product that’s currently chilling in my Amazon cart is the Stanley All Day Slim Bottle 20 oz. What really has me sold is that I’ve just discovered that people are using the bottle to store cocktails (and wine!!!).
“Great to go bottle for cocktails when camping. Doesn’t leak,” one reviewer shared on Amazon.

Prepare to feel like you’ve checked into a five-star Bahamian resort, because the newest addition to the Cutwater lineup is Banana Mudslide.

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

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.
