Sip Like a Buckle Bunny: Crown Royal Cocktails Inspired by Tanner Adell’s “Giddy Up, Gorgeous Tour”
I recently had the chance to attend Tanner Adell’s “Giddy Up, Gorgeous Tour” thanks to Crown Royal. I was only familiar with a few of Tanner’s songs, but she really turned me into a fan after seeing her perform live here in Atlanta. She has a solid stage presence and the mic was definitely ON. You can also tell that she takes her artistry seriously. Unfortunately, the tour comes to an end today, so be sure to grab a ticket for tonight’s show if you’re in Nashville!
If you aren’t able to check out the concert, you can still sip like a Buckle Bunny with these Crown Royal cocktails that were created just for the “Giddy Up, Gorgeous Tour.” I only had the chance to try the Royal Giddy Up Gorgeous, but they all sound like excellent cocktails to toast to the end of summer with, especially during the upcoming Labor Day holiday.
Crown Royal Just Dropped a Chocolate Flavored Whisky That Screams Fall
Don’t you just love the flavors of fall? We’re talking pumpkin spice, cinnamon, caramel—and yes, chocolate. So as a lover of all things fall, imagine my delight when I discovered that Crown Royal just announced that it’s releasing a new Chocolate Flavor Whisky. Boozy hot chocolate, anyone?? The decadent new flavor is described as flaunting aromas of vanilla, creamy chocolate and oak, as well as delicate hints of caramel and toffee.
The limited-edition Crown Royal Chocolate Flavored Whisky is set to take classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned and Espresso Martini to the next level. And apparently, the whisky is so versatile that it also pairs well with grapefruit juice, cola and lemonade. I’m a little skeptical about the combination of grapefruit and chocolate, but hey, I’ll try anything at least once.
I Tried Every Bar on Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas—These Were the Best
My cruise ship journey has really gone into overdrive because who knew that just a handful of years after taking my first cruise, my second cruise would be on the world’s biggest cruise ship? Well, believe it because earlier this month, I had the chance to attend a four-day/three-night preview cruise for Royal Caribbean’s new Star of the Seas.
Star of the Seas is being touted as “The World’s Best Family Vacation,” but don’t let that fool you. There’s still plenty of fun to be had for us grown folks, including a beach club-inspired pool just for adults (more on that later!). Now, I wouldn’t be LUSHWORTHY if I didn’t try (mostly) all of the boozy offerings available on Star. Well, grab your coupe glass and your favorite mezcal because we’re about to dive right into my favorite bars/lounges on Star of the Seas.
Toast To Paradise With These ‘The White Lotus’ Inspired Cocktails
I don’t know about you all, but I’m sooo excited to take a trip to the beautiful beaches of Thailand as part of season three of The White Lotus. I traveled to Phuket years ago and absolutely loved it. And now, Koh Samui, where The White Lotus was filmed, is absolutely on my list. But in the meantime, I’ll be cozied up to my TV this Sunday eagerly waiting for the season premiere of the dark comedy.
And since a White Lotus-inspired cocktail is a must for the big night, Ketel One Vodka and Tanqueray Gin have teamed up with Max and HBO to create a pair of speciality cocktails, along with limited-edition cocktail kits.

Cutwater Just Released A Strawberry White Russian That’s Perfect For Valentine’s Day
One thing about me, I LOVE a good canned cocktail. I have my faves and Cutwater’s White Russian is definitely a Top 5 contender for me. So imagine how elated I was when I learned that the brand is releasing a new Strawberry White Russian flavor. And the timing couldn’t be better given that Valentine’s Day is in a couple of weeks.
Like the classic White Russian, the Strawberry White Russian (13% ABV) is made with Cutwater Vodka and coffee cream liqueur, but it also features the flavor of sweet strawberries. The flavor was first released in April of last year, but was only available for dine-in at Cutwater’s San Diego, California Tasting Room. Despite being a limited release, it was met with rave reviews from fans.
Hidden Gem: The Surprising Downtown Atlanta Spot With The Best Happy Hour
It’s a big weekend here in Atlanta. The College Football National Championship takes place on Monday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, so downtown Atlanta has been buzzing. I of course wanted to get in on the action so I ventured downtown yesterday and I’m glad I did because I came across quite the rarity: a weekend Happy Hour.
While trying to find a bite to eat, I stumbled upon SKOL Brewing Company, a newly-opened restaurant located inside the 200 Peachtree Street Building (be sure to enter on Carnegie Way). Described as a “high-end, food-forward brewpub,” SKOL serves up an assortment of craft beers, cocktails, and bar bites.
Cardi B’s Whip Shots Keeps The Good Times Rolling With New King Cake Flavor
The Whip Shots lineup is continuing to greaux (see what I did there?) with the release of the boozy whipped cream’s newest flavor: King Cake. First announced on Instagram, the King Cake flavor is described as what you would get if “a cinnamon roll, a Mardi Gras parade, and vodka had a baby.” You can buy King Cake Whip Shots beginning today, but there is one teeny tiny catch. It’s only available for purchase to those in select markets.
The New Orleans Bars Serving Up The Best Cocktails During Super Bowl (And Beyond)
If you’re heading to the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans, first off, I’m jealous (but also happy for you!). And second, be prepared to eat and drink like a king. It’s no secret that the city of New Orleans is world renown for its cocktails and cuisine. But I’ll be the first to tell you that if you’re not good with too many options, you’ll quickly be overwhelmed. Don’t worry though because I’ve got you on cocktails! (And if you need any food recs, just hit me on The ‘Gram).
