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.
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.

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.

Lucky for us, as we count down the days until Super Bowl, Tequila CAZADORES has crafted a handful of Bad Bunny-inspired cocktails perfect for your watch party.

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
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).

I love that we get to start each month with a new Margarita of the Month from Chili’s.

I Found the Ultimate Valentine’s Day Gift for Espresso Martini Lovers—And It’s Pink!
I love a box of chocolates and red roses just as much as the next girl, but do you know what I’d really like this Valentine’s Day? An espresso machine that sends my next batch of Espresso Martinis into the stratosphere. I mean, I’d also like a simple $1,000 and a Gel-X nail appointment, but that’s beside the point.
As a self-proclaimed Espresso Martini connoisseur, I know all too well that the best martinis are made with actual espresso, not instant coffee or cold brew. And if you’re looking for a solid espresso machine for your Valentine, look no further than the De’Longhi Dedica Duo Espresso Machine.
