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).
Cold Weather Cocktails Guaranteed To Keep You Warm & Cozy This Season
If you’re ready to swap your Jalapeno Margarita for a Hot Toddy, now is the perfect time. As the weather changes, so does our palate. Gone is the desire for that fruity rum cocktail that transports you to the tropics. In its place is the longing for a toasty libation you can cozy up to your fireplace and a good book with.
I’ll be the first to admit that creating a hot cocktail can be a bit tricky if you’re new to it. Lucky for us, the folks at Dewar’s, Teeling, and Aviation Gin have whipped up some delectable cocktails you can easily recreate at home. What I love most about these winter-friendly cocktails is that they’re not made with a bunch of sugary mixers and other not-so-good-for-you additions. Instead, you’ll need ingredients like maple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and honey syrup.

Quite the versatile sip, the liqueur is best enjoyed chilled, on the rocks, or in your coffee or cocktail. It comes in a striking gold bottle made of glass, so if you’re looking for a last minute holiday gift option that’ll impress, there you have it!
I Tried Nearly Everything At Lisa Vanderpump’s Newest Restaurant, Pinky’s—Here’s What You HAVE To Order
The Lisa Vanderpump universe is continuing to expand—and no, I’m not talking about the new Vanderpump Rules cast. Although Lisa is hard at work fostering her reality TV empire, she recently opened Pinky’s, her third restaurant on the Las Vegas strip. Located in the Flamingo hotel, Pinky’s is grand in size and heavy on the whimsy. Pale pinks and lavish greens adorn the restaurant while extravagant light fixtures help set the seductive tone. It really is a breathtaking space.
I recently had the opportunity to sip and nosh my way through a number of the items on the Pinky’s menu, and I couldn’t help but share my favorites!
