Grey Goose’s Lemon Ace Is the Effortlessly Chic Sip We’ll Be Sipping During the Australian Open
What I wouldn't give to be packing my outfits for the Australian Open taking place in Melbourne next month. Thankfully though, if you're like me there is a way for us all to get in on the Aussie action without searching for our passports. And no, it doesn't involve breaking out your old tennis racket and that tennis skirt you bought on Amazon last spring.
As we countdown the days until the start of the Australian Open, which will take place from January 12 - February 1, Grey Goose has created a tennis-inspired cocktail that’s described as being “perfect for both armchair travelers and courtside dreamers.”
The Ninja BlendBOSS Is the Cutest Cocktail Gadget You’ll Actually Use
I’m pretty familiar with the Ninja lineup of kitchen appliances—my Nutri-Blender gets used nearly everyday and the Ninja SLUSHi has been on my wishlist for quite some time now. So I was pleasantly surprised when I came across the Ninja BlendBOSS on my social media feed recently. What caught my attention first was the look of the blender. While sleek, Ninja products tend to be pretty uniform in color—all black, with silver scattered throughout. The Ninja BlendBOSS ($129.99) on the other hand features a whirlwind of vibrant colors: summer green, lilac, ocean blue.
I Tried All the Cocktails at Omni’s Blitzen’s Bar—Here’s What’s Worth Ordering
‘Twas the weekend before Christmas, and suddenly everyone—and their entire group chat—wanted in on a holiday pop-up bar. These festive pop-ups, which have flooded nearly every major city, are sure to be loaded with customers this weekend and next week. And if you’re still plotting on what holiday bar you plan on visiting with your squad, I’ve got all the boozy details about a pop-up that’s available in multiple cities across the country.
Returning this year is Omni Hotel’s Blitzen’s Bar, and the pop-up is available in additional cities this year, including my home base of Atlanta, Georgia.
This NYC Rooftop Bar Serves Cozy Vibes And Great Cocktails—Plus It’s Open Year-Round
Who doesn’t love a cozy rooftop cocktail bar? There’s something so chic about sipping on an Aperol Spritz while perched a good 10 stories above the ground. No shade to second floor rooftop bars though! But there is a bit of opulence that comes with elevation. So I was super pleased to discover that a hotel I recently stayed at in New York City had its own rooftop bar. And it was enclosed, so you can enjoy it year-round.
High above Midtown Manhattan’s Kimpton Theta Hotel is Bar Sprezzatura, a rooftop destination that describes itself as a “rooftop bar with Italian Riviera charm.” The space is in fact super charming. There’s plenty of standard table seating, but there are also lots of plush couches and armchairs to lounge on.
15 Holiday Cocktails That Go Way Harder Than Your Elf On The Shelf
Holiday cocktails are by far my favorite genre of seasonal sips. As much as I love a ghoulish martini on Halloween or a romantic dessert cocktail on Valentine’s Day, holiday drinks are where it’s at. And by “holiday,” I pretty much mean all the weeks in between November 1 and about mid-January. So she is a lengthy season to say the last.
With many holiday parties only days away, I’ve already had friends hit me up about cocktail recommendations. The great thing about this time of year is that the options really are endless. You can go full-on fruity with a boozy punch, get decadent with a dessert inspired-sip or keep it classy with a festive twist on a classic cocktail.
Your Favorite Chili's Margarita Is Back for December (And We’ve Got Their Holiday Hours)
Last month, Chili’s had both margarita lovers and Wicked fans buzzing. The popular restaurant revealed that it would be rolling out two film-inspired cocktails: The Witches Brew Marg and The Good Witch Marg. And they want to keep that boozy momentum going with the return of a fan-favorite margarita for the month of December. To ensure that the holiday season remains as festive as possible, Chili’s is bringing back the $6 Merry Maker Marg.
This NYC Bar Serves A $21 Incredible Hulk Cocktail—And Yes, I Tried It
Elderly millennials, gather round and bring your Motorola RAZRs with you! I come bearing exciting news! Whether you’ve had the pleasure of trying an Incredible Hulk for yourself or heard about the cocktail via a rap song, chances are you’re familiar with the infamous drink. A true early 2000s gem, the Incredible Hulk got its distinct name because when you combine the two primary spirits, Hpnotiq and Hennessy, it turns green in color.
So get this, earlier this month I had an Incredible Hulk while visiting New York City and it was…wait for it…actually really good! It was one of the drinks served at Lower East Side cocktail bar, Lullaby.

Mine is absolutely boozy eggnog (with dark rum please!). So when I had the chance to chat it up with Southern Charm alum Austen Kroll at Raising Cane’s Holiday Bike Giveaway in Times Square, I knew I had to ask about his favorites.

And I have to say that his favorite seasonal sips are pretty solid. Check ‘em out below and be sure to chime in with your own faves!

The Coziest Boozy Hot Chocolate Ever—And The Ingredient You’d Never Expect
Who doesn’t love a boozy hot chocolate? Whether you’re camping with friends or “roughing it” in the backyard with a good book and your favorite blanket, it’s the perfect treat to cozy up to. What I love about boozy hot chocolate is that there are so many different ways to customize the drink depending on what you like. Want a hot chocolate that’s more decadent? You can opt for a cream liqueur. Want to up the booze factor? Simply swap liqueurs for a dark rum of whiskey.
