The Cocktail Collection Drops A Zesty New Lemon Martini—And A Holiday Tablescape To Match
As much as I love channeling my creativity into mixing up delicious cocktails, it can be tiring. That’s why a bottle of sparkling wine or a ready-to-serve cocktail have always been my best friends. They’re no-fuss, and if you choose wisely, they’re also delicious. And just in time for the hectic holiday season, The Cocktail Collection has unveiled its newest ready-to-serve cocktail, the Ketel One Lemon Drop Martini. The martini is crafted with Ketel One Vodka, real lemon juice and sweetener to create “the perfect balance of tart and smooth.”
The Only Cream Liqueur Worth Pouring This Holiday Season—And It Tastes Just Like Crème Brûlée
I’m a cream liqueur girly. I recall very early on seeing my mom and aunts sipping on their Baileys over ice. Something about them daintily swirling their ice cubes around seemed so sophisticated. And once I was finally old enough to try Baileys for myself, I was immediately hooked. It was like dessert in a glass, but it still had some serious bite to it. So I’ve always gone out of my way to try new cream liqueurs. Just a few months ago, I purchased a limoncello cream liqueur while at the airport in Milan, Italy. It was so good we demolished it in less than an hour. Seriously.
Ole Smoky’s New Moonshine Advent Calendar Is The Only Thing On My Holiday Wish List
Holiday advent calendars have exploded over the past few years. From makeup to wine, you’d be hard-pressed to find a product that doesn’t have its own advent calendar. And now, Ole Smoky is joining in on the holiday fun. The moonshine and flavored whiskey brand has just announced its 12 Days of Moonshine Minis Holiday Pack. The advent-style calendar, which is packaged as a festive holiday-themed box, features windows that can be opened to explore and discover new flavors from Ole Smoky.
I love a good surprise, so I won’t give too much away, but among the flavors you’ll find in the advent calendar are Strawberry and Apple Pie (and there may or may not also be some cream moonshine offerings).
Uncle Nearest & SusieCakes Are Releasing The Sweetest Black History Month Collab
Black History Month just got a lot sweeter thanks to a brand-new collaboration between Uncle Nearest and SusieCakes bakery. To celebrate Black History Month, the two brands intend to satisfy sweet tooths across the country while doing so for a great cause.
From February 1st though February 8th, SusieCakes will feature an Uncle Nearest 1884 Vanilla Cupcake that’s topped with Blonde Whiskey Buttercream. The decadent offering also honors the legacy of Nathan “Nearest” Green, the first known Black master distiller.
With Uncle Nearest 1884 boasting notes of maple syrup, dark chocolate, honey, and warm brown sugar, I’m drooling at the idea of all these flavors in cupcake-form. Also, SusieCakes does NOT miss (their buttercream is the stuff of dreams).
Stella Rosa Just Launched Its First Ever Cream Liqueur And It Tastes Just Like Chocolate & Hazelnuts
Is love in the air or did Stella Rosa just release a romantic new flavor that’s perfect for the holiday season anddd Valentine’s Day? If you guessed the latter then you’d be 100% correct. This week, to the delight of many, Stella Rosa announced its latest indulgent offering: Chocolate Hazelnut Cream Liqueur.
Described as “dessert in a bottle,” Stella Rosa’s Chocolate Hazelnut Cream Liqueur is made with real hazelnuts from Piedmont in Northwest Italy (a region known for hazelnut production). 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!
The Insanely Boozy Offerings Available In This Year’s $1 Million Golden Globes Gift Bag
Let me go ahead and call up an acting coach because the Golden Globe’s just unveiled their gift bags for next year’s ceremony, and they just keep getting bigger and more bougie. Given that the gift bag is valued at an astonishing $1 million, you know it’s packed with some major goodies. There’s everything from six-figure vacations to a rare bottle of Komos XO Tequila. Unfortunately for us regular folks, the coveted swag bag is solely available to winners and presenters of the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards. Maybe we can all enlist in those acting classes together? Hello, group discount!
I was excited to see that there’s no shortage of boozy offerings, including a selection of spirits from Casa Komos Brands Group, a brand that specializes in “crafting carefully-considered, unique products that embody a true sense of origin and respect for tradition.” There’s also a dreamy wine tasting and dinner experience in Bordeaux, France that’s valued at $272,000.
