The Leverage Bottle Opener: Your New Favorite Bottle Opener

Everyone’s got at least one bottle opener at home, but does everyone have a bottle opener that’s as sleek and gorgeous as the new Leverage Bottle Opener? Answer: No, but you can soon.

Created by Brooklyn-based Wander Workshop, the Leverage Bottle Opener is a reinterpretation of the classic, ubiquitous wall-mounted bottle openers . The company launched (and subsequently successfully funded) their Kickstarter in February 2017.

Proudly made in the USA, the openers are cast in solid brass and sealed to protect the finish and minimize discoloration. You can choose from two different finishes—satin brass or blackened brass. With each opener, you also get drywall plugs and brass mounting screws, so you don’t have to worry about not having the right gear.

What really gets us about these bottle openers is the design. The lines are clean and there is little to no wasted space in the geometric design. They are almost art deco in styling, and it’s easy to imagine Jay Gatsby (the Leo DiCaprio version) having one or four ready to go for his parties.

If you don’t have the space for a wall-mounted bottle opener, Leverage has also created a handheld version. Either way, the openers are designed not to bend the cap, so if you are a collector looking to finish your bar top/beer pong table, this is the opener for you.

You can pre-order your Leverage Bottle Opener here

The Leverage Key Hook will retail for $35, the Leverage Handheld Bottle Opener will be $50, and the wall-mounted opener will sell for $65. Orders are estimated to be shipped in June 2017. As an added bonus, for you philanthropists out there, a portion of all proceeds are donated to charity partners that fight hunger and provide clean drinking water.

Review: Will Juicy Marbles’ plant-based meat be your new favorite dinner option?
If you're into plant-based meats or just curious about the sector, Juicy Marbles needs to be on your radar
The whole cut loin from Juicy Marbles.

There's an outspoken new plant-based meat player in the game, and it's one worth noting. It's called Juicy Marbles, and it's responsible for some remarkable vegan meat. The company only has a couple of products to its name as of yet, but if the loin is any indicator, Juicy Marbles may be the best thing to happen to the increasingly cramped category since Beyond Meat.

What makes a superior plant-based meat? Consistency and flavor, preferably in a nutritious format. With the Juicy Marbles whole-cut loin, you get all of the above. Not bad for a startup out of Slovenia.

how to make persimmon pudding recipe

Persimmon pudding is one of those old-fashioned recipes found in the cookbooks our grandmothers used to pour over with a near-religious conviction. The pages in those cookbooks were worn and tattered, splattered with sauces and smears from decades of dishes made with love. One bite of this classic dessert, and you'll instantly be transported to simpler times. This dish just tastes like a down-home hug and it's one you're going to want in your repertoire.
While persimmon pudding eats like an English dessert with its sticky toffee pudding-like texture, its origins are strictly American. Delicately moist, fruity persimmons give this dessert its uniquely sweet flavor, accented with the warm spice of cinnamon.

In the family of sour cocktails, the Amaretto is a lesser-known but incredibly tasty option. It remains a classic across the American bar map, an offshoot of more famous formative drinks.

Most of us know about the Whiskey Sour or the Pisco Sour. But what of the Amaretto Sour? As the name stipulates, it's based around the highly unique Italian liqueur, born in Saronno. Made from bitter almonds, apricot kernels, and more, amaretto is a nutty elixir, perfect for cocktails as well as an accompaniment to a good cup of coffee.
