GIVEAWAY: Corkcicle’s New Cigar Glass is Manly Multi-Tasking at Its Best

Corkcicle has a reputation for producing some of the best drinking paraphernalia available, like canteens, the chillsner (review here), and ice ball maker and whiskey wedge. Hell, even Oprah loves the brand —she proved it this year by deeming Corkcicle’s Stemless one one of her Favorite Things for 2017.

Wth the new (and aptly named) Corkcicle Cigar Glass, the brand has truly spoken to the whiskey-loving, cigar-smoking, multi-tasking man inside all of us. Because haven’t we all experienced that horrendous moment during an evening at home relaxing when a task suddenly appears that calls for at least one free hand, but you just don’t want to put down either your Old Fashioned or your freshly lit cigar? Maybe not. However, if you have experienced this, you know the pain of having to let go of one or the other. And that means your drink’s going to get warm or your stogie is going to go out.

Courtesty of Corkcicle.

The Corkcicle Cigar Glass‘s clever built-in cigar holder means now you don’t have to choose. You can walk around with a drink and cigar in a single hand (without risking carpal tunnel syndrome and fumbling fingers just to try to carry both). It might not seem very practical at first, but hey, neither are suede shoes. It’s the style that counts. And, surprisingly, the glass really does grip a variety of differently sized cigars —which is a plus if you’ve got your own home humidor.

The glass itself is handmade (“with care,” as Corkcicle notes), holds up to nine ounces (aka a double), is large enough to add a few ice cubes (if that’s you’re thing), and costs under $20. But today, we’re giving one away. For free.

One lucky winner will receive a free Corkcicle Cigar Glass — just in time for winter. Enter below and, who knows, maybe you’ll be relaxing in a leather armchair, smoking a Cuban, and having a glass of one of the best whiskeys, while watching the snow fall silently out the window. Classy.

Gose-style beers are perfect for spring, and these are our favorites
This salty, tart, sour beer is perfect for spring.
Gose beer

As we mentioned in an earlier post, the Gose style might be the best beer choice for spring and summer drinking. This wheat beer is top-fermented and gets a second fermentation with lactobacillus bacteria. This gives it a tart, sour flavor profile similar to your favorite sour ale. The addition of coriander and sea salt adds some spice and salinity to this very unique, refreshing beer.

On top of that, this tart, salty thirst-quencher is usually between 4-5% ABV. This results in a crushable, salty, crisp beer you won’t be able to put down even between horseshoe throws or cornhole turns.

This is how to make a proper Moscow Mule
It's the classic cocktail in a copper mug, and we're going to show you how to make a Moscow Mule
Moscow Mule with a bowl of limes

You know you've made it as a cocktail when one of the most popular ready-to-drink options is made in your name. That's the case with the Moscow Mule cocktail, the classic mix of vodka and ginger beer, preferably in a copper mug.

Here are some pro tips to keep in mind. First, select a quality vodka. The flavor may be mostly buried in the rest of the drink, but you're still after smoothness. In terms of ginger, go with a proper ginger beer instead of ginger ale. The latter is far too sweet. If you're really feeling intrepid, do as Death & Co. does below and make your own ginger syrup to couple with club soda. You'll be amazed at how much more pronounced the ginger qualities are when going this route.

How to make The Last Word cocktail, a gin classic from another era
Impress your guests and make this circa 1916 drink
Last Word cocktail

Gin often plays a prominent role within classic cocktail culture. Such is the case with The Last Word cocktail, a delightful green concoction enlivened by the aromatic clear spirit. It's a cocktail that has practically lived two lives: one as it was born during the heyday of early 20th-century American bar life and another that started about two decades ago.

How did it come about? Drinks folklore says The Last Word was devised by Frank Fogarty at the Detroit Athletic Club circa 1916. Oddly enough, Fogarty was not a bartender but an award-winning vaudeville comedian. Regardless of his progression, he came up with a damn good cocktail that uses some rather obscure ingredients.
