“If you start me up. If you start me up, I’ll never stop.” We imagine that’s what the Rolling Stones must have sang before the started partying every night. In fact almost a decade before that song was released in 1981, the Stones were on tour in 1972. They kicked it off in San Francisco, at the Trident Bar, where the bartender pulled a bottle of Jose Cuervo and made a Tequila Sunrise — tequila, orange juice and grenadine. The Rolling Stones liked the beverage so much that they made it the official tour cocktail and dubbed their tour the Tequila Sunrise Tour, taking bottles of Cuervo with them through 32 cities and 48 shows.

To celebrate Jose Cuervo’s role in the 1972 Rolling Stones tour, the tequila label released Jose Cuervo® The Rolling Stones Tour Pick — two limited edition tequila bottles of Especial and Reserva de la Familia® with a special label depicting the Rolling Stones tongue and lip logo. The bottles come at either a very reasonable $16.99 for the Special Edition Rolling Stones Jose Cuervo Especial, which the brand says is “for the pinnacle partier — those in the front row of the concert and front of bar in the nightclub – there is the Cuervo family’s blue agave recipe bottled at 81 proof, while the Reserva de la Familia® Collectors Edition goes for $149.99, and is “for the indulgent reveler – those who want and appreciate the finer things that come with the rock star lifestyle – this is the private Extra Añejo tequila reserve of the Cuervo Family.”

So if you want to party like the Rolling Stones, go grab yourself a bottle of one of the limited edition bottles of Jose Cuervo, and start drinking the night away.

Our best alternative toppings for your dogs
You can prepare your hot dogs by steaming, boiling, or grilling, but that doesn’t mean the toppings have to be mustard only -- and no, we don’t put ketchup on hot dogs. We’re going to take a look at some of the most creative hot dog toppings out there that are sure to up your hot dog game.
Classic Chicago dogs

These hot dog toppings always will be a staple. The Vienna Beef hot dog reached Chicago during the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893, and the Chicago Dog was invented in 1929 at a stand named Fluky’s. The hot dog was originally called the Depression Sandwich. The Chicago-style dog features a poppy seed bun with an all-beef frank topped with mustard, white onions, dark green sweet pickle relish, sliced tomato, sport peppers, a dill pickle spear, and celery salt. If you don’t have the celery salt, that is passable, but you definitely can’t have a Chicago dog without the remaining ingredients.

How to make the best vodka gimlet for a twist on a classic

Swap out the gin for vodka

Gim gimlet in coupe glasses

When you hear the word “gimlet,” what do you think about? If you’re not a big gin (or cocktail) drinker, you might confuse it with goblet and think about a big chalice or some other drinking receptacle. But a gimlet is actually a cocktail that has its origins in the 1800s.

The original gimlet was (and still is) simply made with gin and lime cordial (or sweetened lime juice). One of the most popular sweetened lime juices is Rose’s. First introduced in 1867, it was a popular choice by the British Navy to add sweetness and lower the proof of their high-proof gin rations. It gained in popularity in the early 20th century. And, like many classic cocktails, it has gained a new faithful following with the rise in cocktail culture of the last two decades.
