If you’re making lots of drinks or spending some time outdoors in the heat, it’s always nice to have a decent supply of ice. That’s where some of the best ice makers come into the picture — or, more specifically, portable ice makers. As long as there is an outlet nearby, you can use them just about anywhere.

Amazon has the Igloo ICEB26WH Automatic Electric Countertop Ice Maker on sale right now for $10 off. You can grab it for $140 with free Prime shipping and returns. It can make up to 26 pounds of ice in 24 hours (or nine cubes in seven minutes).

Available in several colors, this portable ice maker from Igloo can sit on any countertop or surface, including outdoors. It has a built-in water tank, and as long as you keep it filled, it will continue producing ice. It does not need to be hooked up to a water line. The water tank holds up to 3 quarts at a time, and the ice basket can store up to 2 pounds of ice at a time. The machine will let you know when it needs water or when the ice basket is full.

The control panel on the top of the ice maker includes LEDs so you can see the buttons better and so you can read the notifications. You can choose the size of the cubes produced, too, with small and large size options. The transparent lid allows you to see into the ice basket, so you can see how full it is at a glance. If you need ice in a pinch, you’ll have up to nine cubes ready to go just seven minutes after you turn it on. It comes with an ice scoop that makes it easy to get the ice out, but the basket is also removable if you want to dump the whole batch into a cooler.

Normally $150, Amazon is offering $10 off the Igloo ICEB26WH Automatic Electric Countertop Ice Maker. You can get it for $140 with free Prime shipping, and you can return it for free if you’re not satisfied. That’s a great deal for a portable ice maker that can get you ice fast — anywhere, anytime.

Forget wine — Beer and cheese is an unbeatable combination

Beer and cheese

When one hears the term cheese pairings, wine is the beverage that most often comes to mind, we'd wager. Because, of course, it is. The pairing of wine and cheese is as classic a coupling as peanut butter and jelly, bacon and eggs, or chocolate and strawberries. They're meant to be together. But that certainly doesn't mean that wine is the only adult beverage that can dance an alluring tango alongside everyone's favorite dairy product. Beer, as humble as its reputation can be, is also a beautiful balance to cheese's immense offering of flavors. While some may think of beer as not being as multi-dimensional and varied in its palate-pleasing capabilities as wine, this is not the case - especially now that we live in a world with so many exquisite craft beers, stouts, and lagers.
Of course, another classic accompaniment to cheese is bread or crackers. Why might that be, one might ask. Is it because we're simply in need of a starchy vessel to usher the cheese into our mouths? The answer is actually a bit deeper than that. Starches like bread and crackers are made from the same yeasty ingredients as beer, so their pairing makes perfect culinary sense.
This isn't to say, though, that one can simply pick up a hunk of cheddar and crack open a Budweiser and expect culinary artistry. The science is a bit more nuanced than that, so we're here to help you find the best pairings for your favorite beers and cheeses.

Mijenta Cristalino

If you’re new to tequila, you might not know all the terms. Even if you’re just a beginner, you probably know all about blanco, reposado, añejo, and maybe even joven. But chances are, you’re not familiar with Cristalino tequila. This reasonably contemporary style is simply añejo tequila that’s been charcoal filtered to remove its natural caramel color and various impurities.

The style is more than just a little popular. It’s actually the fastest growing style of tequila according to Nielsen data. The newest brand to get in on the Cristalino trend is Mijenta.

You may not dislike IPAs as much as you think — you’ve just tried the wrong type
There's much more to the IPA than bitter hop bombs
Beer

The IPA has been described as the cilantro of the beer world. It’s assumed by some novice drinkers that you either love it or hate it. On one hand, it’s one of the most popular beer styles in the American craft world. It’s loved by many drinkers for its liberal use of hops and fresh, crushable flavor profile.

But haters of the style dislike it because they have an assumption that all IPA beers are aggressively hopped and uncomfortably bitter. While there are IPAs that fit that criterion (and fans of that style can’t get enough of them), there are also a handful of other types of IPAs to fit any palate.
