When we came to pick our favorite tequilas for the year, one brand we couldn’t overlook was Lo Siento. This relatively new brand burst onto the tequila scene when it launched in 2021 and immediately started making waves with its offerings, which have since expanded to include Silver, Reposado, and Añejo tequilas. However, curious tequila drinkers could have a bit of a challenge getting their hands on a bottle, as the brand was previously only available in California and Tennessee. Now, Lo Siento is expanding into Georgia as well.

“This is really just the beginning of what will be an incredibly thrilling year ahead for us – we have been slowly and steadily building what we feel is going to be the breakout emerging tequila brand of the year,” said Ryan Tierney, Founder of Lo Siento Tequila. “Georgia, more specifically, is a vibrant, exciting market for us and just one of many more state expansions in the pipeline – we are thrilled to have such great distributor and retail partners already on board for what will be a massive year ahead.”

Lo Siento makes tequila from 100% Blue Weber agave, which is sustainably farmed in Mexico’s Jalisco region. With no additives and ethical sourcing, the tequila will appeal to those who are looking to upgrade from the tequila slammers of their younger days, but who don’t want to spend the Earth. At $35 to $65 per 750 ml bottle, the tequila is affordable enough to appeal to a larger crowd.

Though the brand suggests that all three of its expressions can be drunk neat, the Blanco also makes for good cocktails such as a classic margarita. If you’re after something more aged and complex though, try the Añejo chilled over ice.

Four Roses’ 2026 Limited Edition Small Batch is its oldest blend yet

Bottle, Whiskey, Glass

Four Roses has announced the release of its 2026 Limited Edition Small Batch Bourbon next month — and this year’s batch reaches back further than any prior release, blending bourbons aged 14 to 23 years.

The new blend from the Lawrenceburg-based distillery combines four hand-selected batches across three of the distillery’s ten recipes: 14-year-old OBSK, 14-year-old OESK, 15-year-old OESV, and a 23-year-old OESK. It’s non-chill filtered and bottled at barrel strength, 109.2 proof.

The Gold Room Is Peak Gilded Age New York Glamour

Altar, Architecture, Building

As a New England WASP, I probably have a hereditary fondness for grand old rooms. My Boston Brahmin forebears, after trading religious zeal for mercantile ambition, liked nothing better than sipping claret, playing whist, and smoking cigars in their clubhouses on Beacon Hill. In private quarters adorned with mahogany paneling, maritime paintings, and marble fireplaces, my flinty ancestors chortled deep into the night—safely removed from wives, papists, and, God forbid, Yale men.

Since moving to New York City, I’ve delighted in finding bars that feel like clubhouses frozen in the Gilded Age. The Campbell in Grand Central comes to mind. The Rose Club at the Plaza. Although much newer, the Polo Bar gussies up the blue-blood clubhouse aesthetic with fabulous fare, a trophy-laden wine cellar, and an ultra-exclusive mystique. But the apotheosis of robber-baron extravagance is The Gold Room at Lotte New York Palace.

Classic lagers to drink if you want your beer to “taste like beer”

Pilsner Urquell

When you think about the flavor of beer, what do you imagine? To me, it’s a crisp, refreshing, no-frills lager. The type of beer you’d just as likely crack open on an unseasonably warm spring day while grilling as you would after an afternoon of mowing the lawn on a hot, hazy, humid summer day. It’s light, refreshing, and tastes like beer.

That’s not to say that there isn’t a place for chocolate- and coffee-centric porters or boozy, barrel-aged stouts, or even tart, lip-smacking sour beers. There is a time and place for those and many other styles. It’s just that sometimes I want to crack open a beer and not taste an explosion of tropical fruit juices or get bashed in the head with malts or oaky wood. I want a beer that tastes the way I imagine it should. Specifically, I’m thinking about a balanced, thirst-quenching lager.
