Ninja CrushBoss — Ninja

If you know anything about Ninja, you know they always have a smart, new innovation coming around the corner. Today, they’ve just launched their most intelligent kitchen system yet—a multi-use system that blends, preps, and dices from one powerful base. Known as America’s #1 blender brand, the Ninja CrushBOSS transforms you into your very own sous chef with one system that replaces a traditional blender, food processor, and to-go tumbler.

“The Ninja CrushBOSS is Ninja’s fastest, smartest all-in-one system yet, designed to give home cooks more versatility in one powerful appliance. If one system can blend, process, dice and go, why buy four? CrushBOSS saves valuable counter and cabinet space, with seamless setup, intuitive operation and seven colorways that make it a stylish addition to nearly any kitchen, ” says DJ Hageman – VP of Ninja Marketing.

The Ninja CrushBOSS Kitchen System + Dicing will quickly become the go-to kitchen tool, integrating SmartMenu Technology which automatically recognizes which vessel is attached and unlocks the right programs, then auto-adjusts for silky smoothies, chef-level chopped veggies, and perfectly diced potatoes in seconds. As a big fan of all of Ninja’s kitchen innovations, I’m super excited to put the CrushBOSS to the test.

The XL 72-oz pitcher is engineered to eliminate dead zones for smoother, more consistent blends, while the single-serve Ninja BlendBoss Tumbler delivers powerful, personal blending.

Tequila vs. vodka: Exploring the key differences between two popular spirits

Vodka

I’ve been writing about spirits for almost two decades. I’ve learned the ins and outs of every popular hard alcohol. But if you’re new to the spirits world, you might not know the differences between tequila and vodka. Tequila vs. vodka –this is especially true when both are unaged. In appearance alone, the two spirits look remarkably similar. When made with high-quality ingredients, distilled multiple times, and filtered a handful of times, both tequila and vodka are crystal clear. There aren’t any noticeable differences. The same could be said for a bottle of gin or a glass of tap water.

Once you take a whiff, the differences begin to reveal themselves. Unaged (or blanco) tequila carries aromas like vegetal sweetness, cooked agave, vanilla, and cracked black pepper. Vodka has different aromas based on its main ingredient (wheat, rye, corn, potatoes, or something else), but you can bet you find scents of neutral ethanol, minerality, vanilla, cracked black pepper, and even citrus peels.

Whether you are like me, or you know someone like me, spirits are a great way to show someone in your life you care. So, here are our favorite gifts for the man in your life with spirit.
