Resqwater Makes Hangovers a Thing of the Past

(The above title was just to lure you in. It worked! But we do approve this Boozer’s little helper)

It’s rolling up to weekend time and with the first signs of warm weather arriving we have a feeling there may be some booze and beer in the forecast.

We love to party too but that hangover really puts a damper on things. When we came across Resqwater we were intrigued. The company touts that their product is an anti-hangover drink that is all-natural, gluten free (?) and certified kosher (!).

The key ingredients that sparked our interest are:

Sucrose- Since your body requires a lot of sugar to process drinks, this is a good way to help get that process in motion and reduce the dizzy, disoriented feelings that come with a good hangover.

Prickly Pear Cactus Fruit Extract- Helps decrease inflammation therefore it reduces nausea, lack of appetite and cotton mouth.

Electrolytes- Your body needs these to keep running at it’s best and all those trips to the bathroom can deplete them at a rapid rate.

Milk Thistle- We have been taking Milk Thistle pills for years to help the liver function properly so we were pleased to find the extract in the mix.

The key is to be sure to drink Resqwater during and after your party monster lets loose. Granted, you are not going to carry around this bottle to all the bars, but if you are having a crew over to the house, pass this around between beer pong rounds.

How to make Frosé for a heat wave cool off
Your guide to making this staple summer drink
Bar Primi Frose

It's hot out there, people. And one of the absolute best ways to cool off is by way of a great frozen cocktail. So, let us introduce you to the pink wine-inspired Frosé, an ideal drink for the next heat wave.

But first, a little history. The Frosé was allegedly born at Bar Primi in NYC. The drink is very much as advertised, a rosé wine-centric frozen cocktail (hence, the name). The Italian joint's general manager, Justin Sievers, came up with the drink, treating guests to an ice-cold pink concoction that's all the better during the middle of summer.

Dry aged steak: Everything you need to know
Just like wine and cheese, steak just gets better with age.
Dry aged steak

 

If you're anything like us, one of your go-to happy places is likely a dark and moody gourmet steakhouse, complete with mustachio'd barkeeps and their impressive list of extravagant steak and bourbon pairings. If this is a scene that sounds familiar to you, you probably know a little something about dry-aged steaks. Until just recently, these incredible pieces of meat were only available in upscale steakhouses, very high-end grocers, and specialty butcheries. Thanks to the passage of time and whispers of praise, however, word eventually got out about how incredible dry-aged steaks are, and now they're much more widely accessible online and even at some mid-level grocery stores.

One of the OGs of the U.S. craft beer scene, Fat Tire, is teaming up with skateboard brand Vans to create new summer packaging for its beer and a range of merch including some branded Vans slip-ons. Known originally for its amber ale which has been reformulated (somewhat contentiously) over the years, Fat Tire is one of the important brands in craft beer history and has recently pushed for a more sustainable approach to its beer brewing.

The brand is partnering with Vans to use its iconic checkboard pattern, known as "Off the Wall" on cans of its ale for the summer. The merch collection being released alongside the limited edition packaging includes hats, shirts, a cooler, and most enticingly, a pair of slip-ons that have the Fat Tire logo and slogan on the back of the heel.
