What you’re having for breakfast the next day probably isn’t on your mind as you’re finishing that low ball of whiskey in front of the 11pm news. But just like putting the coffee on the night before, add Oats Overnight to your evening routine and you’ll make your morning routine easier than ever.

Here’s how it works: Order an Oats Overnight 3-pack starter kit for $18—it comes with a Blender Bottle. Tear open a pre-measured packet and dump it in the bottle along with 8-ounces of milk. Shake briefly and then put in the refrigerator while you sleep. The next morning, just give the bottle a quick shake and enjoy a nutritious breakfast. It’s so easy (and good), you may want to make this a daily habit.

There are currently three varieties to choose from: Green Apple Cinnamon, Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana, and Strawberries & Cream. When you buy the three-pack, you can choose one of each flavor or three of the same flavor. There’s also a 12-pack for $45 and a 24-pack for $85, and it’s a bonus that you don’t have to wheel a cart through the grocery store. Buy online and they ship straight to your door.

While the flavors are different, each variety has the same four ingredients—chia seeds (Ancient Mayan warriors ate these for strength!), oatmeal (adds vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, flavor, and texture), flax seeds (full of omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, antioxidants), and protein enriched with maca root (an ancient superfood known for its nutrients and used for medicinal purposes).

Oats Overnight, when prepared with low-fat milk, has the same protein punch as a breakfast of five large eggs. Each flavor offers between 32 and 34 grams of protein per serving.

Take a break from soggy cereal or those dry ass breakfast bars and give Oats Overnight a shot.

How to make a mudslide: your new dessert cocktail go-to
Who doesn't love a dessert cocktail?
Mudslide

In the world of mixed drinks, the dessert cocktail doesn’t get the respect it deserves. Maybe it’s because it’s boozy, sweet, and sometimes borderline indulgent. It’s not the kind of drink you’ll just whip up on a sunny Tuesday afternoon. But it is a great drink genre for a special occasion or after a heavy meal.

We’re talking about drinks like the Grasshopper, White Russian, Espresso Martini, and the Mudslide. And while we could go into length explaining the intricacies of every one of the cocktails we just mentioned, today we’re most concerned with the Mudslide.

When it comes to summer drinks, isn't there something awfully tempting about a gas station slushie? These drinks may not be subtle or sophisticated in terms of flavor, but there's something undeniably satisfying about the crunchy texture of ice crystals. And for my fellow cocktail enthusiasts, there's a lesson here about texture. You can create something similar in terms of barely-frozen ice that's perfect for summer sipping, and you can do it with far more interesting and complex boozy flavors. It's also shockingly easy to do at home.

What you're going to want to do is make a prosecco granita.
How to make prosecco granita
It really couldn't be simpler to make a granita. All you need to do is take a bottle of prosecco (or other fizzy wine of your choice -- even Champagne if you're feeling fancy) and add a few tablespoons of sugar and any other flavoring ingredients you want. Pour your mixture into a wide, shallow pan (ideally, the liquid should be no more than an inch deep for quick freezing) and then pop the tray into the freezer.

The 5 best Jamaican rum brands for your favorite summer cocktails
Jamaica is a rum-lover's dream
Rum cocktail

While rum is made everywhere, from Louisiana to the Philippines, its heart is in the Caribbean. This is where places like Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Barbados, Cuba, and Jamaica have been crafting rum for centuries. And while we could spend a whole article explaining the intricacies of the various Caribbean rum hotbeds, today, we’re most interested in Jamaica.

When people talk about Jamaican rum, the first word that usually comes up is “funky”. Jamaican rums, while known for their bold, complex, rich profiles and notes of molasses, fruit, and gentle spices, they’re also known for fermented funky, lightly barnyard aromas and flavors.
