The Kraken/Tipsy Scoop

It’s called Kraken Ship Wrecked and this limited-edition ice cream collaboration is available now from Goldbelly. There’s nothing frightening about this collaboration. The ice cream itself is a blend of Kraken Black Spiced Rum with cherries and chocolate. The result is a boozy, sweet, chocolatey, spiced ice cream for the cold autumn days ahead.

Delightfully dark and delicious, the flavor is available in Tipsy Scoop Barlours and shipping nationwide throughout the month of October.”

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.

Spirits

The holidays are some of our favorite times of the year. It is all about the parties and the get-togethers that bring everyone in your circle to the same place for celebration, no matter what your background is. That also means you have to spend significantly more time with people. And, if you are like me, most of these parties get a little too peopley for me, causing me to need a bit of liquid social lubricant. 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.
