This week's libation list includes classic mixers, beach beer, birthday cake booze, space spirits, and more! Grab a tumbler, and let's get mixin'!
Astronaut Food is a far-out bevy - like outer space far out. Artifact's spaceman-themed brew includes freeze-dried strawberries (like the astronauts eat) that process differently than fresh berries to add far more fruity flavor per ounce. It packs 16 berries per serving, and it's got a taste akin to a dessert wine in a can, minus the cloying musk of a port. So blast off with a pack of Astronaut Food - it's out-of-this-world delicious!
Move over Schweppes. Topo Chico is bum-rushing the mixer game board! Chron.com reported Coca-Cola's popular sparkling water brand is branching out by now offering Ginger Beer, Tonic Water, and Club Soda. They're already dipping their toes into the spirits world with RTD product launches, so this was a natural next step. Give it a shot. If these are half as good as their other products, you're in for some mixology awesomeness.
We don't necessarily think surfing when we think Portland, Maine, but Allagash Brewing got us feeling those good vibrations with Surf House, their new lager. It's a crisp, refreshing beer that's perfect for beach days, barbecues, or just chilling in the hot tub. At 5.5% ABV, it's light, easy-drinking, and brewed locally in Maine so no big carbon footprint. Catch a wave with their new beach-brew this summer.
Sugarlands Distillery turned 10 and rang in the celebrations with their new Birthday Cake Sippin' Cream! This rum liqueur captures the essence of a birthday cake with creamy vanilla and sugary sprinkle highlights. Launching March 9th, the spirit marks a new chapter at Suarlands with revamped packaging and new flavors for the distiller. To find a Sugarlands retailer near you, visit FindMoonshine.com or order online at Sugarlands.com.
Michael David Winery's new Misfits and Mavens collection released a Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc, all under $15. The fanciful labels picture fantasy illustrations, and the wines aren't run-of-the-mill. Expect big, bright fruit flavors in their Cab, juicy notes in their Pinot, and some refreshing citrus in their Sauvignon Blanc. They're a perfect gift for that eccentric arty-aunty you love so much.
