TGIF! The weekend is here and it is the perfect time to say cheers with these amazing drinks selections.

Monaco Cocktails Cranberry is like a new BFF in a can. The  beverage brand with two shots and 9% ABV per serving will bring you bliss when you flip the tap and take a sip. It’s equal to two shots in a can, so you can double your pleasure as you kick back on Saturday night with Netflix.

There are variety of flavors to choose from, such as Citrus Rush,  Tequila Sun Crush, or Cranberry. Monaco Cocktails Cranberry is divine and we know you will love it.

For a perfect Sunday brunch at home with a loved one this weekend a must is an order from Laithwaites.

We adore their selection of Prezza Prosecco, which is crisp and refreshing. So many divine qualities create an exquisite taste on your palette. It’s a party in a bottle that will warm up your winter weekend in the best way possible. Best of all it comes from the Botter family prime-sited Treviso vineyards and carries 90 points and a gold medal. Perfection!

Laithwaites offers exclusive wines through vineyard partnerships all over the world from Bordeaux to the Barossa, New Zealand to California, and remains a leader in the wine subscription industry.

Get warmed up this winter with a tangy delight. Whiskey lovers will adore the sweet taste of the new Jameson Orange.

What is so unique about this new spin on Jameson Irish Whiskey is the taste that is best described as joyful and nostalgic. If you were that kid that loved Orange Popsicles you will adore this. And, if you are a fan of citrus you will find bliss in a sip.

While other brands with citrus undertones have a tendency to overwhelm the senses, Jameson has successfully created a perfect balance. This is a perfect opportunity to just pour some on the rocks to indulge in the sweet, spicy, nutty vanilla that it delivers with so much versatile flavor. You can even enjoy amazing cocktails with a range of mixed drinks like with Sprite and cranberry juice. Try also making our favorite, the Jameson Orange Mule.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 parts Jameson Orange
  • 4 parts Ginger Beer
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters

How to mix:

  • Combine over ice, garnish with an orange twist and serve in a mule mug

Happy weekend!

It was the holiday mixer that hit all the sweet notes.

Milk Bar founder Christina Tosi and Ziploc hosted a fun interactive holiday party at the New York City Milk Bar flagship location on November 29. Attendees at the special affair got to hear Christina’s tips and tricks for the holiday season, as well as see Ziploc’s latest innovation, the Stay Open Design bags.

“Ziploc bags have been a favorite tool of mine since I started baking because they are so versatile and easy to use. From rolling out and freezing dough to ensuring my baked goods always stays fresh, there’s no shortage of ways that I use Ziploc® at home and in our bakeries,” she said. “The new Ziploc® Stay Open Design bags help give me an extra set of hands in the kitchen. As soon as I tried them, I was immediately reminded of mixing puppy chow in a Ziploc® bag as a child, and I knew this would be another perfect collaboration.”

Teaming up for the release the bakery’s first-ever, limited-edition take on “puppy chow” dessert – Ziploc x Milk Bar Holiday Mix – is a perfect way to start December. Perfect for festive gatherings, hosting gifts, stocking stuffers, family road trips and long sessions on the couch watching holiday movies, the offering features popular holiday flavors, including corn square cereal, white chocolate, cookie butter, sprinkles, and sugar cookie pieces.

Each bag of the Ziploc® x Milk Bar Holiday Mix comes pre-packaged in a quart-size Ziploc® Stay Open Design storage bag. Ziploc®‘s latest innovation helps ensure the contents will stay fresh and easily snackable thanks to a cuffed opening and patented stand up bottom that keeps it upright and open for filling and sharing with confidence. For the month of December, pick up a bag at the New York City, Washington D.C. and Los Angeles Milk Bar stores for just $7, plus tax, while supplies last.

And, for anyone in NYC, starting December 1, you can also book the perfect holiday activity, a build-your-own holiday mix-making experience! Attendees will learn Christina Tosi’s tips and tricks with the Milk Bar expert bakers and walk away with a gallon-size bag of holiday mix gifting for their own enjoyment.

For those not located near a Milk Bar store, don’t worry! Milk Bar and Ziploc® are sharing the exclusive recipe for free on both of their websites – a wonderful opportunity for a festive home activity with friends and family. Ziploc® also created a one-stop shop, to easily find all the ingredients needed at Amazon, Target or Walmart, including Ziploc® Stay Open Design bags that allow for easily folding, filling, scooping and snacking.
