The Moscato Movement

By Michelle Paolillo Lockett

What’s behind the rise of moscato? It hasn’t hurt that the wine has been embraced by the hip-hop community, with endorsements from the likes of Kayne West, Drake and Lil’ Kim, or that it boasts the popular #Moscato hashtag on Twitter. But while the varietal has caught the attention of the younger set, it’s not just Millennials fueling moscato’s growth of 200% since 2009.



First Sip: Thinking Outside the Margarita Glass

By Melissa Dowling

Although its share of total has slipped a bit in recent years, the Margarita remains the most popular on-premise mixed drink. It’s not hard to see why: The festive classic is a balanced drink with a pleasing sweet/sour taste profile, plus a strong kick. It also allows for numerous flavor variations and makes a great frozen drink-perfect for summer, vacation and celebration.

Kentucky Derby Cocktail: La Mela


2 oz. Jack Daniels
2 oz. Apple juice
4 dashes Angostura Bitters
½ oz. Ginger syrup
4 Basil leaves
 
Muddle the basil leaves and ginger syrup, then shake with all other ingredients and pour over ice.


The mixologists at La Bottega in The Maritime Hotel in New York created this Italian-themed mint julep to honor 2013 Kentucky Derby favorite Verrazano. (La Mela means apple in Italian–a horse’s favorite snack!)

Cheers Product Watch

New Hangar One Packaging



Hangar One vodka has revealed its new apothecary-style bottle with embossed measurements and a stopper cap that brings to mind a measuring beaker. The design was inspired by the brand’s artisanal process, including distillation in a WWII aircraft hangar. The 80-proof vodka is available for a suggested retail price of $29.99 for a 750-ml. bottle.



Newcastle Bombshell



Newcastle has announced the release of Newcastle Bombshell, the brand’s newest limited edition ale. The English-style blonde pale ale has a balanced bittersweet taste and caramel sweetness, according to the company. Bombshell is available in 6-packs and 12-packs with 12-oz. bottles.

Dead Men Tell Whiskey Tales


Melissa Dowling


I received a small coffin in the mail last week. I opened the box upside down so I didn’t see what the coffin was all about at first. I initially wondered if I’d annoyed someone, and he or she was sending a strong message. Or maybe it was a clever Cinco de Mayo promotion, though it was more akin to Dia de los Muertos.



Are Vegetarian or Vegan Meals Better on Planes?

Liza Zimmerman

Despite all the discussion about “star” chefs and “nationally recognized sommeliers” making food and wine selections for business- and first-class airline passengers, the overall level of the in-flight culinary experience doesn’t seem to be going up, but down.
