Nobody has fully unlocked the secrets of the French liquor absinthe. Sure some say its the wormwood, but I personally blame that crazy green fairy that always pops up and starts stirring shit. Hazy memories, head-pounding mornings and cringe-worthy when-did-we-do that photographs are nearly always the result, but it’s not quite clear whether it’s the [...]

This morning sees tracks dropping from a battle tested veteran and arguably the most hyped young’un in the game. First comes A$AP Rocky with the very NSFW “Purple Kisses” video, a track from his entourage/collective A$AP Mob’s announced upcoming album Lord$ Never Worry (due August 28, 2012).

The idea being you can play seasoned mixologist at your house even if you have a problem mixing a rum & coke. [...]

There is nothing better than a glass of happiness on the rocks — especially in case of emergencies like, oh I don’t know, your shitty job, crazy friends, judgmental family and even your girlfriend. So you may be looking for a unique way to store all the boozy tools necessary to stay sane, and hence [...]

Burnett’s is like a (very cheap) friend you haven’t seen in a long time but meet on the street, and you instantly strike up a conversation like no time has been lost. One shot of their Orange flavored vodka and I’m taken back a couple years to parties in college, graduation night and a slew [...]
