The broad category of IPAs contains some of the most popular beers in the United States. Among them are hazy IPAs, the juicy, ultra-hoppy brews that captured the attention of American craft beer drinkers — and may never let go.

Zing Zang is a mild secret (it’s the top-selling Bloody mix in the U.S.) that I’m all too happy to share, as this bottled mix is better than most homemade versions — and virtually all other bottled mixers I’ve tasted, too.
