In the throes of a stubborn heat wave, one of the only things I want in my glass is an ice-cold, low-ABV spritz. They’re easy to make and to drink, and make even the stickiest summer evening a little bit breezier. Lately, I’ve been making spritzes with Le Moné aperitif wine from New York’s Finger Lakes region. Made with Meyer lemons and agave nectar, it’s tart and satisfyingly viscous, and the ABV clocks in at just 16%.

A popular and once-ubiquitous Jamaican rum has become mysteriously scarce this year. And with the shortage of Chartreuse fresh in everyone’s minds, it’s natural to wonder if this current dip in supply may be permanent. Wray & Nephew Overproof is practically synonymous with overproof rum. It’s by far one of Jamaica’s most popular rums, and can be found behind most bars in the U.S.

New brews from our buddies at Stone Brewing, both in the IPAverse… Stone Delicious Hazy IPA – The newest addition to the Stone Delicious family is this spot-on hazy, a creamy and fruit-filled expression of tangerines, mangos, apricots, and lemon — all bright as could be but set against a backdrop of creamy, vanilla-scented malt. Increasingly and incredibly tropical as it builds on the tongue, the beer finishes up with alternating notes of jasmine tea and coconut meat.
