The sports world is gearing up for another big event as the stars of the tennis world converge on New York, as the U.S. Open is set to begin next week. To celebrate, renowned vodka brand Grey Goose is teaming up with tennis star Frances Tiafoe and is launching a signature cocktail in honor of the event.

Grey Goose is known for its partnerships with celebrities, and Tiafoe is known for his fun style and sartorial elegance both on and off the court, so it makes for a natural partnership. “For me, style has always been another way to bring an upbeat energy to the court and have fun with it,” said Tiafoe. “Grey Goose is all about bringing that same energy to the U.S. Open, and any fan of the tournament knows how iconic the Honey Deuce is. We had so much fun making this campaign and I’m excited to celebrate this U.S. Open season with Grey Goose.”

The best spiced rum cocktails to spice up your palate this fall
It's time to rethink spiced rum: The complex spirit is great in a number of fall-ready cocktails
Lava Roasted Manhattan cocktail.

It happens every year. As summer transitions into fall, it's time to say farewell to favorites such as pilsners, lighter wines, such as sauvignon blanc, and margaritas, and say what's up to Scotch whisky, cabernet sauvignon, and spiced rum cocktails.

That's right, it's time to transition to darker, heftier sippers to get us through the fall and winter. For rum drinkers, that means something aged longer and often hit with a complimentary batch of spices. You see, spiced rum can be a beautiful, complex, soothing drink when it is paired with just the right ratio of additives. Like a great gin, it can take on (or be infused with) a number of great aroma and flavor-building ingredients.

It seems like everyone is getting into mezcal these days, from the spirit popping up at local bars to big celebrity names getting in on the mezcal action.

The best Oktoberfests in the U.S. – this is where you should celebrate
You don't have to fly to Germany to enjoy Oktoberfest
Oktoberfest beer steins

There are a handful of drinking-centric holidays celebrated throughout the world. Like St. Patrick’s Day and Cinco de Mayo, Oktoberfest is not only a popular drinking holiday, but its origins are also a mystery to most of us hoisting frosty brews and eating schnitzel, sauerkraut, and currywurst. While we’ll get into the other holidays in later articles, today is all about Oktoberfest.

For those unaware, Oktoberfest is the biggest beer festival in the world. But it’s so much more than that. There's a giant carnival as well as multiple tents featuring food, music, and beer (Spaten, Paulaner, Augustiner, and more). Usually celebrated in late September through early October every year (except for a handful of years off for wars and COVID), more than 6 million beer fans descend on Theresienwiese (Theresa’s meadow) in Munich, Germany.
