(City) Surf’s Up: Saturdays Surf NYC Spring 14

The design guys at Saturdays Surf NYC are no fools. Morgan Collett, Josh Rosen and Colin Tunstall have built their brand on rock solid intuition, responding to their personal wardrobe and lifestyle needs, which basically equate to our own. Each apparel collection looks and feels right with pieces that are both covetable and timeless in a ‘I jumped out of bed, picked my favourite t-shirt off my bedroom floor and left the house on a sweet ass summer day’ kind of way. Totally effortless and supremely cool.

Fortunately, the spring 2014 offering followed suite, with an array of pieces we can’t wait to slip into for summer that ride the brand’s urban surf vibe. For starters, the go-to graphical tee is omnipresent, with bold and witty variations of ‘Saturdays’, original stripe placement and original artwork on 100% cotton. The shirts are big news too – we can’t get enough of their original camo line design. The grey and white striped linen is the ultimate vacation tee.

The colour palette is 100% summer chill, with laundered, perfectly worn and washed out red and grey offset against camel, blue-gray and the perfect shade of navy. Ideal for catching a few waves on the subway to work, wouldn’t you say?

Citizen Tsuyosa 37mm

Smaller case sizes are trendy, and every brand wants a piece of the pie.

Citizen just rolled out new Tsuyosa timepieces, designed to keep up with the changing times. While the brand worked on 40 mm Tsuyosa watches, it is now downscaling the size, just a little bit, to 37 mm. Thanks to its striking colors, the Tsuyosa collection has dominated the industry in the past two years. Well, this is the perfect time to take over again with a watch that has a compact size. Even though this watch is smaller than the 40 mm version, it still sits perfectly on the wrist.

Sorel, Madeira, and bourbon? Bardstown says yes with this Manhattan riff
This unusual recipe shows off the French Oak finish of a fine bourbon
Bardstown Bourbon Communion Cocktail

Bardstown is going bold with its latest cocktail offering --  the drink stars the bourbon brand's new release, its Cathedral French Oak bourbon. It also makes use of Sorel Liqueur, a hibiscus-flavored liqueur inspired by the traditional Caribbean tea drink. Hibiscus is a great ingredient to incorporate into cocktails, as it has both a sharp, berry-like quality and a floral softness, and Sorel incorporates ingredients like ginger, cassia, and cloves as well as hibiscus to give the liqueur a spicy note.

There's also Maderia in this cocktail, which is a much-maligned wine style but one that's becoming increasingly popular in cocktail circles, where its fortified nature and bold sweetness make it an interesting substitution for vermouth. In fact, this cocktail is really a kind of Manhattan variation, with bourbon rather than rye, the addition of a floral liqueur, and the use of Maderia in place of the vermouth.
