7 Gadgets To Liquor-fy Your Tailgate

By

We’re in the thick of one of the most wonderful times of the year right now, tailgating season, so we’ve put together a list of ways to up your tailgate game by liquor-fying it. Leave the cheap beer and Jäger shots behind by using these cool gadgets to bring your favorite booze along for the game.

  • Wine’O Insulated Paper Bag: No one wants a warm shot of tequila. Look like a class act and keep your liquor at the right temperature with this insulated bag.
  • Cocktail Master Auto Shaker: Making cocktails can be hard after a few of them, especially when you’re trying to grill brats and yell your team’s slogans at any interlopers you may see. Let this Brookstone creation do it for you.
  • Sippin’ Seat Flask Cushion: It holds 36 ounces inside and up to 300 pounds on top, helping you stay loaded and comfortable before or during the game with this handy seat flask.
  • Breathometer A01 Smartphone Breathalyzer: Know when you’ve had too much by using this convenient breathalyzer because cabs are always cheaper than an arrest record and jail.

  • Disposable Flasks: All the fun of getting bombed on your own booze and none of the worry about having to carry glass bottles around. Buy a pack of three, load them up, and go.
  • The Remote Control Beverage Cooler: This isn’t just for liquor, but who wouldn’t want a rolling, remote-controlled cooler at your tailgate spot?
  • The Drinking Jacket: This is the ultimate sweatshirt for a drinker. There’s a built-in beer koozie, bottle opener, flask pocket, and even slip-resistant drink grips for when you’re cold, drunk, and want to push on through like the champ you are.

5 popular bottles of Scotch to build your liquor cabinet around

A well-stocked liquor cabinet is the highlight of any good home bar, and single malt Scotch is arguably the king of the top shelf. But doing things properly can take years of investment, specialist knowledge, and a borderline worrying amount of “sampling.” Still, getting a decent Scotch selection started can be surprisingly simple.

Buying the best Scotch available may be an exercise in futility for many people. Some bottles sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and anything particularly fancy is more of an investment/decoration than something you’ll be sharing with a friend at the end of the evening.

We chatted up some experts in the know, specifically folks from two of our favorite distilleries. Master Blender Miles Munroe of Westward Whiskey and co-founder of Wyoming Whiskey David Defazio.

Mango season is here, which means it's time to give your cocktails the tropical fruit treatment. The vibrant yellow stone fruit affords tons of flavor and works well with a number of spirits. Mango is also incredible refreshing sans booze in a mocktail or classic mango lassi.

While we often talk about mango, as in the flavors we're reminded of when sipping an excellent Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling, we don't work directly with the fruit as much as we should. Those who live in sunny states like Florida, California, and Hawaii are fortunate enough to grow their own. But even if you reside elsewhere, mangos are pretty readily available, especially this time of year.
