Okay, you’re bringing someone over for a date and you know their favorite drink is a Ramos Gin Fizz and, without thinking about it, you say you’ve got it. Sure, how hard could it be? You look it up. Gin, lemon and lime juice, heavy cream. Great, easy. Then you get to the last ingredient. One egg white.

What the hell? (If you’ve heard of or used egg whites before, stick with me. Stories are important, too.)

You’ve never worked with egg whites before. They might make someone sick when raw, right? Isn’t that what the warnings say? Possibly poisoning your date because you don’t know what you’re doing (even if it isn’t true) isn’t a great option, so you look for an alternative. Enter InstaFoam.

Developed by Addiction Mixology, InstaFoam is the world’s first all-natural, vegan, plant-based liquid that recreates the foam that would usually be produced by an egg white. Not only do you not have to worry about making a mess trying to separate the egg white from the yolk, but you’ll also avoid the chance of looking like an idiot if you do something wrong during the cocktail-making process.

For those with little fridge space, InstaFoam is also a big help—a four-ounce bottle the equivalent of around 500 egg whites. At $26.95 per bottle, this is a bargain, considering for the same price, you’d only get around 200 eggs on average.

The biggest thing when using InstaFoam is following the directions. Seriously. If you don’t, it isn’t going to work and, just as if you were using real egg whites, you’re going to look like an idiot.

If you’re not feeling like drinking—or you want to round out your datenight with even more foamy, frothy goodness, InstaFoam is good for adding texture and volume to non-alcoholic items like milkshakes and meringues. Not only can you woo your date with his or her favorite drink, but damn if producing a lemon meringue isn’t impressive on that same night.

Either way, boozy or not, InstaFoam is a solid investment for those that want to impress without having to work too hard.

A cocktail to toast the Houston Rodeo from Beyoncé’s whisky brand
Welcome the 2025 Houston Rodeo with this honey, ginger, and whisky drink
Texas Buckiin'

With the 2025 Houston Rodeo on the cards for next month, rodeo fans are getting ready -- and preparing cocktails too. One on-theme suggestion comes from SirDavis, the whisky brand founded by Houston native Beyoncé, which has created an easy to mix drink that's perfect for enjoying the spectacle.

Combining classic flavors of whisky, lemon juice, and honey, then adding a good splash of ginger beer for length and flavor turns this from something heavily boozy to more of a casual, easy sipper that's good for a relaxed drink without too high ABV. And if you make the honey syrup in advance, you can whip up one of these drinks or even a batch of them quickly and easily.

Pick your preferred Margarita: spicy, sharp, caffeinated, or classic
There's a Margarita to suit every palate
The Original Margarita

This weekend sees National Margarita Day, and if you fancy raising a glass to this beloved cocktail then you've got plenty of options. You'll find Margaritas in both frozen and non-frozen versions, and if you've only ever had a happy hour pre-batched frozen Margarita from a machine in a dive bar, then it's well worth trying the non-frozen version. With quality spirits and fresh citrus juice, the drink is clear, classy, and perfectly balanced.

As for ingredients, practically anything goes here too. While Margaritas might vary with the fruits, garnishes, and even spirits that they use, with mezcal being a popular alternative to tequila, one thing that almost all Margarita variations have in common is the use of triple sec.
