Celebrate America with the Return of the Old Camp Whiskey Patriot Pack

By Sam Slaughter Published April 21, 2021

For the second summer in a row, Old Camp Whiskey, which was started by Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley of the multi-platinum pop-country duo Florida Georgia Line, is bringing back special packaging that celebrates all things America while also supporting service members and their families.

The Patriot Pack is about America as can be. While the contents inside are the same — it is still the same 35% alcohol by volume Peach Pecan whiskey that the brand has been selling since 2016 — the outside has been changed to be more patriotic.

Starting, necessarily, with a star-spangled wrap, the bottle also features lyrics from the song “May We All,” which features country legend Tim McGraw. (A sampling of those lyrics, for those not in the country know: “May we all get to grow up in our red, white and blue little town/Get a one-star hand-me-down Ford to try and fix up.”)

The special edition bottle is also a nod to a partnership with the United Service Organizations (USO), a nonprofit that supports America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country throughout their service to the nation. (You may have heard of USO shows before.)

“We are excited to be working with Old Camp Whiskey and Florida Georgia Line and are glad to officially be a part of their camp. We appreciate their support of our service members and their families and thank them for their assistance in increasing awareness of the USO and our important mission,” Lisa Anastasi, Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer of the USO said in a statement.

The decision to partner with the USO and release the special edition Patriot Pack was simply for the members of Florida Georgia Line.

“Several members of my family have served in the military. My grandfather was awarded the Purple Heart in World War II and he passed away before I was born. His life story has always inspired me and I have so much respect for the bravery, resilience, and commitment that our armed forces have. To be able to support our troops in this way is a true honor,” Brian Kelley said in a statement.

The Old Camp Whiskey Patriot Pack is available at select retailers nationwide for around $20.

This frozen espresso martini recipe proves everything tastes better frozen

An elevated form of your favorite coffee cocktail

frozen espresso martini

Frozen drinks are usually associated with summer, and I understand why. There's nothing like sipping on a pina colada or even a wine frosé poolside while you soak up the sun. But just like I still drink hot coffee in the summer or iced coffee in the winter, there's still a place for frozen cocktails in your life year-round. I recently tried a frozen espresso martini, proving that everything tastes better. Perfect for a post-dinner snack or a refreshing game night drink to serve amongst friends, there's never a bad time a frozen espresso martini. This recipe is worth drinking in any weather, whether hot or cold.

The espresso martini is one of those cocktails with dozens of variations. Some recipes are creamier, whereas others have a heavier espresso taste. Some variations use other types of liquor instead of vodka or recipes with specialty flavors, such as pumpkin spice espresso martini.

Try this easy way to make a creamy oat milk latte

Oatly's Barista Edition products make for an easy oat milk latte

Nespresso Oatly Pods

Recently, at every turn, I've encountered coffee brands offering drinks made with oat milk, a trending new plant-based milk alternative. A few weeks ago, Nespresso announced the launch of Nespresso x Oatly espresso capsules, explicitly created to pair with Oatly Barista Edition oat milk. The new Nespresso x Oatly capsules are compatible with Vertuo Nespresso machines.

These new double espresso capsules (brews 2.7 ounces) feature a limited-edition coffee blend, perfect for making creamy lattes. This exciting new release, combined with the recent hype around oat milk, inspired me to attempt to make an oat milk latte for myself. Here's how you can make an Oatly Barista Edition oat milk latte from the comfort of your own home.

The Glen Grant is releasing a 65-year-old single malt whisky

The Glen Grant is launching a whisky that was distilled in 1958

The Glen Grant

If you have a lot of money burning a hole in your pocket, the distillers at The Glen Grant have just the right expression for you. And we’re not kidding when we say “a lot of money”. That’s because the renowned Scottish whisky distillers just launched the Splendours Collection, a series featuring the rarest and oldest whiskies maturing at The Glen Grant Distillery. And they aren’t playing around with the first release. Hint: it was distilled in the 1950s.
The Glen Grant 65-Year-Old Single Malt

Disitilled in 1958, this whisky has been aging for more than six decades in a single French oak butt in the distillery’s oldest barrelhouse. Only 151 hand-crafted decanters are available. According to the brand, this results in a timeless expression that begins with a nose of sweet treacle, ripe black berries, and sandalwood. The palate is a mix of orange peels, ripe black cherries, fruit cake, and dates. The finish is a lingering, warming mix of citrus, spice, oak, and gentle smoke.
