We’ve all been there. You’re getting ready to attend a party and realize you forgot the most important thing – booze. Or maybe you’re hosting the festivities and find yourself running low on alcohol, a tragedy if there ever was one. Whatever the situation, it can put a real damper on your party mood. Fortunately with Thirstie, beer runs are a thing of the past. Available for iPhone and Android, this app changes everything for the better.

How does it work exactly? Think of Thirstie as the “UBER of booze.” They work with retailers to curate a selection of liquor, wine and beer available for delivery in your area, striving to make sure your order is always in stock. Just input your address, select the spirits you want delivered and Thirstie will have it to you within the hour. The service is currently available in select neighborhoods in NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami.

Okay, so there are a lot of booze delivery apps out there at this point. If you currently use a different service, why should you switch to Thirstie? Not only do they deliver spirits on demand, they now feature hundreds of cocktail recipes to review while making your selection. As you’re choosing your spirit or sparkling wine, a cocktail shaker icon will appear in the upper right hand corner of the app, offering 10-15 curated recipes on rotation, powered by Foodily. Each one is hand-picked to ensure anyone can make the cocktail at home with ingredients that aren’t impossible to find. It’s this full-circle experience that convinced us to make the switch from other booze delivery apps.

Time to get buzzed. To learn more about Thirstie and download for iPhone and Android, visit thirstie.com.

Detroit City Distillery is releasing its popular Pączki Day Vodka

Detroit City Distillery is relaunching Pączki Day Vodka as well as another limited expression

Detroit City Distillery

There's a decent chance you don't know what a Pączki is. Well, the easiest way to describe them is that they're filled donuts popular in Poland and areas in the US with large Polish populations. They're most often enjoyed on Fat Tuesday before the beginning of Lent.

While these strawberry, raspberry, and other fruit-filled donuts are great on their own, they're even better when paired with a vodka specifically made for them. Lucky for you, Detroit City Distillery announced that it was once again releasing its popular Pączki Day Vodka. But that's not all; it's also launching a new Pączki-centric spirit.

New report suggests mushroom coffee market is rapidly growing

Have you tried mushroom coffee?

mushroom coffee

Recently, many brands have started to take advantage of the mushroom coffee trend, yet a recent report by Grand View Research suggests the hype around mushroom coffee is not just a trend that will come and go. Per the recent report, the global mushroom coffee market size is expected to reach USD 4.12 billion by 2030, expanding at 5.5% CAGR from 2023 to 2030. The mushroom coffee market report suggests the market's rise is anticipated to be fueled by consumer's preferences for ready-to-drink and premium coffees. Additionally, the report indicates the surge in demand may also be attributed to other factors, such as rising awareness of the medicinal benefits of mushrooms, flavorful coffee experiences, and increased awareness of ethical & sustainable sourcing practices.

Trends indicate that today's consumers are seeking alternative coffee options, such as decaf or herbal coffee blends. Mushroom coffee, which offers a unique and natural flavor profile, maybe another appealing choice for consumers looking for something different. Brands such as Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee and Everyday Dose Coffee have remained top sellers in the industry, with many traditional coffee brands experimenting with options for mushroom coffee, too.
