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.

The first in its Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Single Malt Whiskey Archive Series, this expression was made with 100% malted barley and distilled in a single season by one distiller at Town Branch.

How to make eggnog and mix into 6 cocktail recipes

A guide on how to mix and enjoy this holiday classic

Homemade eggnog

With the holiday season upon us, now is the time for cozy festive drinks like eggnog. While most of my experiences with this drink have been slightly underwhelming, using pre-made eggnog from the store, the experience of occasionally enjoying fresh homemade nog has changed my mind about this completely. In my experience it's well worth it make your own at home, and once you have it ready you can mix eggnog into cocktails for yourself and your guests. If you haven't made it before, don't worry -- it's easy to do at home and requires common ingredients you'll find in any store.

According to Tyson Buhler of the renowned bar Death & Co, you can make your eggnog even more memorable by aging it: "If you have the patience and refrigerator space, let this nog age for a few months, and the flavor and texture will change drastically over time."
