It’s strange to think of mixing dairy and booze, but where would The Dude be without his Caucasians? How would frat bros get bombed without dropping Irish cream and whiskey into Guinness? Okay, The Dude would still be stoned and Greek societies probably would still figure out a way to get hammered, but the truth remains: Milk and mash can be the best of friends.   

Take the new TikTok sensation, Caramilk cocktails, for example. TikTok user @emilyeast99 has now reached over 235,000 views, 26,000 likes, and 700 comments in revealing her scrumptious white chocolate concoctions.

Commenters are, for the most part, on board with the libation, with responses ranging from “we have to,” “ummm we needa try” and “medicine for Pooh.” With vodka-spiked melted caramel goodness, finished with grated Caramilk bar shavings on top, the creamy mixture looks like the ultimate dessert sloshing around a martini glass.

Other viewers are understandably a bit more hesitant to splurge on the sweet froth, with gut digestion, lactose intolerance, and possible aching heads in mind. “WHAT DID I DO WRONG” one lamenter asks. 

While concerns may be justified, the Cara-tini is certainly a funky way to entertain and impress guests. Cadbury Caramilk bars are not widely available in the United States. Founded in Canada in 1968, Caramilk is primarily a taste prevalent throughout England and former United Kingdom colonies like New Zealand and the Land of Maple Syrup.

If you’re willing to dive into honeyed new alcohol mixes, the Caramilk cocktail is pretty simple, according to @emilyeast99. First begin with two-thirds of a Cadbury Caramilk bar, 150ml cream, 75ml vodka, and 125ml creamy liqueur such as Baileys.

To make the drink, microwave the chocolate, stirring every 20 seconds until you have a smooth melt. Add cream to the melted chocolate. Fill a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice and pour in the chocolate mixture, vodka, and Baileys. Shake vigorously until ingredients are well combined and well chilled. Strain into a martini glass, and garnish with grated Caramilk flakes. Toast to the Dude (or whichever other mentor might enjoy the mix), sip, and enjoy.

Get ready for the weekend with this twist on an Irish Coffee
Take the classic recipe up a notch with flavored whiskey
Coffee with whipped cream

It's nearly time for National Irish Coffee day, falling this weekend, so why not treat yourself to this beloved warm cocktail? Traditionally it's made with Irish whiskey, coffee, and whipped cream, though there's plenty of room for making this classic recipe your own as well if you fancy something a little different.

One great suggestion for a modern twist on this classic cocktail comes from Bridget Albert, Senior Director of External Communications & Host of the Served Up Podcast at Southern Glazer's. Her Café Dublin recipe keeps the Irish whiskey, freshly brewed coffee, and whipped cream, but also includes a couple of creative additions to amp up the flavor. There's the use of a sugar cube soaked with Peychaud’s Bitters to give a spicy, cinnamon note to the drink as well as sweetness, and my favorite addition: an ounce of ginger flavored whiskey. Ginger is such a great bold flavor, that adds some heat and richness that matches great with the bitterness of the coffee and the warming spicy flavors of the whiskey.

In craft beer, the IPA is still king
We can't give up the hops
Glass of beer

Budweiser may claim to be the king of beers, but in the craft circuit, IPA occupies the throne. The Lebron James of beer styles, the India Pale Ale has both physical power and staying power. Craft enthusiasts have long enjoyed IPAs thanks to their many sub-styles, creative use of unique hop combinations, and interesting aromatics and flavors.

According to the latest news, not much has changed. As Brewbound reports, the style rose nearly 2% in sales in 2024 and sold something to the tune of $2.28 billion that year, all told. That's an impressive feat, especially for a craft beer movement that's presently looking itself in the mirror. With so many other options out there, not to mention a rise in popularity and low-to-no ABV drinks, it hasn't been an easy stretch for beer makers.
