The sports world is gearing up for another big event as the stars of the tennis world converge on New York, as the U.S. Open is set to begin next week. To celebrate, renowned vodka brand Grey Goose is teaming up with tennis star Frances Tiafoe and is launching a signature cocktail in honor of the event.

Grey Goose is known for its partnerships with celebrities, and Tiafoe is known for his fun style and sartorial elegance both on and off the court, so it makes for a natural partnership. “For me, style has always been another way to bring an upbeat energy to the court and have fun with it,” said Tiafoe. “Grey Goose is all about bringing that same energy to the U.S. Open, and any fan of the tournament knows how iconic the Honey Deuce is. We had so much fun making this campaign and I’m excited to celebrate this U.S. Open season with Grey Goose.”

The Apple Jack cocktail is the 2-ingredient drink perfect for fall
This autumn cocktail is a must-have for whiskey and apple fans
Apple Jack

There are a few things synonymous with fall. This includes warm sweaters, famous pumpkin spice, and apples. The orchard fruit is used in almost every dessert dish and drink from September through the holidays. There’s apple cider (hot and spiced or cold), apple brandy, and of course, apple-centric cocktails. The latter is what we’re most interested in today.

And since summer was tiring, we’re not interested in mixing up any elaborate cocktails this fall. That’s why we love the Apple Jack cocktail. There aren’t many autumnal seasonal drinks simpler than this two-ingredient cocktail. To make it, all you need to apple juice and Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey. That’s it.

Before vitamins were infused into nearly everything we eat, Scurvy was a constant threat. Particularly if you were on a long-distance voyage across open waters. So, before your daily chewable was available, sailors turned to a surprising remedy: the gin fizz. That's right, a cocktail. 
A brief history of the gin fizz

While there is no clear date as to when the gin fizz was invented, it is believed that gin dates back to the Middle Ages, when herbal infusions and botanical blends were widely used for their health benefits. In the 1800s, sailors then began mixing this botanical spirit with lime juice in order to prevent scurvy.

With Labor Day in the rear view mirror, fall season is officially upon us. And that means crunchy leaves, pumpkin spice everything, and cozy autumnal drinks. The whiskey brand George Dickel, one of our favorite Tennessee whiskey brands, is getting into the spirit of the season with four cocktail recipes that embrace the tastes of fall.

Naturally there's an apple drink in there, with the Roosevelt combining bourbon and spiced apple juice. There's also a twist on the classic Champagne cocktail which uses whiskey in place of the brandy, a simple rye daiquiri, and an intriguing combination of bourbon, coffee liqueur, and fruity additions which would be a delightful way to toast a Sunday brunch.
