Faire La Fête the Official Bubbly of Mardi Gras — “The Original Champagne”

Posted by luxebeat | Cocktails, Entertaining, Featured, Holidays |

Faire La Fête Brut, the most exciting Champagne-alternative that you’ve never heard of (yet) and the only sparkling wine with historical roots in the world’s original Mardi Gras festival—coming up on February 25th. Master Sommeliers from around the country have been quietly touting Faire La Fête’s complex character and delicate mousse, but all wine lovers can appreciate its quality/price ratio: For under $20 (SRP $19), this stands up with the best of your average Champagne—often outperforming its $50+ peers. That’s likely because, at a mere six grams per liter, Faire La Fête has 30 percent less residual sugar than the leading Champagne brands....

The Wicked Rabbit: Go Down The Rabbit Hole At This Omaha Speakeasy

Posted by Christine Sallas | Cocktails, Columns, Editor's Picks, Music & Movement, United States, Wine & Spirits |

When most people think of a speakeasy, the images that come to mind are often dark alleyways, a secret entrance, and some 1920s style vintage cocktails! And even for modern-day speakeasies, that’s not too far off the mark. Speakeasies can still be found all over the United States; they remain popular going-out destinations for tourists and locals alike. Even in the sleepy, friendly mid-western states, there are speakeasies galore for you to visit! My favorite new bar is a hidden speakeasy in Omaha, Nebraska called ‘The Wicked Rabbit.’ The vibe is amazing, the drinks are delicious, and the whole...

Stirring Sustainable Cocktails in Punta Cana

Posted by Tim Cotroneo | Caribbean, Cocktails, Featured, Travel |

You would think that the Westin Puntacana’s decision to say no to plastic straws flies in the face of a better bottom line. The truth is, the ownership, staff and hotel guests see this action as another positive chapter in the resort’s long running commitment toward a cleaner environment. Over 45 years ago, Puntacana Resort & Club began practicing sustainable development before the term even existed. Preserving their pristine ocean, beaches, and overall ecosystem has long been a Puntacana Resort cornerstone. Pushing back against plastic’s negative impact on the amenity that Punta Cana guests love most, makes this resort’s...
