Teremana Tequila

With the arrival of the warmer weather, it’s time to shift gears for your cocktails: summer typically brings lighter, longer drinks which are refreshing and lower ABV, perfect for sipping on a sunny afternoon. That’s the case with the iconic tequila cocktail, the Paloma. And as today is World Paloma Day, it’s the perfect excuse to whip up one of these easy to make yet delicious drinks.

Below we’ve got three variations on the Paloma from the brand Teremana Tequila, making use of bright flavors like ginger beer and watermelon in addition to the essential tequila and grapefruit juice. There’s even a batched recipe if you fancy whipping up a round of Palomas for a crowd.

Oskar Blues dresses up its beer in denim for the summer

A timeless look for some classic ales

Dale's Denim Pale.

Colorado brewery Oskar Blues is bringing back a limited-time favorite with the return of the Denim Dale's line. The release features a couple of flagship beers treated to cans inspired by your favorite pair of jeans. The light summer beers are available now through Labor Day Weekend.

"Last year’s denim beer case was a statement of rebellious independence – and people got it. This year, we wanted to take it even further,” says Aaron Baker, Oskar Blues brand director. “So we wrapped the can itself in denim. It’s a celebration of individuality, utility, and American grit – all things denim and Dale’s share at their core. Whether you’re cracking one open at a dive bar or tossing it in your cooler for a weekend outside, this is a beer that wears its character on its sleeve – or in this case, its can.”
