SXLiquors, a unique startup company headquartered in Fort Lauderdale and launched in Miami, is expanding rapidly across Florida and plans to enter additional states and select international markets in the coming months. The company this week dramatically expanded its footprint from 80 leading restaurants, nightclubs and liquor stores in South Florida to nearly 1,000 such distribution points all across the state.
SXLiquors, which launched in June 2011 and delivers sexy drinks and cocktails that strongly resonate with women and other discerning drinkers, did so well in the limited South Florida market in which it was tested that Miami-based Southern Wine and Spirits fast-tracked the brand for mass distribution throughout the state. Within the past two weeks, SXLiquors was rolled out in Tampa, Jacksonville, Miami and Orlando. Read the rest of this entry »

As I mentioned in an earlier post, like millions of people around the globe my New Year’s resolution was to lose a bit of weight this year. Improving a fitness regime or weight loss is the number one New Year’s resolution. Unlike past years I have stuck to my guns it is almost February and I am still exercising and eating well. To date I am down 10 pounds and slowly losing the beer gut. Sadly this regime has me sans beer. 
The Upper East Side’s bar scene will never be the same, all thanks to the opening of Jbird Cocktails, a sleek enclave serving up artisanal cocktails and a menu of approachable fare to keep guests for dinner. Owners Jamie Hinojos and Joshua Kaiser opened the first outpost of Jbird in Midtown in August 2010 and decided that it was time to fill the void by bringing the cocktail scene to the Upper East Side.

Those of you that follow this site know that we have been working with Jim Beam for the past few months. I want to personally thank Jim Beam for including us in their Bold Choices promotion. I have found myself making more Bold Choices lately and these choices are bringing me to some wonderful places.
The masses have spoken. Two weeks ago I told you folks about Jim Beam’s bold choices promotion. Jim Beam is celebrating Bold Choices and the people that make them. In an era of cautiousness, bold behavior can be hard to find. So in what I feel is an effort to spice things up a bit, Jim Beam has taken to the web to find some “bold bloggers”. They approached me and asked about some bold choices and adventures I have always wanted to accomplish.

I wanted follow up on the post last week about what Jim Beam Devil’s Cut was doing over the weekend on Twitter.
I have been going a bit nutty with the Jim Beam Devil’s Cut posts these days but I absolutely love this bourbon. Devil’s Cut uses a process that extracts the very last drops of bourbon out of the oak barrels. This produces a rich oaky bourbon with wonderful vanilla undertones. It is those undertones that got me thinking.
It is that time of year again. The northern winds are starting to blow and the days get darker and colder. Unless you are drinking under a bridge or participating in Occupy Wall Street drinking outdoors will soon be a distant memory. As pigskins get snapped and leaf blowers get revved we find ourselves looking for alehouses and taverns to take refuse in. 
I don’t have the whole story just yet but there is something going on at Jim Beam. Jim Beam has been promoting their new Devil’s Cut bourbon heavily since it’s release. This is a very cool new product.
Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a holiday widely celebrated across Mexico and Latin America honoring the lives of friends and relatives who have passed, is gaining immense popularity in the United States. Each November 2nd, crowds dress in colorful costumes, don skeleton-like makeup, parade through the streets and erect decorative altars in remembrance of the dearly departed. The traditions of Day of the Dead are far and wide: pottery calaveras (Spanish for skulls) are painted bright colors, graves are adorned with yellow marigolds and glasses of Mexico’s national drink, tequila, are raised in celebration.

So drink up, and remember, there’s nothing to be afraid of…except for running out of Cockspur.
