Coca Cola to Remove the Word "Classic" From Title
Coca-Cola is perhaps the most classic of American drinks, however the company has announced their plan to remove the word "classic" from its name. "Classic" was added over twenty years ago, in 1985, to signify that the brand was making a return to using the original recipe.

Happy Hour: Desmond's Pleasure
If you're a fan of Beefeater, you should definitely get your hands on the brand's latest release, Beefeater 24. The artisan gin, that's made in London, features 12 specially selected botanicals, including a rare Japanese tea and Chinese green tea. The spirit is brewed for 24 hours, hence the name.

I love trying new wine, but sometimes it's intimidating and expensive to pick out a random bottle at the store. One great way to learn about wine is to order interesting varietals while dining out. If you enjoy the wine, make note of the name and label, then look for it at your local wine shop.

When blended together, the sweetness of the peach offsets the subtle heat of the ginger.

Happy Hour: Mai Tai
One of the best seminars I attended at last weekend's Aspen Food & Wine Classic was a cocktail class that focused on tropical cocktails. The lesson was led by Julie Reiner, the owner and bar genius behind such Manhattan hotspots as the Flatiron Lounge, Pegu Club, and the Clover Club.
Julie started off by giving us a primer on one of America's favorite drinking pastimes, the tiki bar.
Can You Identify These Classic Cocktails?
It's Cocktail Week here in San Francisco and after attending several of the events, I can't stop thinking about mojitos, mixology, and Manhattans. Since many of you don't live in the city by the bay, I thought it would be cool for you get in on the fun by taking this classic cocktail quiz.
