As serious as Covid-19 is, we like to look at the bright side of things, and the only bright side we can see is that staying at home means more booze. So, as a result, we’ve decided to curate a list of drinks that are sure to have you wishing quarantine lasts for a couple of extra days.

A successful chicken and wine pairing is not only awesome, it’s actually not too tricky to achieve. As a general rule, white meat needs a softer wine that doesn’t drown out the flavors of the dish. White wines work well with chicken, as do softer reds with spicy marinades.

A glass of wine with a delicious seafood lunch or dinner is almost cliché, but we pair the two for a reason. Whether white or red, rosé or brut, the right wine takes your seafood experience to another level. 

Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover looking to brush up on red wine facts or a novice just starting to explore all that red wine has to offer, we’ve got your guide to the different types of red wine.

One of the oldest cocktails, dating back to at least the mid-1800s, the Champagne Cocktail consists of a sugar cube douched in aromatic bitters dropped into the base of a glass, over which is poured a small measure of cognac before the glass is topped up with champagne. This is probably the most elegant cocktail in our arsenal.

The Bebbo is a funny-named London dry gin drink that’s very tangy thanks partly to the presence of blood orange juice. The honey syrup’s sweetness gives this cocktail a great sweet & sour kick that isn’t really delivered in many other cocktails. Perfect for enjoying alone or with some friends.

If you’re from California, this cocktail might feel like a long time coming. First came the avocado toast, now we have the avocado cocktail. Hey, we’re not complaining, plus, avocadoes are considered to be a super food…so does that make this drink a super cocktail? Who knows. But what we do know is that the Spicy Mint Avocado Margarita is nothing short of super tasty.

Although flowers and cards are nice, we feel like that after your sweet mama reads her card and smells her flowers, what else is she really to do with the gift? We’re not saying ditch the flowers and cards altogether, but c’mon have some fun with your mama! As a result, we’ve curated a luxurious yet economical list of wines and spirits that are sure to not only impress your birther, but let you both have fun together.
