The Garibaldi, one of summer's hottest drinks, is a sophisticated Italian cocktail. Follow our super simple recipe and craft a refreshing Garibaldi at home. When we watched Garibaldi cocktails fly through the bar at Loup-Garou, a bustling natural wine bar in Vienna's 7th district, it was a matter of mere minutes before we ordered the drink ourselves. After taking our first sips, it was inevitable that we would soon craft the delightful summer sipper at home.

Las Vegas is just about four months away from getting its first Bojangles restaurant, which will open in the southwest valley at Blue Diamond Road and Rainbow Boulevard. That means Las Vegans will be getting their first taste of the chain’s addictive crispy fried chicken, buttery biscuits (that take 49 steps to make) and legendary sweet tea steeped the old fashioned way.

In the United States, there’s no liquor trendier than tequila. According to The Spirits Business (TSB), agave-based spirits overtook American whiskey value-wise in 2022 and surpassed it in terms of volume the next year.

As revealed by the Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S. (DISCUS), tequila and mezcal sold 31.6 million cases combined last year — only a 5.7 percent volume increase year-over-year. Value grew as well, though only by 7.9 percent to reach a combined $6.5 billion. In such a flourishing category, it’s only natural that some brands continue to outperform others.

Living in the area of Wood Dale, I am always on the hunt to try somewhere local and support them. I remember trying Elio Pizza several years ago and I was not really impressed with the food. However, my biggest complaint was the atmosphere created by the employees. My first interaction felt very cliquey, with preferential treatment given to people they knew instead of new customers.
