We often write about classic cocktails. The problem with this is the fact that we end up writing about iconic, well-known drinks over and over again. We’re talking about the likes of the Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Martini, and Daiquiri. And while we love these timeless drinks, this means some other classic drinks don’t get the respect their due. So, to remedy this, we’ve decided to highlight a lesser-known drink that absolutely should get the same amount of attention as the aforementioned cocktails. We’re talking about the La Louisiane.

If you're looking for a smooth, dark spirit with a complex flavor profile, it's hard to do better than cognac.

For many East Coasters, it wouldn’t be summertime without a trip to the shore. With roughly 130 miles of coastline, the Jersey Shore is known for sandy beaches, boardwalks, one iconic MTV series, and, of course, its many bars. And while things tend to be more tame than they were on “Jersey Shore,” N.J.’s dozens of small beach towns have cultivated their own distinct bar scenes and the signature drinks to match — so much so that a trip down the shore (DTS) just wouldn’t be complete without them.

In 2016, “Big Sam” Allardyce, with his blue-collar charm and Meatloaf-ish looks, was supposed to be the England national soccer team’s everyman hero — a player’s manager straight from central casting, finally fit to lead the “Three Lions” on to ultimate victory since god knows when. But after only one match and two months at the helm, the lunch pail gaffer got himself quagmired in a sting scandal orchestrated by The Telegraph, caught on tape advising on how to illicitly rig player transfers. And while a crushing blow to England’s pride, there was something odd about the accompanying undercover video that set the internet into a frenzy.
