The Basque Country wine Txakolina, also known as T

The Basque Country wine Txakolina, also known as Txakoli and Chacolí, was historically a farm wine produced for simple enjoyment at home and unfamiliar beyond Spain. However, as delicious regional wines tend to do, in recent years the typically white, often naturally effervescent wine grew into a global delight. Made by small-scale producers in three established Txakolina appellations, the crisp, easy-drinking wine can cut through even the hottest of days. Head to the link in our bio for some summery-ready bottles to try.

Combining rum, strawberry-infused Fernet, coconut

Combining rum, strawberry-infused Fernet, coconut liqueur, and lime juice, this summery cocktail is “an herbal Strawberry Daiquiri meets Miami Vice,” says @BarterNShake VP of Beverage, Jason Asher (@asher52). Check out his recipe via the link in our bio.🍓
