Hornitos Halloween

by xoJohn

This post is sponsored by Hornitos® Tequila

Halloween in New York City is always a festive affair. The city hosts a slew of spooky events. The Annual Village Halloween parade is one of many highlights during Halloween. The parade itself is filled with amazing costumes, floats, and great performances. Before heading out to enjoy All Hallows’ Eve frenzy, I plan on hosting a more intimate affair with some close friends. Think of it as the calm before the storm if you will. Amongst my friends, I’m usually the go-to person for creating a delicious and festive drink for everyone. For Halloween, I’ve created the “Scream Cream.” The main ingredient for this beverage is Hornitos® Black Barrel, which is a premium aged Añejo tequila. It’s different than any other tequila I’ve consumed in the past, simply because of the hint of whiskey this flavor carries, and I also enjoy a good whiskey.

Happy Hour x Hornitos Tequila

by xoJohn

This post is sponsored by Hornitos® Tequila

Happy Hour is a good ole tradition where folks hit up their favorite restaurant, bar, stadium, or state/county fair, for affordable alcoholic drinks, such as beer, wine, and cocktails. Sometimes free or discounted Hors d’oeuvres are offered as well. I personally love a good Friday afternoon Happy Hour, especially if my friends get out of work early for Summer Fridays. Since summer is winding down, I wanted to grab onto what’s left of it. During summer and Happy Hour, I often go for refreshing cocktails, nothing too strong or overbearing, because it’s too darn hot in New York City for any strong alcoholic beverages. During my recent vacation in Aruba, I fell in love with coconut water all over again. Imagine lounging on the white sandy beaches of Aruba and a hotel staffer hands you a fresh coconut with a straw in it. So good! To capture that moment, I wanted to create a delicious drink with coconut water and tequila, to make the ultimate Happy Hour cocktail. This cocktail had to be enjoyable enough for me and my friends to keep our minds off the cool fall weather that’s about to hit us on the east coast.

Beautiful weather, great food, and good some elements for a good weekend brunch. Luckily I live in a city where brunch locations are plentiful with many options. My friends and I often search for the best brunch spots New York City has to offer. This includes a great location, preferably on a low traffic street, and great deals, like bottomless drinks.
