Vine Pair covered the 50 Best bars awards ceremony in Mexico City. Read all about it here. New York City’s Double Chicken Please bar won top honors. The lower east side lounge offers drinkable takes on classic dishes like Cold Pizza, Japanese Noodle, and Waldorf Salad. Hmmm. They also have cocktails on tap.
No bars in our Jet City (Seattle) made the list. Zero.

It’s Spring! How about some iced tea?! Long Island Iced Tea. In which, there is no tea.

Garnish with a lemon wedge.
Serve with a straw.
The black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy is as massive as some 4.3 million suns. TON 618 carries the weight of over 60 billion solar masses.
If Earth was crushed into a black hole, it would be under an inch across.
Thanks NASA!

CBSNews.com reported that, “SunnyD is no longer just a sweet orange beverage sipped by kids while they watch their Saturday morning cartoons. The drink is getting a version with an adult makeover – and SunnyD cocktails will be available later this month. The company announced this week that its new SunnyD Vodka Soda drinks will be available exclusively at Walmart. Last year, Coca-Cola announced it was adding Jack Daniels to its soda to make a Jack and Coke canned beverage. Simply Lemonade also introduce a spiked drink and Pepsi announced boozy versions of Mountain Dew. Some existing ready-to-drink and beer brands also got a revamp, with Sam Adams launching a canned margarita version of its Truly hard seltzers and Budweiser releasing Budlight-branded spiked seltzers.”
Finally, a useful study. Loudwire.com reports, “Your favorite music shouldn’t just sound good, it should also make you feel good. A new study by WithinHealth has revealed which rock and metal bands make people feel the most confident about themselves and their bodies. The five rock artists that make people have the most confident are Queen, Guns N’ Roses, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and Pink Floyd, according to the study, and the five metal artists that make people feel the best are Metallica, Tool, Nirvana, Five Finger Death Punch and Avenged Sevenfold.”
