Tito's Vodka Hosts Guitar Events

Filed under: Spirits

Preparing for a rocking summer, Tito's Handmade Vodka has partnered with Gibson Guitar and the Archiving and Preservation Programs of the GRAMMY Foundation on a series of music events. In addition to selling customized Tito's-branded Epiphone guitars, Tito's will be hosting Tito's Handmade Session events in Gibson Guitar showrooms around the country.

The first stop is Beverly Hills on June 30 where JIVE recording artist Alex Boyd will be in the house to help celebrate. Attendees will be encouraged to donate $10 or more to the GRAMMY Foundation's Archiving and Preservation Programs and Apogee Digital will have a recording station set up for attendees to take a stab at creating their own music to take home on a USB thumb drive. There will also be cocktails made with Tito's Handmade Vodka and DRY Soda.

The black Tito's Epiphone guitar sells for $299 and is available on the Tito's website.

Dry Soda

Filed under: Dining

Dry Soda is a soda for foodies, the carbonated equivalent of a fine wine. Or, at least, it wants to be. The all-natural, lightly sweetened sodas come in unique flavors that are meant to compliment foods. There are four flavors, Kumquat, Lavender, Lemongrass and Rhubarb. Suggested pairings include:

Kumquat -- clean citrusy flavor with a high acidity. Versatile and pairs well with salmon, white fish, risotto, duck, sweet leafy greens and oysters.
Lavender -- lively with a lavender flavor and low acidity. Pairs well with cheeses, pork, desserts and chocolate.
Rhubarb -- fruity and tart with a high acidity and tartness. Bold, bright flavor pairs well with veal, cassoulet, red meats (including hamburgers) and winter vegetables.
Lemongrass -- bright, floral and grassy, with a medium acidity. Pairs well with Asian-inspired foods, spicy dishes, sushi, goat cheese and asparagus.

The sodas range from 50-70 calories per bottle, so they could serve as an alternative to wine for those who want to watch their calories as well as their alcohol intake. Price: $25 per dozen.
