The Terminator (Drink Infographic)
We dubbed this drink The Terminator for 2 specific reasons; today is National Rum Day, so we wanted to create a drink that embodied the last relaxing bit of summer we have left. Ingredients that would be as refreshing alone as they would be together. After doing some research, we stumbled upon a mixologist who would make these for him and his colleagues after a long night tending behind the bar. According to BACARDI mixologist, David Cordoba, “This Rum ‘n’ Coke Float is the classic barman’s reward. At the end of a long night mixing drinks at the Tonic Bar in Edinburgh, David and his colleagues would kick back with this luxurious treat made with BACARDI® Superior Rum, Coke and a healthy dollop of vanilla ice cream.” The perfect end all summertime BBQ/rooftop/patio, F*ck winter cocktail. Being that it’s Roosevelt of the Year nominee, James Cameron’s, birthday, we named it after one of his most acclaimed movies. The Terminator is easy to make, and easy going down, but after a few, just like Arnold, it will search and destroy you. Having a pillow or hammock within reaching distance is strongly recommended.

New York City’s 5 Swankiest (Open To The Public) Roof Top Pools You Should Visit Before Summer Is Over
Last night we grabbed drinks at Wicked Wolf with the founder Hoboken’s wildly popular Back To Hoboken Bar Crawl and we couldn’t figure out why Hoboken doesn’t have a swanky roof top pool lounge. Is it too much to ask for a place where people who don’t head to Manasquan every summer weekend can stop by to have a few drinks, catch some rays and take a dip? Hoboken may be a bust but there are plenty of swanky pool lounges in New York City. Our favorite is the Gansevoort Park Avenue Hotel roof top, you’ll recall our epic night with Microsoft and Maxim a few weeks back, but there are also five more gems that are open to the public you should check out before the summer is over.

The Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw Metlife Stadium Tailgate [165 Photos]
Last summer Kenny Chesney did something no one believed was possible. A country act selling out Metlife Stadium in New Jersey. Not only did the stadium sell out but it was the largest country show in the history of the Garden State. Not bad for a cowboy hat wearing singer in a state where EDM reigns supreme. Saturday marked Chesney’s victory lap for the tri-state (he recently played a free show on the beach in Wildwood) and he brought along two heavy hitters, Tim McGraw and Jake Owen, to up the ante. For party bros in cut off t-shirts & cowboy hats and beautiful women in sundresses & cowboy boots the show at Metlife – or the tailgate to be exact – was the peak of summer. The concert itself is a great experience but the tailgate is where the magic happens. If you could’t make it out to enjoy summer drinks in beautiful 82 degree sun we’ve got you covered. Check out 136 awesome photos from Saturday’s Kenny Chesney Metlife tailgate.
