Silly thing, you though seasonal candy went out of vogue with the pumpkins and costumes, dintcha? Well, leave it to Hershey’s to marry two classics holiday sweets: Candy canes and chocolate. Sweet white chocolate with crunchy bits of minty candy canes, you say? Tgubbins at news you can eat kisses and tells:

“they’re unique enough that it’s easy to keep eating them, possibly even beyond the point where you still like them. but - and let me state the obvious here - they’re good 4 people who like mint.”

 But do they freshen your breath?

Sure, cold beer is the cure for summer heat. But if you’re looking for something more sophisticated, nothing cools like a cucumber cocktail. Liquor Snob steals borrows this refreshing cocktail recipe from the New York Times. With lime and mint, it’s much like a mojito, the “it” drink of a few years back, but the cucumber gives it that extra “aaahhh.” Kind of like spa water. With booze.

The recipe calls for either vodka or gin (specifically Hendricks). If gin’s not your thing, pump up the cucumber power by making your own cucumber vodka infusion. What could be cooler?
