🎶 History IS Happening: Toasting NYC’s Epic Milestones & Events with An Ultimate 2-Ingredient Drink 🌌🏆
Dispatch from Tonya Hopkins, AKA The Food (& DRINKs!) Griot, reporting live from the intersection of spirited storytelling, special sippers, and — surprisingly for me — SPORTS scoop — all in “the city”! 🎙️🥃
Cosmic timing is an understatement. 🌌🗽 A weekend like the one we just had is pure proof that 🎶 'History IS happening — in the greatest city in the world!' 🎵 — ⚡️Newsflash ⚡️: NYC is Celebration Central right now—as it oft is — and as it should be! 🏙️👑
Right when I coined this dynamic duo as 'NYC’s Best 2-Ingredient Drink,' the city gave us a million more reasons to raise our glasses high to the NYC skyline! 🥂🏙️ (And yes, you read that right—this culinary focused Griot’s chiming in on sports scoop!)

NYC’s celebrating a LOT, and all at once: It’s an understatement to say sports fans had an epic Saturday night in the city — with team USA winning the very first World Cup match that kicked off in the NYC/NJ metro … followed by the Knicks breaking their 53-year title drought 🙌🏾 🙌🏾 🏆🧡💙👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 —with an epic win being dubbed the ultimate drought-breaker, consider this drink the ultimate thirst-quencher for the festivities to follow!
All that amidst weekend waves of PRIDE 🏳️🌈 & Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 Day Parades; on Sat & Sun, preceded by 🖤 Loving Day 🤍💍 last Friday; …
And there’s so much more excitement ahead: …
Thursday's historic “Canyon of Heroes” ticker-tape parade to crown our hard-won champions in glory! 🎉🏙️💃🎸; 🗽🌺
.. Followed by a federal holiday on Friday for 🌺 Juneteenth ❤️✊🏾 …
+ A barely known but BIG food history holiday this Saturday (June 20th). Stay tuned for that deeper dive — or peep my TFG Culinary Calendar via the Linktree right now! ..
Fast forward of course to America’s 250th 🇺🇸 (+ we can’t forget NYC’s 400th!) Historic Anniversaries ⛵ – Yup — NYC’s ahead of the rest of America by 150 yrs?! That's something else to sip about!…
+ a few other Freedom themed holidays on the horizon that are anchored to NY and deserve a little or a lot more shine (e.g. July 5th)…
🇲🇽🤝🇻🇨 The Story Behind the Sip: A Oaxacan Craft Spirit and a St. Vincentian Elixir Walk into a Bar...
Where else would Oaxacan + St. Vincentian craft concoctions combine to yield such shareable, sippable magic? Here in NYC of course– true to our tradition – where culture & creativity have always come together: And exactly where Eléctrico’s award-winning Lemongrass Mezcal Artesanal first met an amazing small batch ginger beer (with a scotch-bonnet bite!) at @67orange and blended beautifully to beget what I've since started calling “NYC’s BEST 2 Ingredient Drink” ---- delivering the deep, distinct dimensions of a world-class spirits maker & master mixologist who spent serious time to make it for you—and they DID!—not long before your bottles are opened.
No corner cutting. No chemicalization. With ‘time’ itself (+ a dash of time travel) being ingredients in each - together firing up this Slammin' Sipping Sensation' for celebrating a remarkable season filled with refreshing flavor! 🌪️🌾🫚⚡️🌶️ 👅💥
Some nights call for better ingredients indeed. 💎🔥 Here in Celebration Central, we've only just begun—so sync up with us and go with the Uncle Waithley's + Eléctrico flow.
