Don’t Retire the Party: Win a Trip to Palm Springs with Lipton Hard Iced Tea

By | Mixology News

It’s no secret that baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) and millennials (born between 1981 and 1996) have found plenty to disagree on—whether it’s how much to spend on a pet or whether to actually talk to your neighbors.

But if there’s one thing these two generations can agree on, it’s that Palm Springs is the ultimate vacation spot. Long known as a retirement town with an average age of 57, Palm Springs has also become a favorite among millennials for its rooftop parties, poolside hangs, and iconic bachelor(ette) weekends. In other words, it’s the perfect place for a cross-generational party.

That’s why Lipton Hard Iced Tea is inviting Boomers and Millennials to unite over their shared love of good vibes and bold tea—with a chance to win a trip to Palm Springs.

From June 10 through June 17, fans can enter by following Lipton Hard Tea on Instagram and tagging their favorite party partner from another generation (Boomers tag Millennials, Millennials tag Boomers—21+ Gen Z is welcome too!) using the hashtag #DontRetireTheParty

To show how it’s done, Lipton is teaming up with the Retirement House—the internet-famous “grandfluencers” redefining what senior living looks like—and comedian Cruz Corral, known for his hilarious takes on generational workplace culture. Together, they’re proving that when Boomers and Millennials join forces, the vibes are unbeatable.

“Some things are truly timeless – like bold flavors, good company, and a party done right,” said Lisa Texido, Brand Director, Lipton Hard Iced Tea. “This National Iced Tea Day, we want to celebrate how tea brings people of all generations together, this time with a party-loving twist of Lipton Hard Iced Tea.”

So whether you’re a Boomer who invented the house party or a Millennial who never misses a rooftop kickback, grab a can, tag your favorite party buddy, and toast to a summer that proves one thing loud and clear: Don’t retire the party!

“A toast to journeys untaken and friendships rekindled.”

“The *Rite of Spring* is an evocative cocktail that embodies the spirit of enduring friendships and unfulfilled dreams. Inspired by the song by Angels and Airwaves, this drink captures the essence of life’s unexpected turns and the timeless bonds that persist despite them. Crafted by a San Francisco bartender who cherishes both the vibrant traditions of his hometown and the alluring mystique of Japan, this cocktail is a blend of cultures and narratives. 

At its heart, the *Rite of Spring* features Breckenridge Bourbon Whiskey, a smooth and rich foundation that nods to Colorado’s rugged landscapes and the bartender’s best friend’s roots. Fernet Hunter Yōtei adds a layer of complexity with its Japanese flair, symbolizing the dream of exploring new horizons. The Empirical Ayuuk imparts a smoky, earthy note, paying homage to the “mountain language” and the deep connections that transcend distances. A touch of Kyoto Ki No Bai adds a delicate sweetness, tying together the harmony of the ingredients. Finally, the Saline enhances the flavors, offering a subtle nod to the bittersweet nature of life’s choices.

Romer House Waikīkī, Oʻahu’s Only Adults-Only Hotel, Welcomes Beloved Honolulu Cocktail Bar, The Lei Stand

By | Mixology News

Romer House Waikīkī—the island’s only adults-only hotel—adds a final flourish to its clubhouse-style oasis with the arrival of The Lei Stand, Honolulu’s treasured cocktail bar, now open on property.

Photos by Brooke Fitts

Launched in tandem with Hawaiʻi’s iconic “May Day is Lei Day” celebration, the opening honored the lei as a timeless symbol of love, aloha, and community.

After debuting in June 2024, Romer House quickly became a neighborhood hub where local character, mid-century charm, and laid-back luxury meet. Now, with The Lei Stand taking up residence, the hotel is fully realized as a grown-up escape with soul. More than just a bar, The Lei Stand Waikīkī redefines what a hotel lounge can be—an intimate destination for travelers and locals alike to gather, sip, and celebrate under the spirit of aloha.

Founded in 2022 by Hawai‘i-born Emmy-winning producer Ryan Kalei Tsuji and former Universal Music Group brand strategist Tara Kanani Shimooka, The Lei Stand was created by friends, for friends. Its move from Chinatown to Waikīkī brings beloved cocktails and a tight-knit community vibe to an exciting new chapter.

“With an emphasis on highlighting local neighborhoods and paying homage to Hawai‘i’s beloved customs, the reopening of The Lei Stand at O‘ahu’s first-ever adults-only hotel is the perfect alignment of both brands. We couldn’t be more excited to invite our friends and visitors to ‘Get Lei’d in Waikīkī.” shares co-founder Tara Kanani Shimooka.

“The Lei Stand is more than just a bar; it’s a celebration of Hawai’i’s rich traditions and vibrant future. While our story will always be connected to Chinatown, we’re excited to embark on this next phase with the amazing team at Romer House Waikīkī.” adds co-founder, Ryan Kalei Tsuji.

Inside, the reimagined bar pays tribute to Chinatown’s iconic lei shops with a floral entry arch, lush tropical foliage, and glowing neon. Guests can settle in at the bar or sprawl into cozy lounge seating, all wrapped in a warm, after-hours island vibe.

Behind the bar? Familiar faces—and fresh leis crafted by local artisans, available for purchase with every pour. Summer programming brings The Lei Stand’s signature magic to Waikīkī, including lei-making workshops, live DJ sets, and spontaneous singalongs. Some traditions are too good to change, and the bar continues to serve the best lei in town.

Open to walk-ins, with priority access for Romer House guests, The Lei Stand Waikīkī invites everyone to drink, dance, and unwind.

What’s on the Menu?

Drinks are playfully organized by:

  • Blooms (cocktails)
  • Bark (beer & a shot)
  • Hop Vine (craft brews)
  • Grape Vine (wine)

Signature cocktails include:

  • Soup Soup – a clarified coconut-tequila mix kissed with pineapple, falernum, and absinthe
  • Clifton’s Curse – a tiki-inspired blend of local rum, house orgeat, amaro, cognac & sherry, in honor of the co-founder’s father

Pupus range from nostalgic to playful, including:

  • House Chex Mix
  • Edamame hummus with taro chips
  • House “crack dip”

Guests can also explore

  • 855-ALOHA: Romer House’s indoor-outdoor restaurant offering bold local flavors with a wink. Think grilled chicken teriyaki, braised pork belly, and butterfish reimagined with modern flair. Inspired by Hawaiʻi’s iconic phone booths and neighborhood nostalgia, the space features murals by local artist Solario and lush Japanese-inspired design elements. A new menu launches in early June.
  • The Backyard: A tropical retreat tucked behind carved masks and native palms. Features include a heated wading pool, daybed cabanas, and a bar slinging poke bowls, canned sake, local beer, and a spirit-free spritz bar. Murals by artist Cory Kamehanaokalā evoke a sense of place and peace.

“We are honored to be a part of The Lei Stand’s story, as we welcome a neighborhood favorite bar to Romer House Waikīkī. Expanding the guest experience with local authenticity, the two brands have the same culturally conscious values, and share a commitment to Hawaiian traditions and joyous celebrations.” says Romer Houses’ Mayor of the Block, Ramona Sidlo.

With three distinct spaces to drink, dine, and unwind, plus cultural programming like floating sound baths and sunset hula classes, Romer House Waikīkī offers the ultimate kid-free island escape—just steps from Kuhio Avenue and Waikīkī Beach.

“Inspired by the rich history of Plymouth Gin, I set out to craft a cocktail that would pay tribute to the distillery’s legacy and reflect its iconic colors. I’m thrilled to collaborate with Chilled 100 on the Plymouth Gin Project, creating a unique cocktail with the exceptional @plymouthgin just in time for World Gin Day! My goal was to design a cocktail that not only honors the brand’s storied past but also incorporates ingredients that perfectly complement the gin, resulting in a refreshing drink to enjoy in the warmth of June.”

“Created especially for World Gin Day, Verdine Dream is a lush, garden-inspired frozen cocktail. The name nods to its verdant ingredients—mint, matcha, chartreuse, and the beautiful botanicals used in Plymouth Gin and a dreamy, dairy-free whipped topping. This frozen cocktail pairs perfectly with enjoying warmer weather on a patio with friends.”

“Gin and citrus go hand in hand—so when I saw kumquats, my favorite and sadly underutilized citrus option, at my grocery store, I had to snag some. If you can’t find them, you can substitute tangerines or oranges. The pleasingly peppery notes of Plymouth Gin are complemented by the tangy kumquat. Honey and apricot enrich the earthy and herbal tones of Plymouth Gin, while tart lemon adds a vibrancy to the cocktail, and lifts the coriander and cardamom of the Plymouth. This is a cocktail that I would indulge in at any time of day. But I believe it’s best suited for the Golden Hour—that last hour before the sun has fully set. An hour to say goodbye to the day and welcome what the night has in store.”

“The earthiness of Plymouth Gin is one of many flavor notes that make it a unique ingredient for delicious cocktails. A less juniper-forward gin with pops of citrus makes Plymouth an amazing bedfellow to other earthy/root botanical spirits. I’ve created a White Negroni-esque cocktail that doubles down on earthiness, bringing the flavors and scents of freshly fallen rain on dry rock and soil- a uniquely familiar experience to those who live in the desert. Complementing Plymouth Gin are Salers Aperitif, and two desert distillates, Mezcal and Sotol. A chamomile-infused Cocchi Americano rounds out the experience with a warming lemon-tea component that’s perfect for porch sipping during a crimson sunset of the Southwest.”

Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa Unveils Elevated New Gaming, Dining, and Nightlife Experiences

By | Mixology News

Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa has introduced a range of elevated new experiences across gaming, dining, and nightlife, reaffirming its place as a premier destination in American hospitality.

The all-new 25,000-square-foot gaming floor boasts 51 tables, five private gaming salons, a dedicated Asian gaming section, and an exclusive high-limit area with its own private bar. Guests can try their luck at classics like Pai Gow Poker, Tiles, and multiple variations of Baccarat, all while enjoying top-tier service from Borgata’s multilingual host team. New additions also include Noodles, a Pan-Asian restaurant serving bold interpretations of timeless dishes, and a refreshed B Bar, now reimagined as the lively hub of the casino floor.

“With these best-in-class offerings and amenities, we are once again redefining the pinnacle of high-end gaming in Atlantic City,” said Niklas Rytterstrom, President & COO of Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa.

“Every detail of the experience has been thoughtfully curated to ensure our guests feel welcomed, celebrated and immersed in unparalleled experiences.”

Asian-Inspired Elegance Defines Borgata’s New Gaming Experience

Borgata’s expanded Asian gaming floor, envisioned by the acclaimed KNA Design, delivers an immersive blend of luxury and cultural influence. Drawing from a rich tapestry of Asian traditions, the space marries modern sophistication with timeless design elements to create a refined sense of escape. A dynamic palette of bold reds and golds is balanced by soft taupe, ivory, and gray hues—evoking both prosperity and serenity. The result is a visually stunning environment that feels both exclusive and inviting.

“From lucky colors and patterns, symbolic imagery for good fortune and refined woodworking and craftsmanship, our design team took every element into consideration in delivering on the splendor our guests have come to expect,” Rytterstrom said.

Highlights include

  • High-limit Gaming and Bar: A stylish high-limit gaming space offers five private salons designed for exclusivity and personalization. A distinguished addition to Atlantic City, Borgata’s new high-limit bar features rare liquors from around the world, including Shibui 23 and Yamazaki 18.
  • Multilingual Host Team: A team of multilingual Borgata hosts who speak Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese), Vietnamese and Korean, among other languages, provides exceptional service from the moment of arrival to the time of departure.
  • Enhanced Gaming Experiences:  Ensuring a smooth and convenient experience, Borgata has introduced two new amenities: electronic credit provides guests the ability to redeem funds directly at the table for an uninterrupted gaming experience; wireless device charging at the gaming tables ensures guests never have to worry about where they will plug in next.

Beloved Noodles Brings Its Signature Flavors to the East Coast

A highlight of Borgata’s reimagined Asian gaming experience is the debut of Noodles, the beloved Las Vegas dining concept making its East Coast debut. Originally a staple at Bellagio, Noodles takes guests on a vibrant culinary tour of Asia, featuring house-made noodles, dim sum, BBQ, seafood, and flavorful vegetable dishes—all rooted in authenticity. Reflecting the noodle’s cultural symbolism of longevity and prosperity, these themes echo throughout the restaurant’s design—from the flowing ceiling contours to intricate flooring patterns.

The space strikes a balance between serenity and sophistication, incorporating traditional artistry with modern elegance. Guests are welcomed by an entryway lined with antique Qing Dynasty rice wine jars, setting a tone of heritage and refinement. Dining tables highlight the beauty of traditional Asian woodworking, while an eight-seat bar nods to the auspicious meaning of the number eight in Asian culture, symbolizing good fortune.

B Bar Returns with a Bold New Look at the Heart of the Casino

At the center of Borgata’s vibrant gaming floor, the newly reimagined B Bar sets a new standard for refined social spaces. Inspired by the artistry of Italian design, the space strikes a balance between sophistication and adaptability, making it a go-to destination for both relaxation and excitement. The signature circular bar anchors the room, inviting guests to unwind with music, catch the game on oversized screens, sip on inventive Asian-inspired cocktails like the Luminous Lemonade and Lychee Kiss, or try their hand at video poker—all without leaving the action.
