White Cargo
Ep 5: Lazy Bartender By Drinksdirect.NG
Absolutely strange, yet weirdly compelling
The white Cargo is a sumptuous, decadent take on a cocktail. The drink is sweeter than sweet, yet with a weird, herbal undertone. It’s a cocktail that reminds us about our early ice cream-licking days before we hit the legal age to consume alcohol, way before the Instagram days. It’s totally unnecessary, yet here we are writing about it almost a century on from when it was first published in Judge Jr’s 1927 cocktail book ‘Here’s How.’
INGREDIENTS
- Nutmeg (optional)
DIRECTION
- Add all ingredients to a shaker with plenty of ice and shake until thoroughly mixed. Pour without a strainer.
- Dust some grated nutmeg to garnish.

National Beer Can Appreciation Day
Appreciating Artistry & Talent
Advanced thermodynamics and quantum physics tell us beer cans are more efficient to pick up. But history reminds us again today it wasn’t always that way from the inception of Beer drinking. If we don’t remember where we’re from, how will we know where we’re going?
National Beer Can Appreciation Day is here to remind you of the artistry and talent that goes into those simple aluminium cans that hold this precious elixir of life.
History of National Beer Can Appreciation Day
Beer has been one of the staples of health and diet for thousands of years, and there are those who say that access to Beer is one of the reasons that the slaves of Egypt were able to build those huge pyramids. The ability to preserve calories and not rot cannot be underestimated! While back then the beverage was held in clay vessels, the container of choice today is the aluminium can. This tradition was first started in 1935, and on the heels of it came a never-ending parade of varieties of labelling.
How to celebrate National Beer Can Appreciation Day
- Buy beer: Your appreciation starts simply with a visit to your best drinks store OnlineDrinksdirect.NG
- Marvel at those beautiful beer can containers: the shape, the contours, and all those numbers stamped on the bottom, a close look will tell you that labelling is serious business.
- Drink with friends: Enjoy the wonders of canned Beer with fellow friends who appreciates the artistry and talents that goes into making such magic.

Jack & Cola
Ep 1: Lazy Bartender By Drinksdirect.NG
A Lemmy
The Jack and Coke, aka Whiskey and Coke, is a quick and dirty cocktail that is considered by some to be low brow. Especially popular in the American South, this cocktail is a descendent of the historic Rum and coke and is mainly referred to as a highball cocktail. With its great bubbly and refreshing taste, it’s a hit with young drinkers because the taste of the whiskey gets diluted in ten ounces of cola. This cocktail gives you the alcoholic kick without an overwhelming amount of whiskey flavour.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces (¼ cup) Jack Daniels whiskey
- 4 ounces (½ cup) cola
- 1 lemon wedge (optional)
Instructions
- Add the Jack Daniels whiskey and ice to a glass and stir to combine.
- Top with the cola. Squeeze in the juice from the lemon wedge and serve. Garnish with additional lemon wedges or wheels.
