What R You Drinking? Is in its third season! I know, right? So fast and not enough episodes to quench ya’alls thirst! I’ve come up with a new format to ensure your liberation is served up regularly. Each episode will be dropped Thursdays at 5pm EST – It’s always 5pm somewhere! Each episode will be 5 - 10 minutes long. There may be the special occasion that an episode may go a little bit longer depending on the topic. What R You Drinking? Along with alcohol, news and reviews will feature more content than it did before on non-alcoholic liquids and fun barware, bar stories, and party topics. And the tagline has changed from The pod on alcohol to Come sip with me. What R You Drinking? Available wherever you get your podcasts from.

What are RTDs?RTD = Ready to Drink. These include bevies such as coolers and premixed cocktails such as the caesar or margarita for example. RTDs are a category in the alcohol industry. From 2022 to the present this category has set records worldwide which is why Raquel doing a pod on it. Within the alcohol industry, RTDs have been trending for the last 10 years. However, it’s more popular than ever because drinkers want pre-mixed cocktails rather than buying the ingredients and mixing their own. One RTD has the most impressive momentum...Raquel has a favourite RTD! Is it the impressive one? Listen and find out!

You can have a drink by chewing it! Pop a made-with-alcohol gummy at 5% ABV into your mouth, and voila! In this episode, Raquel spills the gummies on these little wonders that come in not one, not two, but three tantalizing varieties: Made with alcohol Infused with alcohol Alcohol flavouring Historically, gummies have been around since the 19th century, but it wasn't until the late 20th and early 21st centuries that they decided to crash the alcohol party. Blame it on the rise of craft cocktails and the relentless pursuit of creativity in the world of beverages. Gummy cocktails were born out of a desire to make drinking even more fun and unconventional.When it comes to picking your gummy sidekick, you've got options. Whiskey/whisky, rum, vodka gin, or tequila. Whichever is your flavour there's a gummy companion suited to your taste buds.
