Best Zero Calorie Mixers
Just about everyone will admit they could do with cutting down their calorie intake. Unfortunately, those of us with an affinity for potent potables have an extra hurdle to jump through when it comes to dieting. Avoiding calories means avoiding sugar, but unfortunately, the main thing that makes alcoholic beverages worth drinking—you know, the alcohol—is essentially fermented sugar. In other words, it's pretty much impossible to have a zero calorie alcoholic drink.

10 Car Features You'll See in the Future
2018 is an exciting time to be following the world of cars. Many new and experimental technologies are announced practically on a daily basis, and car companies are becoming increasingly close to many technologies we previously considered to be out of reach. Just a few years ago, it wasn't particularly fascinating to hear what technologies car companies were coming up with. Sure, there's a new safety feature here and there, but anything exciting was always speculative, as they simply didn't have the means yet to make vehicles with such advanced features. However, the day has finally come where these dreams become reality.

Best Brandy Cocktail Recipes Everyone Should Know
I love brandy, and I think it's criminally underrated as a sipping spirit as well as an ingredient in cocktails. As the latter, one of brandy's biggest strengths is its surprising adaptability. Its enticing aroma and oaky undertones hold up on their own in strong, simple cocktails like the Sidecar, but it can also be "dressed down," so to speak, to accommodate subtler flavors in softer drinks such as the Brandy Alexander.

How to Purchase the Best Motor Oil for Your Car
Whether it's to take care of a brand new Lexus or to extend the life of your 1998 Toyota, good car maintenance is simply a fact of life. It's important not to overlook any aspect of car care, and that begins with changing the oil. Motor oil is perhaps the most important component in your vehicle's internal combustion engine, as it lubricates and cools the thousands of moving parts that work together to power your vehicle; though not an unusual way to make your car last longer, it's still important. It's not enough to simply pick up the first oil you see on the shelf and then forget about it: you must regularly check your oil levels, adding or replacing oil as needed, and you must use a good quality oil that meets the requirements of your vehicle.

Classic Tequila Cocktail Recipes Everyone Should Know
Tequila is one of my all-time favorite spirits. It enjoys immense popularity across North America, but I think its strengths are underutilized in the United States. North of the border, tequila is best known for the Margarita, which is delicious, but almost never properly executed. There are a couple other popular tequila drinks like the Tequila Sunrise or (shudder) tequila shots, but these fail to take advantage of the spirit's true potential.

Must Have Truck or SUV Mud Flaps
Let's face it: mud flaps and splash guards aren't the most exciting car part to talk about. The fact remains, however, that they can be as important as your bumper or wiper blades—especially if you have a larger vehicle like a truck or SUV. Mud flaps are important for the safety of cars and other vehicles around you, protecting them not only from mud, but from more dangerous road debris such as rocks and gravel, making them among the must have pickup truck accessories. When driving on the highway in excess of 60-70mph, your truck or SUV tires can launch bits of gravel at other motorists, potentially causing broken windshields and other hazards.
