There’s something special about Miller High Life. This no-frills, cheap, thirst-quenching American adjunct lager is as classic as beer gets. Best imbibed in its clear bottles adorned with the simple Miller High Life label and the iconic image of a woman sitting on the moon while hoisting a frosty brew, it’s crisp, refreshing, and highly […]

When it comes to the world of mixed drinks, things changed with the cocktail renaissance of the early aughts. Before that, if you wanted an old fashioned, you’d have to hope the ancient bartender at your local watering hole knew how to make one (or had the directions on a laminated piece of paper somewhere).

Everyone may be raving about what went down at Coachella, but we can’t stop thinking about Ultra Music Festival. Concluding its sold-out 24th edition at Bayfront Park three weeks ago, the festival welcomed 165,000 attendees from more than 100 countries. As one of the world’s most premier destination festivals, all the planning in the world […]

If you follow bourbon, then you know that most brands like to release new expressions in the fall to get a jump on the holiday season. Well, now that the calendar has flipped and spring has sprung this is the perfect time to take a gander at what you may have overlooked during the doldrums […]

A new flavor of Dr. Pepper is coming! Why are we so excited? Well, aside from the fact that we love soda (and I’m assuming you do too) this is the one section of the snack food market that doesn’t get a whole lot of innovation. New flavors come and go occasionally, but the soda […]

I’ve only been to Mexico once before — to Tulum and Playa del Carmen on the east coast. We’re talking lush, tropical jungles with plenty of cenotes to explore and bask in while Instagram influencers flood the streets to get their photos taken standing backstage at house and techno parties. It’s fun, to be sure, […]

In tequila circles, the word “smooth” is a contentious one. And I get it — great tequila, with its bright and spikey agave-rich flavors, isn’t exactly smooth the way something like a high-quality and twice-filtered Irish whiskey might be. On tequila boards across the internet, I’ve seen posters get angry at other posters for simply […]

We’re coming up on 4/20. And look, regardless of whether you plan on partaking in the great stoner holiday or not, if you smoke weed recreationally and anyone knows this about you, they’re going to assume you’re psyched to roll up (or vape, or eat). So you might as well just give in. Sure, people […]

No 4/20 weekend (that’s right we’re going to go ahead and extend it to the full weekend) is complete without two things: great weed, and delicious food. The two go hand in hand, you take a drag — bong hit, edible, dab, however you partake — enjoy the ride and eventually you’re hit with the […]

If you’ve made a habit of eating fast food you’re probably aware that it’s incredibly easy to go overboard. It’s not so much that all the food is fried, these days there are plenty of healthier non-fried options out there in the fast food landscape, but it’s the carbs that are hard to avoid. Carbs […]

Coachella Week 1 is officially in the bag! From technical difficulties to surprise appearances to jaw-dropping visuals, this last weekend was full of all sorts of drama and highlights fans love to talk about.

To quote Uproxx Hip-Hop Editor Aaron Williams, “Coachella is still the best place to discover music that you otherwise wouldn’t or couldn’t.” Better yet, it remains a destination music festival known for surprise musical happenings. As seen last week, with Billie Eilish alongside Lana Del Rey, Shakira with Bizarrap, and Olivia Rodrigo with No Doubt. […]

Spring has sprung, and before you know it, summer will be here. Why’s it matter? Because we all live pretty busy lives, and whether you’re juggling jobs or simply have a lot on your plate, this is your reminder to start leveling up your backyard aesthetic. Don’t have a backyard? Maybe you have a balcony […]

Owning a home was once the ultimate litmus test for achieving the American Dream. A status symbol and an asset for one’s financial portfolio, homeownership was a sort of life measurement, a milestone you were expected to reach by a certain age on par with marriage, kids, and a sizable 401K investment. But, the reality […]

Here is what I love about chicken nuggets – unlike most fast food menu options, nuggets are functional as a full meal but more importantly a side order. If you go the full meal route, you can generally order eight, ten, or beyond at most fast food restaurants, and paired with fries and a drink […]

Most of us view money as a problem. It comes with a slew of questions we just don’t have the answers for. How do we get more of it? How do we spend less? Where should we invest it? What should we use it for? Will we ever have enough? Luckily, the onus of solving […]

The probability has never been higher that the person reading this sentence also watched the Women’s Final Four. An average of 18.9 million people were glued to the Dawn Staley-led South Carolina Gamecocks completing a 38-0 season by beating Iowa in the national championship and ending Caitlin Clark’s mythological college career. Did a decades-long appetite […]

In February, The Cut ran an eye-popping personal essay from one of its financial experts. Its title? The Day I Put $50,000 in a Shoe Box and Handed It to a Stranger. What followed was a 5,000+ word odyssey of unbelievably baffling proportions, one that proved even the shrewdest, most financially literate among us could […]

Juvenile is a bonafide hip-hop legend. Through the timelessness of his classic records, he has helped to cement the legacy of New Orleans’ Cash Money era while enjoying a cross-generational appeal via the magic of social media.

Bilal Rehman didn’t plan to be an interior design mogul, at least not initially. At just 24, the Houston-based studio owner has become the face of a younger, more approachable, and imaginative interior design industry, but a few years ago his career ambitions included titles like “doctor, engineer, and lawyer” he tells UPROXX. “I ended […]

The life of a touring artist isn’t for the weak. As most fans and musicians are aware, artistic preservation demands a break from time to time to make space for re-centering, writing, and relaxing. With that, it only made sense when globally recognized Americana and world folk ensemble Rising Appalachia announced that they’d be taking […]

Being a fan of great tequila can be an expensive hobby. While you can find a lot of great bottles between the $30 and $50 price range, there actually is something special about those “over $100” bottles. Yes, that’s right, I’m sorry to say it because I love a good deal as much as the […]

There’s nothing worse than a jaded traveler. The second you feel yourself getting jaded, get off the road. Pack it up. Head home. No shame in that; not in the least. Sometimes not even a hotel with a deep bathtub can beat cozying up on your threadbare couch. Travel is not for the weary, it’s […]

Well-aged rye whiskey is enjoying a renaissance right now. And one of the biggest names in the category just revived its greatest hit. Bulleit Frontier Whiskey 12-Year-Old Rye first hit the market in 2019 and the fanfare around the release caused it to swiftly sell out. Now, five years later, Bulleit has brought the expression […]

Speaking personally, I find it empowering to achieve your travel bucket list purely because it’s what your heart desires. Among the many bungalows-on-stilts options found in French Polynesia — and there are tons — […]

It’s officially early spring and that means that there’s a whole new season of beers just waiting to be embraced. While you can’t go wrong with the late spring when it comes to beer choices, we prefer the early days because of the diversity of beers that are well-suited for the weather. Some days it’s […]

I love soda but if I keep drinking multiple cans every day — and I don’t want to be dramatic here — I’ll f*cking die. Too hyperbolic? Maybe. But really, no one should be downing multiple Coca-Cola’s a day. Sorry. The easiest way to break that habit is by supplementing your favorite full-sugar soda with […]

Going on a safari is at the top of many travelers’ bucket lists — and for good reason. Getting the chance to see wildlife in their natural habitat up-close-and-personal is phenomenal and for many travelers, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Obviously, safaris are often unpredictable and are dictated by weather and the whereabouts of the wildlife — […]

We are less than a week away from a once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse. During this total solar eclipse — set to take place on Monday (April 8) — the moon will pass between the sun and the Earth and, for a short time, will completely block the face of the sun, per an explanation by NASA. […]
