Hang Ten And Chill With A Surfer’s Martini
I have tried surfing a few times. To be honest I was awful at it. It is much tougher than it looks. Yet I think I can handle a surfer’s martini. The Surfer’s Martini, made famous on the sands of Southern California by the thrill-seeking, wave-chasing duo that created Peligroso Tequila, is a simple-yet-stirring twist on the classic cocktail.
In case you didn’t know June 19th is National Martini Day. So if you are at the beach on that date or heck even at home you might want to try to make the Surfer’s Martini. Just consider trading in the vermouth and olives for something with a little more thrill and a lot more agave. As always please enjoy responsibly.
Surfer’s Martini
1.5 oz. Peligroso Silver Tequila
Lime Slice
Pour Peligroso Silver Tequila into a rocks glass with ice. Garnish with lime.

It Started With The Air Jordan I. Get Yours This Weekend
You will never forget your first. Nike and Jordan Brand are bringing back the shoe and colorway that started the Air Jordan franchise. It all started with the one. White. Black. Varsity Red. Words can be thrown around about how “timeless” and “classic” these are, and they wouldn’t be wrong. The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG returns in the original colorway, helping celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Jordan Brand. Get yours tomorrow on Nike.com.
The Air Jordan I was first released in 1985 to the public. Michael Jordan came into the league in 1984 and did not wear the Air Jordan I until halfway through his rookie year when Nike finally made the shoe available for him. The first Air Jordan was red and black. Nike used that colorway of red and black to match the Chicago Bulls colors. When Michael finally wore the pair in an NBA game, he was fined by the league because the shoe did not have the color white on it. Every time Michael wore the red and black Air Jordan I, he was fined $5,000. Jordan signed a five year contract with Nike for $2.5 million when he came into the league, so the fine wasn’t that hard to take.
Nike took the “outlawed” shoes and used it in their ad campaign to sell the first Air Jordan. There were a few commercials out there to sell the sneaker. One was of Michael Jordan dunking at a playground, one was the “Banned” ad that had MJ’s kicks get censored in the TV spot, and one even had Jordan playing Santa Claus. Before Jordan NBA players did have their own shoe, but no shoe has ever had the fanfare the Air Jordan line has had with sneakerheads.

Which Hero Will Get Your Vote?
In the past I have had the privilege to meet some real life heroes. When Crown Royal asked me to cover the “Your Hero’s Name Here” a few years back I didn’t know what to expect. Besides meeting a ton of cool bloggers I was able to interact with some extraordinary people.
These people were men and women just like me, but went above and beyond to help their community. Whether it was here in the United States or around the world these heroes needed to have their story shared. That is where Crown Royal steps in with NASCAR and the Brickyard 400.
As the grand prize winner of Crown Royal’s annual “Your Hero’s Name Here” program, a deserving hero’s name will be etched in history with naming rights to the NASCAR race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 26th, 2015. This race will mark the ninth time Crown Royal has awarded race naming rights to an adult fan. The program focuses on all of the unsung heroes who make a difference in their communities, from firefighters and police officers to first responders and local volunteers. Every year five heroic finalists are nominated and through consumer voting, one winner is chosen to have their name cemented in sports history.
Those 21 years of age or older can go to CrownRoyalHeroes.com to vote for the hero they think is most deserving of naming rights to the race. With voting closing on June 7th help out the finalists receive as many votes as possible through CrownRoyalHeroes.com
