Alpha Pretty Pleasy Mango Squeezy Hard Seltzer



Info from Feast Magazine






Alpha Pretty Pleasy Mango Squeezy Hard Seltzer....$9.99 / 6pk cans
The hard seltzer and tonic trend has officially hit St. Louis with the launch of Easy Peasy Hard Tonic.

The brand, owned by Danielle Langeneckert, is kicking things off with its Easy Peasy Mango Squeezy hard tonic. Langeneckert says the name comes from something that she heard over and over when asking people why they enjoy hard seltzer and tonic – it's easy to drink.

Easy Peasy Mango Squeezy has a 5 percent alcohol content and 100 calories, keeping in line with big-name brands in the industry. However, the product does have a small amount of quinine, a bitter substance added that qualifies it as a tonic rather than a hard seltzer.

Langeneckert says that Easy Peasy's flavor and sweetness were all determined through a series of local taste tests. She says that consumers should expect more flavors to be released in a couple of months, including grapefruit and tangerine.


Besides being a St. Louis brand, Langeneckert says that all of the ingredients are locally sourced, from the flavors to the quinine to the St. Louis water. The tonics are produced at Alpha Brewing Co., which Langeneckert's husband, Derrick owns, but Langeneckert says they plan to keep the companies separate otherwise.

Currently, the mango tonic is only available in draft keg options, but 4-packs of 12-ounce cans will be released in October. St Louisans who want to try the tonic can currently find it on tap at Alpha, and it will also be rolling out to different spots around the city in the coming weeks. Langeneckert also says Easy Peasy will be doing more tastings throughout the St. Louis community to get people familiar with the product.

"We hope to see the brand grow," she says.

The Whiskey Advocate on Courage & Conviction Single Malt
91 Points:”The nose has an earthy expression of the grain, and works in heady aromas of guava, pomegranate, blueberries, and kiwi, along with sandalwood soap. It’s oily and silky in the mouth, with forthright lemon and orange oil, guava, and kiwi, as well as dried leaves, nutty tobacco, and peppery spice. The finish is gentle and fades slowly, with lemon oil, milk chocolate, and a hint of ashy charred nuts. (9,600 bottles)

Aged a minimum of three years, this 100% malted barley whisky is matured in former Sherry, Bourbon and Cuvée wine casks.

Tenimenti D'Alessandro Sensational Syrah


Aaron Zwicker 
tasting and lunch at Tenimenti D'Alessandro back in 2018



Amazing Syrah from Cortona Tuscany!
In the Spring of 2018 my family and I were lucky enough to spend a week in Cortona Italy with some of our closest friends and their children. Our friends had purchased, at a Charity auction, a week at a Villa with a Chef, as amazing as that sounds it was actually better, we had a blast exploring the town of Cortona and taking day trips to Sienna and even the Perugina Chocolate Factory in Perugia, big hit with the kids. The adults however were more excited for the tour, tasting and lunch at Tenimenti D'Alessandro. The wines and food truly lived up to the billing and Michelin Star. Needless to say I was thrilled to get an email last week announcing that these wines are now available in St Louis. While Syrah is certainly not a grape often associated with Tuscany, the vineyards around Cortona grow it almost exclusively. These are truly world class wines. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
