Here’s what’s happening at Brown Bag Liquor in May

Let’s get twisted… and give away a pop-a-shot… at Kansas Speedway? If you read this headline and thought your favorite Olathe liquor store had finally lost its marbles, let us clear a few things up for you. One: we never actually had any marbles to begin with. Two: Our month of May is jam-packed with sales and giveaways and celebrations, and while these may not all be happening concurrently… they are most definitely happening. So buckle your seatbelts and start your engines, because we’ve got a wild month ahead of us. 

Getting Twisted at the Speedway

While we don’t condone actually getting “twisted” at the Speedway as the kids say, we are excited to share our May Cocktail of the Month. It’s called Midwest Twist, and it tastes like summer in a mason jar. To make our Twisted Tea concoction, you’ll need: 

1oz Deep Eddy Lemon

1 Lemon Wedge

1 16oz Mason Jar Mug loaded with ice

The Midwest Twist might be one of our most refreshing cocktails to-date, and we highly recommend making a big batch of it for all of your May gatherings. It’s the perfect cocktail to enjoy during race weekend at Kansas Speedway, but if you’d rather enjoy your NASCAR booze straight from the can, we have just the deal for you. All race weekend long (Friday 13 – 15), you can get a 12-pack of Twisted Tea cans for just $12.99 at Brown Bag. Twisted Tea comes in Original, Half & Half and Variety Pack flavors, and every single one is absolutely worth trying. We’re so excited that NASCAR is back in Kansas City with the Dutch Boy 150 and AdventHealth 400 – will we see you there? 

Pop-a-Shot Giveaway 

We can barely contain our excitement for the return of the Royals… but between KU winning the NCAA Championship and the NBA Playoffs heating up… it’s safe to say we’ve got basketball on the brain. So much so that we’ve decided to give away a Pop-A-Shot this month. To enter, all you have to do is sign up at the store between now and May 31, when we’ll draw a winner. Lucky for you all, there’s no competition this go-around. We saw your Galaga scores, we can only imagine how you’ll fare at Pop-A-Shot 😉

Memorial Day Weekend Cocktails

Memorial Day weekend 🤝 drinking. What would the weekend be without it? This Memorial Day, we’ve got just the cocktails for you. If you couldn’t tell, we’ve got Twisted Tea on the brain this month, and we’ve got two more Twisted cocktails for you to try. 

First up is the Honey Twea. To make it, you’ll need:

6 oz. Twisted Tea

1 oz. Jack Honey 

1 Lemon Wedge

1 16 oz. mason jar

It’s as sweet and refreshing as it sounds, but if you think honey is just for the bees, we’ve got another Twisted cocktail up our sleeve. It’s called Island Tea Time, and it’s made with:

6 oz. Twisted Tea

1 oz. Mango Rum

1 Lime Wedge

Just add the rum and Twisted Tea to a 16 oz. mason jar, and boom, you’ll practically be able to feel the sand between your toes. 

But here at Brown Bag, we know that making cocktails isn’t everyone’s… you know, bag. So if you’d rather stick with a premade cocktail for your Memorial Day drinking, look no further than Day Chaser cocktails. Made with real juice and sparkling water, you can try Day Chaser cocktails in Cranberry Vodka, Lime Vodka, Cucumber and Buda Berry flavors. These are flying off our shelves, so get ’em while they’re hot! Er, we mean cold.
