Brazil vs Haiti at 8:30! Have Camila make you a Caipirinha and celebrate her homeland's favorite sport! They've won 5 World Cups over the years, more than any other team!

The Hydration Break (pictured): How do you get a big network like FOX to pick up World Cup games in the US where people are not huge fans of the game? Pretend you care about the players enough for a hydration break which in reality is all about airing commercials! Well, we put a positive spin on it with a delicious refreshing cocktail made up of muddled cucumber, Titos, Malibu, fresh lime juice, and a splash of soda

Strawberry Yuzu Sour: Four Roses Bourbon, Yuzu syrup, muddled strawberries, lemon

Strawberry Paloma: Tequila of choice, muddled strawberries, lime, grapefruit soda

We got some unfortunate news today that our friend Mike Harrington passed away overnight. If you have spent much time in our little pub in the middle of nowhere you likely have met Mike, it's likely he has offered to buy you a drink, it's likely he has offered to help out with a ride, some auto maintenance, or help with pretty much anything without ever looking for anything in return beyond a pleasant conversation. A truly selfless dude that we will miss tremendously... We'll be having a Labatt Blue and a Jaeger shot in salute to our friend. Our condolences to his son Brandon, brother Mark, and the rest of the family... We'll miss you buddy.

We'll share any info we have on funeral plans when we get them as well as a gofundme for the family to help with said funeral costs.

One quick note beyond the novel I just posted... If you live in, or are visiting the area and can't get a World Cup game on at home/cottage... We got ya! If it is outside of normal hours, shoot us a PM and if I am not in the middle of something, l'll open the bar for the game most of the time. Today I'll be open for drinks and the Bosnia v Switzerland game at 3pm (sorry, no rakija guys).

Thirsty Thursday Live! This week the The XoXos return for the season. A bit about our live music. Generally we plan on having music on the patio on THursdays from this point forward. Understanding Michigan weather is, well, chaotic... We have heaters out there and will try to keep the music there. If it is looking monsoon like, well, we'll move it inside and keep things at a respectful volume for folks who want to have a conversation while enjoying some walleye or the best burgers in the Thumb!

Friday we continue to run the best karaoke night in the Thumb! In addition to some great singers (and some not so great :) ), we'll be running a couple pretty big World Cup games... US vs Australia is at 3pm and we will open the bar early to accomodate anyone interested. Camila's home team Brazil faces off against Haiti and we'll be muddling up some Caipirinha's in salute to them!

I'm working on the new hipster cocktails tonight, should have the new stuff available by tomorrow (I need a trip to the farmer's market first).

Karaoke tonight at 8:30 w/ Cody Vader!

A funny thing, my kitchen folks mentioned we had a lot of potatoes and I suggested twice baked potatoes as a side dish for something this weekend so... I went over a similar process to what my mom used to do with my kitchen folks and they set to recreating (my mom used 'merican cheese because, well, that's how she rolled... we topped ours with bacon and cheddar because I know how y'all roll) . When done, they put the finished product on a plate for me and I realized, this was no side dish... Available this weekend until we run out, good for an app to share, or a carby meal!
