Last Call LeeAnn – Minaj a Moscato

Name: Myx Fusions Moscato

Type: Wine cooler

ABV: 5.5 percent

Try This Drink If You Like: Asti sparkling wine

Nicki Minaj is the new face of moscato, a sweet, effervescent wine.  The chanteuse, known just as much for her sense of style as her music, partnered with Myx Fusions to give the world what it was apparently missing.  A moscato-based wine cooler.

Truth be told, I wanted to hate it.  Instead, I was pleasantly surprised by all three flavors: Original Moscato, Peach Moscato, and Coconut Moscato.  I’m not going to describe an upscale wine cooler with fancy sommelier terms, but I will tell you why you need Myx Fusions Moscato at your next tailgate.

 

1. Nicki Minaj’s wine coolers are very, very tasty.  Each incarnation is fresh, spritzy, and sweet without being cloying.  The peach- and coconut-flavored moscatos are infused with actual fruit.
2. At 5.5% ABV per 6.3 ounce bottle, you can pregame with several of these without getting tanked before the main event.
3. The packaging is tailgate-friendly. Myx Fusions Moscato comes in 4-packs of cobalt blue bottles and can easily be stacked in a cooler with beer.
4. Not everyone is a beer drinker, especially in the morning. Throw some orange juice into an Original Moscato for an easy mimosa.
5. TWIST-OFF CAPS!

Nicki Minaj has been quoted as saying that rapping is her favorite sport.  But, what team does she actually root for?  I reached out to her “people” to find out, but received no response. Therefore, I can only assume that she, like me, roots for the underdog. The Cleveland Browns. Cheers!  –written by LeeAnn Marhevsky
