Ashland is known for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, but there is far more to this Southern Oregon city than the bard and its resident deer population.

Legendary supermodel and entrepreneur Cindy Crawford and the founders of Casamigos, Rande Gerber, George Clooney, and Mike Meldman, unveil
Casamigas Jalapeño Tequila. This fiery addition to the Casamigos family is inspired by Cindy’s personal favorite drink, the skinny, spicy Casamigos Margarita.
“A few years ago, Rande and I were watching the sun set on our dock and we talked about how fun it would be for me to do a spicy tequila. Voila - Casamigas was born," says Cindy.
As a woman who loves to travel, Cindy enjoys unwinding with her favorite drink at the hotel bar. A jalapeño tequila was clearly missing from the shelf. Now, with Casamigas Jalapeño Tequila, her travel escapades to her favorite destinations such as Miami, New York, Chicago, Paris, and London are bound to be even more memorable, as she can savor her cocktail of choice wherever her adventures take her.
Crafted from 100% blue Weber agave from the rich clay soil of Jalisco, Mexico, and using the ultra-premium Casamigos Blanco Tequila, it’s naturally flavored with jalapeños to create a spicy yet balanced tequila.
“As much as I love Casamigos, my go to drink for a fun night is a skinny, spicy Casamigos margarita,” says Cindy. “Casamigas Jalapeño makes it that much easier. It’s Casamigos with a kick.”
But Casamigas Jalapeño isn't just a product—it's a passion project. With Crawford's intimate involvement with Rande and his team in every step of its creation, from concept to label design, this launch is a testament to the personal investment of both the Casamigos team and the supermodel herself.
“Cindy has obviously been part of the Casamigos journey since day one, and I’m excited that she now gets to put her special touches on Casamigas,” says Rande Gerber.
Available nationwide at hotels and restaurants such as Casa Cipriani, Soho Grand, and The Mercer, Casamigas Jalapeño Tequila promises an adventure whether you drink it neat, over ice, or in a cocktail.
And let's not forget the aesthetic appeal: the label of Casamigas Jalapeño Tequila is a playful nod to its fiery nature. Incorporating Gerber’s same classic bottle design, the label, also designed by Gerber, has Cindy playfully disrupting the traditional label with a vibrant display of flames, jalapeños, and Crawford's trademark lips and beauty mark.
It's a visual representation of the tequila's bold personality—a statement piece for any hotel bar or yours at home.

Next month, Nick Ozemba and Felicia Hung, the co-founders of the Brooklyn-based design studio In Common With, plan to open Quarters, a shop housed in a 19th-century TriBeCa loft. The 8,000-square-foot space is laid out like a well-appointed home: Guests enter through the library and can wander the great room, bedroom, dining room, kitchen, bar and lounge at their leisure. Everything within — furniture, lighting, art and even the pantry provisions — is available for purchase. Ozemba and Hung collaborated with several of their creative friends on the objects and décor that fill the space. They designed the tiling throughout with the New York City-based artist Shane Gabler, while a fresco depicting eels with earrings by the painter Claudio Bonuglia adorns a portion of the bar and lounge, which will open for evening service beginning this summer. The furniture on display is a mix of restored vintage pieces and new designs by Ozemba and Hung, some of which can be customized with imagery drawn up by various tattoo artists. “We’ll be able to sit down with people and play,” Ozemba says of the space’s potential to spur conversation and inspire new projects. “Retail shouldn’t be so serious. Take off your shoes and have a glass of wine.”

With more than 300 sunny days per year, daytime temps that rarely dip below 65, and an armada of resorts, Phoenix, Arizona is a great getaway for any group gathering that prioritizes pool time, day drinking, and a few rounds of golf. But the city's appeal goes deeper: The area's natural beauty inspired designers and artists like Frank Lloyd Wright, Maxfield Parrish, and Paolo Soleri. And despite its enormous growth (the metro area topped 5 million last year), the increasingly diverse city still retains a frontier spirit: Newcomers are reinventing everything from its food scene to its art circuit, making Phoenix one of America's best under-the-radar destinations.
There’s magic in a good hotel bar—you never know who is coming or going or what interesting things they might be getting up to pre- or post-cocktail. Hotel bars are one of the best ways to cultivate a feeling of travel at home, or on the other hand, enjoy a nightcap before heading up to your hotel room or a refreshment before exploring your destination.
