We've rounded up the tastiest sips from this week's posts so you don't miss anything delicious!

This Week in Serious Eats: Drinks

1. Ask A Bartender: What's The Best Tip You've Ever Gotten?
"It's always nice when a customer slaps down an extra $20 at the end of the night, or when that cute girl scribbles her phone number on the coaster and leaves that, too. But tips, both monetary and not-so-monetary, get much crazier than that."

1. The Serious Eats Budget White Wine Hall of Fame
"Here are our favorites—the best bang for the buck in white wine under $15."

3. 25 Sips from the 2012 Manhattan Cocktail Classic Opening Gala
"Dozens of different cocktails were poured (over 75 different drinks, by our count) for about 3,000 guests. We were on hand to sip (and sip, and sip some more) and snap a few photos."

4. Behind the Scenes at The Glenlivet Distillery in Scotland
"Welcome to Speyside, a beautiful region of Scottish countryside surrounding the River Spey, where the sheep and the shortbread outnumber the people."

5. 8 Tips for Hosting a Beer Dinner at Home
"You're a whiz in the kitchen, and everyone knows it. It's time to take it to the next level. The right beer, paired with your killer eats, will create satisfaction beyond the sum of their liquid and solid parts."

6. More Sips from the Manhattan Cocktail Classic
"These smaller-scale events impressed us even more than the grand Gala—it's great to get a chance to focus on just a few well-crafted cocktails, get to know a new spirit or drink-making technique, and enjoy a look behind the scenes without struggling against huge crowds."

7. We Try the New Slurpee Lite Fanta Sugar-Free Mango from 7-Eleven
"Just in time for the warm months, 7-Eleven has unleashed Slurpee Lite, a sugar-free frozen beverage with half the calories of your run of the mill Wild Cherry Slurpee."

8. First Look: Cocktails at Riffle in Portland, OR
"Dave Shenaut, former president of the Oregon Bartender's Guild, has bounced around for brief stints at almost all of Portland's greatest craft cocktail bars. But he told us that he won't be leaving Riffle anytime soon."

9. Eyewitness Booze Investigation: Gosling's Dark 'n Stormy
"On the one hand, why on earth would you ever need to buy a canned version of a two-ingredient drink? No matter how tired I am, I'm never too busy to mix dark rum and ginger beer."

10. Where to Drink Coffee in Michigan
"Not until recently did this pleasant peninsula begin to stand out, and cities across the state have begun to offer some of the best coffees roasted in the nation at truly lovely cafes."
