12/18/2023 0 Comments Loverboy drinkI mean, we did go through some shit and you know, we ended up having the best day of our lives and we had our friends and family there. What were you most excited for audiences to see this past season? Like, I’ll do an Instagram post where I kind of, not that anybody asks, but I explain myself, you know? We all handle it differently. I’ll let something kind of bubble, or I’ll bottle it up. Kyle: You’ll definitely see me hang onto it longer. Then, you know, the next week’s episode airs and we move on. People can get out their grievances and tell me their advice and opinions. I let people comment whatever they want and send me all the DMS, and I don’t delete them-I just don’t read ’em. When something super dramatic or slightly triggering is about to air, w hat are your self-care methods to avoid maximum emotional impact?Īmanda: This year, I haven’t really been watching just because, you know, once you’ve gone through it and moved past it, no one wants to relive it again.And then I just kind of stay off of social media. I was surprised I’m not bald after last summer. We felt like we’re alone on an island.Īmanda: We set ourselves up for failure and we showed it on our face. But the number of people who can relate to running a company together and filming two TV shows starts to whittle down. Kyle: One of the biggest challenges we had last summer was, like, there’s a lot of people out there that can relate to the challenges of planning a wedding during COVID, you know. You want the support of everyone, but you also know that you’re doing a job and people have to help you tell a story and get your points across. When you go to film, you have to talk about things way more than you normally would.Īmanda: It’s part of the job, you know. There are not many relationships that withstand the test of television. You know, it’s always distracting when your relationship kind of goes through the wringer. Kyle: I mean, I’d love to say, “Yeah, we’re used to it,” but I mean, it always kind of hurts. Are there things that have popped up that are unexpectedly difficult for you guys to share? Or are you now used to it all? You’ve been sharing your lives on TV for a while now. We wanted to create a little bit of separation, so Loverboy can live on its own. There are brands where the founders, or like the “face” of the brand, is so attached-they’re one and the same. And we also want to have customers that are interested in it who have no idea who we are. So with our marketing and our branding and a lot of things we do, we try not to include ourselves too much in it because one day the show won’t exist anymore and we still want the brand to succeed. But the way that I’ve looked at the brand is that we want it to be able to live independently but also be a part. Do you two value the brand being intertwined with the show, or is that something you hope Loverboy outgrows one day?Īmanda: The show has definitely helped and benefited the brand. Speaking of shows that gave drinks a platform, look at Summer House and Loverboy. ![]() Kyle: For me, it was actually 100 percent Sex in the City. But I always associated it with my mom and like, a classy, sophisticated older woman. As I got older, I learned it was a Sex in the City thing. Her friends would come over or they’d do, like, their Tupperware-selling parties. What was your main perception of cosmos? Who did you associate the drink with?Īmanda: My mom and her friends, especially when I was younger. ![]() We sat down with newlyweds Kyle and Amanda to chat all about their newest cocktail release, what it’s like filming and working together as a married couple, *that* wedding drama from this season, and how they handle the show’s social media noise. The one we’re most excited about? You guessed it, their cosmopolitan. ICYMI, Loverboy, a sexy line of canned cocktails, hard teas and spritzes started by Summer House’s Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula, has a slew of new flavors that will have you (and your poolside hangs) covered for the rest of the summer. Thankfully, since the pretty pink vodka libation is a part of said Y2K resurgence, those ready to harness their inner Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte don’t have to rely on an HBO Max subscription (but, I mean, it’s not like we ever did □□).Īnd get this: You don’t even need top-tier bartending skills or the nearest happy hour to hop on to this cocktails-of-yesteryear wave. ![]() But of course, the early aughts adult beverages are nothing without the It Girl drink of the era: the Cosmo. Espresso martinis and hard Shirley Temples are all back in the mix, and TBH, I, for one, am not mad about it in the slightest. Much like the rest of the Y2K renaissance that has been upon us, the late 90s and early 2000s cocktail comeback is very much real too.
