Have you ever had a Jaffa Cake?

It’s no secret that orange and chocolate go really well together so when I saw this recipe in @nicholas.hamilton’s newly released book, “Sipsy Doozy.” I knew I had to try it. Just happened to be great timing with it being #WorldCocktailDay and all. I’m happy to report that it’s as delicious as it sounds. Huge congrats to Nick for his new book, you can grab it over on his page/bio!

Cheers y’all.

Excerpt from the book and origin story of the cocktail:
“This spicy chocolate orange in liquid form tickles the throat as it soothes the tongue with cocoa-coated citrus. This concoction was invented by my followers and me on a TikTok livestream, a result of brainstorming drink ideas with the viewers in the comments. Once the drink was made, a clever commenter said it must taste like a Jaffa Cake, a popular orange-chocolate biscuit (cookie) from England.

Deciding that that name didnt fully encapsulate the spiciness and savoriness of the cocktail, it was renamed the Jaffa Kick.”

#ad21+ Frozen strawberry + jalapeno margaritas should be on the menu this #CincoDeMayo

Together with my friends at @tequilamicampo, I recreated one of my favorite drinks I had a few weeks ago but added a little kick to it. For this frozen margarita, mix everything up and add a few dashes of jalapeño hot sauce and you’ve got something magical. Tequila Mi Campo Blanco adds a layer of citrus and rich tropical notes derived from resting in French oak barrels to this already incredible cocktail that you should definitely make for Cinco de Mayo.

Cheers y’all

Happy Mother’s Day to all you wonderful moms out there!

Today I’ve #partnered with @nataliesoj to bring you an easy Mother’s Day margarita recipe that anyone can make using Natalie’s fresh juices and topped with a refreshing Jalapeño/Key Lime Margarita Sorbet infused with @tanteotequila from @tipsyscoop! Cheers y’all.

Ok, but seriously, fill up those atomizers…

It’s time to use that mint simple syrup from yesterday, today we’re making an OG mint julep the right way. I’ve heard tell of folks in KY putting some funky Jamaican rum on top o their juleps before. If you know me, you know how much I love funky rum (funky in a ripe banana way, not in a 70’s jazz way - actually maybe both?).

Anyways, it adds a level of complexity, fruitiness and sweetness to an already delicious drink. Try it out this weekend and let me know below how you’re celebrating the @kentuckyderby!

Amaro sours should be the OFFICIAL after-dinner drink of 2025.

Yeah you heard me, if you’re a fan of Amari, you’re going to love using it as the base spirit. Its the perfect balance of sweet, sour and bitter. Bonus points that it’s a digestivo and it’s the perfect cocktail to have after dinner.

Let me know what other amaro base cocktails you’re making in the comments.

Cheers y’all.

If a Spaghett and a Jungle Bird had a baby, it would be this…

Looking for a crushable summer cocktail to sip by the water? I got you, I found this idea scouring reddit for Spaghett variants and was pleasantly surprised by this recipe. Try it out and let me know what y'all think.

Cheers y'all.

It's horchata szn!

Last but certainly not least on our locally-inspired series with @herradurateq is our girl Meagan Cheek (@meaganvision) with her take on a Lowcountry horchata utilizing Carolina Gold Rice and caramelized puffed rice cakes. This was unreal.

“Carolina Gold Rice is a huge staple here in the Lowcountry. I wanted to showcase the grain in a way that added some Latin flair to a southern classic. The already creamy texture of the rice lends itself well to horchata, and the vanilla and cinnamon notes in the rice milk play off of the same velvety vanillin undertones found in Herradura Ultra. Combined with cinnamon infused brandy, raspberry cordial, a touch of lime, and finished with rhubarb bitters, this cocktail will have you ready to face a forgiving southern winter. Garnish with puffed rice brittle and enjoy!

The easiest summer cocktail you can make…

I know the Spaghett has been around for a while but it really is such a great spring/summer cocktail. The best part is it’s only 3 ingredients and it’s absolutely crushable.

Cheers y’all
