Mom's Flowers

Your mom deserves her flowers (and wine, mostly wine).

Today we’re doing wine cocktails with my friends at @bonterra. Wine cocktails may seem redundant but it’s actually a great way to enjoy a lower-ABV cocktail experience (in moderation, obviously). This recipe is no exception, to celebrate spring and #MothersDay, this recipe uses Bonterra’s Sauvignon Blanc, which is carefully made with certified organic grapes. Think of this recipe as a cross between a Spritz and a Pimms Cup. Its finished with edible flowers to compliment the wine and fresh fruit in the cocktail.

Cheers y’all!

A Fantastic Voyage

A fantastic voyage, you say? You can find that here.

In an effort to showcase some of the local restaurants/bars and amazing talent here in Charleston, SC. You can find this cocktail recipe at @thequinteoysterbar or @lowlandtavern tavern right in the heart of downtown Charleston. This take on a traditional Air Mail, an OG cocktail from the 1930s.

I don’t know about you but sometimes classic cocktails just take me back to the holidays. They’re simple, easy and perfect after a long day. Enjoy this one next to the fire and bundle up.

The Jaliso Sour

Hey folks! I’m excited to #partner up with Patron, who has challenged me to create a classic bourbon cocktail for #NationalBourbonDay - but here’s the twist, we’ll be using their bourbon barrel aged Patrón Añejo in place of whiskey.

Umami Martini

MSG gets a bad rap, but don’t let it scare you from making this 🍸

MSG or Mono-sodium Glutamate has been widely used in cooking for centuries, but did you know it can be naturally derived as well? This compound is found in every day food such as mushrooms, tomatoes, meat and many other vegetables. There’s nothing scary or dangerous about this ingredient, just like anything else… when used in moderation. MSG is important in cooking since it provides that ‘5th’ flavor profile - UMAMI.

“What does umami taste like?” - you (probably)
Umami is the savory or meaty taste of foods. It comes from three compounds that are naturally found in plants and meat: glutamate, inosinate, and guanylate.

New York Sour

This late 1800’s classic combines a traditional whiskey sour but adds a red wine floater. It’s as beautiful as it is delicious and its a great gateway to wine drinkers who “hate” bourbon. Give this one a shot!

The Pineapple Champagne Punch

This one packs a PUNCH. Looking back at that time I worked with Garden and Gun to recreate Dorothy Heyward’s Champagne Punch thanks to Wayne Curtis

The PB & J Sour

I was inspired to make y’all a cross between a New York Sour and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich… and its sooo good. I’m using cognac and a rich red wine to accentuate the grape notes which play in harmony with the peanut butter flavor in Skrewball. Try this out and let me know what y’all think!
