Ahumado Old Fashioned
Ahumado Old Fashioned

Give me an Old Fashioned, but make it with a smoky tequila 🥃 #PatronPartner

I’m excited to introduce y’all to the newest offering from @patron - Patrón Ahumado - and make a classic Old Fashioned with it. #PatronAhumado is made in small batches using a low and slow roasting technique of the piñas underground with mesquite for at least seven days. Agave is then crushed using the unique 100% tahona wheel distillation process. The reposado tastes sweet, smoky, and oaky with notes of black pepper and hints of vanilla and caramel — it takes a classic Old Fashioned to a new level but can also just be enjoyed neat or on the rocks. If you’re a fan of smoked spirits, you need to get your hands on this bottle ASAP.

Cheers y’all.

Peach Old Fashioned

Peaches 🍑+ Brandy 🥃, name a better combo…

Together with my friends at @stremybrandy, we’ve decided to put together a cocktail that celebrates the base spirit as much as the cocktail itself… The Old Fashioned. Since peaches are in season, what better way to compliment this ingredient than with a rich brandy. Want to know what makes this one in particular so special? #ad21+

St-Rémy Signature is the only French brandy that features a double aging process first in charred new oak casks, then in traditional, seasoned brandy oak casks to bring layers of smooth and oaky flavor to the forefront. The two-cask maturation imparts intense spiced notes and verve as well as balance and complexity, which makes for a versatile yet easy-to-drink flavor profile.

You’re going to want to make this one.

Whistle Pig Maple Old Fashioned
Whistle Pig Maple Old Fashioned

Ok, real talk - @whistlepigwhiskey sent over a care package that included their barrel-aged maple syrup and figured why not take their suggestion to make it into an Old Fashioned.
.
In case you didn’t know, the Whistle Pig Farm is in Burlington, VT and they actually have maple trees onsite that they tap and harvest maple syrup from. This syrup is then aged in spent Whistle Pig Rye Barrels producing a super unique, single source maple syrup!

🥃🔥 Looking for another why to smoke cocktails? Look no further than The Char Board from Whiskeywood. They recently sent this over to me to try out and I’m blown away at its portability, effectiveness and especially that depth of smokey flavor it gives to your cocktail. The three ‘flavors’ of wood include: ‘Apple Orchard’, ‘Peanut Butter and Chocolate’ and my favorite so far, ‘Grandma’s Cookies’ — that being said, this cocktail is named after my grandmother, Mona. I think you can guess which smoke stick I picked.

Barrel Aged Boulevardier
Barrel Aged Boulevardier

Have you ever wondered how to barrel age a cocktail at home? I’m excited to once again #partner up with Cooperscraft to show y’all how to do so! The barrel aging technique is not only a tried and true way to batch a cocktail, it’s also a great way to add a subtle toasty flavor while mellowing a cocktail to create a perfect balance of flavors. The instructions are simple and the hardest part will be waiting for the cocktail to age without wanting to have more than one sample. .
Note that not all barrels are created equal, so the recipe is split into equal parts instead of exact measurements. Make sure to read the barrel preparations from your manufacturer before the barrel aging process as those instructions can vary per manufacturer as well. Enjoy!

Bantha Milk Fizz

A long time ago... In a city far, far away, a six year old boy watched his first @starwars film and was instantly hooked just like many of those before him.

I grew up watching these films over and over again and waited in line for the midnight showing of the prequels and the new series. I collected the toys, wore the shirts, etc. Since tonight is the official release of #TheRiseofSkywalker - I figured I’d honor my favorite series of all time with a boozy take on that subtle beverage with the cult following — BLUE MILK.

The Choke and Smoke

Ok, so I’ll admit I was a big btparsons fan before, but I had the honor of taking his Amaro class at BenConCHS and was completely blown away. Luckily, Charleston, SC was a stop on his ‘Amaro’ book tour and I had the opportunity to pick his brain (again) at @edmundsoast while he was in town. He was knowledgeable, down-to-earth and one of the coolest authors I’ve had the honor of meeting. This cocktail recipe is a from his book ‘Amaro’ — definitely worth the pickup, even if its not personally signed like my copy 😉

Anyone know where to get jumbo sized cherries? Asking for this jumbo-sized Old Fashioned 🍒😂

This may or may not be an #aprilfools joke but this is a great recipe for a BATCHED Old Fashioned. Just mix the ingredients below with ice and strain into a serving vessel of your choice. If you’re serving for a later date, add 4 oz of filtered water and throw that bottle/container in the fridge or freezer until you’re ready to serve. Serve over a large ice cube and garnish with an orange twist and maraschino cherry (optional).

Disclaimer: Please drink responsibly and don’t try to drink this entire thing by yourself in one sitting.

So I can’t be the only one that gets lost down the rabbit hole that is @youtube.

My favorite genre of videos are any of those that I can learn from. I recently was looking for some inspiration for a Repeal Day cocktail and stumbled across @how2drink. If you haven’t checked out Greg’s channel, you absolutely should - its educational and super entertaining.
Anyways, I made this pre-Prohibition cocktail based on his recipe and you can bet it won’t be the last one I make from his channel - I’ll post the link in my stories #videographygoals

Chartreuse Ti’ Punch
Chartreuse Ti’ Punch

If you like daiquiris then you’ll love this recipe.

It’s the national cocktail of Martinique and Guadeloupe. ‘Ti’ is an abbreviation for “petite” (aka small) - so the cocktail name translates to ‘small punch’. It’s all built in the glass and as easy to drink as it is to make. Today we’re making a spin on it by adding light herbal elements via “Végétal de la Grande Chartreuse” aka “the elixir” - its the purest form of the original Chartreuse out there (and actually readily available).

Smoked Salt Negroni
Smoked Salt Negroni

The holidays always remind of the fall/winter flavors and spices that go into everything we eat and imbibe during the season. I recently #partnered up with 1792 bourbon to create a custom cocktail that will tie in all these flavors into a simple cocktail… Can you keep a secret? It has to do with the spiced panela syrup. Infused with flavors that remind me of fall and winter, it ties in well with 1792 Bourbon due to the bourbon’s high-rye content and spice-rich notes, alongside vanilla and caramel. Check out the recipe below and let me know what cocktail reminds you of the holidays! #1792 and #1792Bourbon
