Here are some Negroni variations you need to try for Negroni Week featuring some of Charleston’s talented bartenders.

Holy City Handcraft has teamed up with TEN other Charleston mixologists for Negroni Week to create variations of the classic Boulevardier cocktail featuring Coopers' Craft Bourbon.

Its that time of the year folks 🎃☕️

Together with my friends at @licor43usa, we’ve created a fall-inspired version of one of my favorite espresso cocktails in the Carajillo. I first had a traditional Carajillo in Jalisco, MX as an after-dinner drink and was blown away at the simplicity of combining equal parts of espresso and Licor 43 to provide a delicious and frothy espresso forward cocktail. Needless to say, we ordered one almost every night we were there. Licor 43 provides notes of vanilla, caramel and citrus which plays perfectly with pumpkin spices (clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, etc) giving this popular cocktail a fall-inspired twist thats perfect for your next get-together.

Cheers y’all.

A Batanga, but make it 🍒

Shoutout to my guy @cocktailsbyhawk for the idea!

Hosting a dinner party soon? I got you covered…

Together with my friends at @milagrotequila, I’m excited to share the newest bottle in their lineup that’s perfect for such an occasion; Milagro’s new #CristalinoAñejo. This tequila made with 100% blue agave that’s been aged up to 24 months in French and American oak and filtered to have a nice blend of caramel and vanilla sweetness from the barrel with an extra smooth finish from the filtering process. Today I’m going to show you TWO easy ways I’d serve it to my friends for our upcoming dinner party that we’re hosting.

Let’s start off with a cocktail shall we? I love the idea of making a spirit-forward classic like a martini to showcase the nuances of flavors in this Cristalino. The second serve is more for those tequila-purists that want to taste ever single aspect of the liquid, this signature serve is highlighted by a grapefruit twist to complement the citrus notes in this tequila.

Eggnog cocktails don’t have to be boring y’all, especially not with a salted hazelnut cold foam 😳

Together with my friends at @maolamilk, we made a cocktail that you can enjoy to ease into the holiday season. The secret is in the salted hazelnut cold foam made with #MaolaMilk’s rich eggnog combined with hazelnut liqueur and sea salt. This is whipped and then integrated into the base cocktail which has herbal sweet notes from the amaro and Angostura then combined with crème de cacao to give you a rich, yet balanced cocktail.

What do you get when you cross a Grasshopper with an Espresso Martini?

Let me show you an interesting one I’ve been making lately with my friends at @canteranegratequila. This recipe is a cross between a grasshopper and an espresso martini. Since we’ll be using #CanteraNegraCafe, we’ll already have those notes of cocoa and rich coffee in this liqueur. Both flavors should play perfectly with the fresh mint and Fernet Mente in this recipe #ad

For the base spirit today, we’ll be using Cantera Negra’s own Reposado, an additive free tequila that’s just as good a sipper as it is in this cocktail. Next time you’re at the store, you may as well go home with both bottles as they are a match made in heaven 😉
It’s a great recipe to bust out during your next get-together, let me know what you think!

Cheers y’all.

Apple season is here, you’re going to want to make this for your upcoming halloween party - Grim Reaper mug optional…

PS. I got this tiki mug from my friends over @deathandcompany x @tikilandtrading and immediately thought, it was so ON-BRAND for Death & Co.
