Tequila Desert Bird

All the Jungle Bird vibes… in the Desert…

We're in Palm Desert, California. Everyone knows how much I love a Jungle Bird, but I wanted to create a version fit for the desert, which of course involves using #Tequila1940Blanco. This recipe combines two techniques, a stir and a shake. The latter to product a salted pineapple tiki foam that perfectly compliments the Rosita-like cocktail underneath. It's light, tropical and absolutely delicious for any occasion but just so fitting in this desert heat. Let me know what y'all think! Pro-tip: Fresh pineapple juice produces the frothiest results, if you're using canned pineapple juice, add agave nectar instead of orgeat to get a creamier foam. Cheers y'all!

Martini Highball

Its like a highball…but a martini. Listen, I’m a big martini fan - but they are hardly sessionable. This recipe is a bit lighter but well balanced. Give it a try.

Cheers y’all.

Kintsugi Negroni

Ever heard of Kintsugi?

Kintsugi (金継ぎ, “golden joinery”) is the art of joining together broken pieces with molten gold to provide one beautiful and cohesive piece. While this is often used to describe pottery, today we’re using it to describe this Negroni riff with my friends at 135eastgin. Their Hyōgo dry gin is meticulously crafted and works perfectly in this recipe while the slight salinity from the sweet soy balances with the bitterness from the aperitif. I really enjoyed this one and hope you do too!
