Deepfake Irish Coffee
Deepfake Irish Coffee

It’s like an Irish Coffee, but not.🍀☕️ This enhanced version of the classic is still very easy to make and only takes a few more ingredients to execute. Chicory and coffee have always been a match made in heaven but together with an eight year old Irish Whisky like thequietmanwhiskey it just brings it to a whole other level. The notes of sweet vanilla and oak that is imparted from the barrel is on full display in this version of Irish coffee, only to be accentuated with a salted caramel foam to balance out the bitterness from the coffee.

Now cheers, and #HappyStPatricksDay.

’Tis the [fig] season here in the Lowcountry so why not make the best of it in an Old Fashioned?

Next up on the #FestiveOldFashioned series with @oldforester is the talented, Meagan Cheek (@meaganvision) with a fig inspired Old Fashioned that is as local as it it is seasonal. Check out his details below.

“Figs, allspice, brown sugar, maple syrup, and of course bourbon... what flavors could be more fitting for the holiday season? I wanted to feature figs because they often get a bad rap (pun intended). For this representation of the OG Old Fashioned I have chosen Old Forester 1920 for its warming winter flavors of cherry, vanilla, and graham cracker sweetness. The spirit is then infused at a low heat with dried figs rolled in a bit of brown sugar. Finish with a touch of allspice dram, maple syrup, and cherry bark vanilla bitters. Garnish with a fresh halved fig nestled in a big beautiful peel of winter grapefruit. If you don’t know, now you know!”

🎅🏻🎄 MERRY CHRISTMAS! I’ve been wanting to smoke a Holiday themed cocktail for a while now and I think I found the perfect vessel for it. I saw this at @target and immediately thought it was for smoking my cocktails… is that weird? Anyone know what this is really for? …either way it doesn’t matter because this drink ended up being delicious.

Get all the holiday vibes with this festive take on the Old Fashioned. Cheers y’all!

Rosemary, with its fragrant and pine-like aroma, has long been cherished as a symbol of remembrance and love during the holiday season. Its vibrant green needles evoke the festive colors of the holidays, while its robust flavor adds a touch of warmth to holiday dishes and cocktails. Whether infused in rich gravies, delicately dusted over roasted meats, or incorporated into hearty stuffings, rosemary brings a sense of tradition and comfort to any holiday table. Cocktails are no exception.

Sunday Scaries

The cure for all those Sunday scaries 💀🥃

Together with my friends at @blackenedamericanwhiskey, we took the traditional elements of a classic Boulevardier but enhanced it with caramelized banana and some torched absinthe to create something unique and familiar. BLACKENED American Whiskey provides a great base that provides both depth and richness to this already delicious recipe. Let me know what y’all think if you make it! #ad21+

Cheers y’all.

Jasmine Old Fashioned
Jasmine Old Fashioned

We can never have enough Old Fashioned recipes, amirite? 🥃

Together with my friends at @redemptionwhiskey, we’re going to make a jasmine-inspired Old Fashioned using the latest release Redemption Sur Lee. This whiskey provides some notes of walnut, jasmine and finishes with a unique umami note which ties together all the ingredients in this cocktail. It’s great neat or on the rocks, but also versatile enough to hold its own in a spirits forward cocktail like this old fashioned.

Cheers y’all!

La Lousiane
La Lousiane

Meet the Vieux Carré’s American Cousin, La Lousiane.

Here’s another stirred cocktail with roots in Louisiana. This recipe first appeared in 1937 and was the house cocktail at the historic New Orleans restaurant of the same name. It’s a rye-forward cousin to the Vieux Carré and still maintains the delicate balance despite the addition of rye and absinthe.

This is one you’ve got to try, cheers y’all.

Burnt Sugar Old Fashioned
Burnt Sugar Old Fashioned

As the old saying goes: When life gives you “burnt” syrup, make an Old Fashioned?

What happens when you leave your rich demerara syrup on the stove for too long? Yup. You’re left with a sticky mess to clean up for about an hour. But the byproduct is this amazingly rich, dark, bittersweet syrup that has notes of toffee and dark roast coffee. I know I didn’t invent this and burnt sugar syrup is used widely in other cuisines. My mom and grandma would even make something similar to coat their decadent flan but WHY did it take me this long to make it myself and use it in a cocktail? It’s so dang good. Up next: a Daiquiri.

Pomme Brulee Old Fashioned

It’s about time we brûlée some apples for an Old Fashioned.

We created an Old Fashioned thats sure to please this season. Flavors of cinnamon, caramelized sugar and apples play together perfectly with Rabbit Hole’s Dareringer bourbon, which is finished with PX sherry casks and has notes of oak, dried fruit and caramel.

This is one you need to make.

Cheers y’all!

It feels to get back to playing around with some basic cocktails but also playing around with some new video styles. I’m going to start to make a new Reel series and I’m trying to land on the format, would love to hear y’alls thoughts on this style (look/feel, music, voiceover, titles, etc). Let me know what else you’d want to see.

…and a partridge in a pear tree.

Happy holiday season y’all. Together with my friends at bruichladdich I’ve created a take on the classic Rob Roy. This takes The Classic Laddie, an unpeated scotch whisky, and combines it with the flavors of spiced pear and walnut to create a cocktail that is easy, delicious, and beautiful. Anyone can make this recipe, so make sure to give the gift of The Classic Laddie this holiday season by heading to the link in my bio!
