Don’t drink an espresso martini, drink this instead 🍊☕️🍫
We’re here in Palm Desert, CA with my friends at almaveto create a non-alcoholic riff on a Carajillo. This recipe utilizes their Ambar, which is their agave-based spiritless ‘blue agave spirit’. Similar to tequila, #Almave is made from the same blue agave but skips the fermentation process where the liquid becomes alcohol. In addition to the notes of chocolate and orange, Almave adds the rich agave flavors that pair perfectly with this cocktail. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
Cheers y’all.
Ever paired salted dark chocolate with an ańejo? 🤯
We’re here in Palm Desert and together with my friends at tresgeneracionestequila, I’ve created a take on a modern classic in the Oaxacan Old Fashioned by adding elements of dark chocolate
and sea salt. #TresGeneraciones Añejo stands well on its own but since we’re making an Old Fashioned here, I figured chocolate would pair well with the rich toasted oak notes in the ańejo as well. Adding just that pinch of salt also accentuates the flavors of chocolate + citrus and brings out more of the roasted agave with each sip. If you’re looking for an Old Fashioned recipe for the summer, this might just be your new go-to.
Cheers y’all.
Well, it wouldn’t be a Valentine’s Day cocktail if it wasn’t pink, right?

You really can’t beat a Rum Old Fashioned… especially not this one 🥃
Together with my friends at rondelbarrilito, we’re going to show you how to make their signature Barrilito Old Fashioned but with a [flamed] twist. The orange and chocolate bitters in this recipe in lieu of aromatic bitters really plays on the notes of vanilla and raisin in this particular 3 Star offering. If you’re not familiar with #RonDelBarrilito, it is Puerto Rico’s oldest rum and the distillery has used the same method of crafting this rum since 1880 — with no aritificlal ingredients or coloring. Each small batch is distilled with rainwater and then aged for 6-10 years in Oloroso white oak barrel, providing a rich, full-bodied rum.
Cheers, y’all!
For those asking about a smaller format batched Espresso Martini recipe, I got you!
Always been a big fan of batching, especially when hosting a party. Freezer door martinis have become a thing as of late and I figured why not an Espresso Martini? So here we are. This should speed up your process of making one and it still provides you with a thick head of foam after shaking. Again, perfect for that #NYE party!

Another @holycityhandcraft original coming at ya! Playing with a couple different flavors here, I’ve always been a big fan of medium-roast, fruitier coffees since they tend to taste like dark cherries and chocolate. So why not make a cocktail based on those flavor profiles, right?

see you need a little pick-me-up.
Well you’re in luck, together with amarula_us, I’ve created a coffee forward cocktail that will do just that. If you haven’t heard of #Amarula, its a cream liqueur created from the Marula fruit native to Africa that is aged in French Oak to round out the hints of nougat, caramel and vanilla. All perfect accompaniments to your cold brew or espresso (and/or whiskey). Enjoy and cheers y’all!

The holiday season is around the corner. Are you ready?
Together with angosturahouse, we’ve created the perfect stirred rye cocktail that marries flavors of cinnamon with their newest member of the bitters’ family: ANGOSTURA® cocoa bitters.
Now is a perfect time to get the fireplace going and make this recipe. Cheers y’all!
This spicy hot chocolate cocktail is tequila based and is my take on a Oaxacan Chocolate flavor profile. Check out the recipe below and let me know what you think!

I figured I’d take seasonality into account and utilize fresh strawberries to match the rich, ripened berry notes from the Small Batch bourbon. This is a delicious and easy-drinking recipes perfect for any occasion. Cheers!
