Anyone know what this is really for? …either way it doesn’t matter because this drink ended up being delicious.

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.

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.
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…

Not your Ordinary Negroni… or is it?
Last but certainly not least, I’m excited to introduce you to my talented friend Christian Favier (@christianjfavier) of The Ordinary (@eattheordinary) for #NegroniWeek with @campari_southcarolina.
“We love a Negroni at The Ordinary. We didn’t want to just do a variation on something we already find nearly perfect, so we chose to flip the formula altogether. Playing on the parallel bittersweet taste of both Campari and Passionfruit, with the big bold flavor of Wray and Nephew, we did the whole thing frozen to keep it frosty cold and dangerously crushable all the way through.”
Don’t forget you can grab this cocktail at @eattheordinary this week!
This also wraps up my Negroni Week series with my talented friends here in Charleston! It’s been a blast to be able to film something/someone other than myself for a change.
Thank you to all those who have supported and if you like this series and want to see more like it, let me know below what else you’d want to see in the future.
Cheers y’all!
Is this going to make the Brazilians mad?
Well I figured I'd do a mashup of two Brazilian cocktails in a caipirinha and a limonada. The latter involves leaving the piths and skin on the lime and blending it together with cachaça and condensed milk. The pith lends a bit of pleasant bitterness to the cocktail which can be offset with a bit of salt. In this rendition, I made the limonada in the style of a caipirinha and I will say, this is absolutely delicious. Give it a try.
Cheers y'all.
Read MoreToday we’re drinking our vegetables
Together with my friends over at @empress1908gin, we made a gin sour inspired by the ingredients in their Elderflower Rose Gin. Elderflower and cucumber have always been a match made in heaven but I really wanted to highlight the vegetal aspects of the black carrot in this offering as well. The addition of fresh carrot juice in this cocktail provided that sweet, vegetal note I was looking for. Hope y’all enjoy this one!

Read MoreI’m convinced this is the martini of the summer 🍅🍸
This is long overdue, but I finally had to try the Tomato Martini (aka Tomato-Tini aka Tomato-tini) created by my friend @drinksbyevie. If you’re a fan of dirty (read: filthy) savory martinis then this one is for you. I added just a slight kiss of MSG to this one just to highlight a bit of the natural MSG in tomatoes and I thought it worked out beautifully.
Have you made this recipe yet?
The daiquiri you didn’t know you wanted.
Happy #NationalDaiquiriDay - figured I’d kick off y’alls weekend with a solid sipper here. A classic daiq with the addition of Chartreuse and sea salt is the jam and you need to make it immediately.
Cheers y’all.
🇺🇸 Happy Birthday America, you don’t look a day over 240 years old! Coming at you hot with a fresh new recipe to celebrate the independence of the greatest country on earth. Happy 4th, y’all. Have fun and be safe out there! 🎇🎆🇺🇸
Read MoreTIKI-inspired Boulevardier? Yep.
Together with coopercraft, my good buddy Jordan aka @highproofpreacher and myself have teamed up to create two takes on a Boulevardier. Both recipes will be using similar ingredients in pineapple and sherry but they will be vastly different in flavor and texture but very similar in that they’re both absolutely delicious.
This is my take on a tiki-inspired cross between a Boulevardier and a Jungle Bird. This recipe is both SHAKEN and STIRRED. The initial base is a Boulevardier-riff that combines Oloroso sherry and the 100-proof coopercraft Barrel Reserve to provide something familiar but not overly sweet to compliment the topping (think Garibaldi). This orgeat, salted-pineapple foam is literally the icing on the cake. This topping is shaken to showcase the pineapple’s natural ability to foam when aerated (shaken) providing for light and fluffy top and a strong, complementary base to match. You NEED to make this recipe this week and make sure to head on over to @highproofpreacher to check out his coffee/pineapple riff!
