PSL Carajillo
PSL Carajillo

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.

Saltamontes Espresso Martini
Saltamontes Espresso Martini

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.

🍀Who’s celebrating #SaintPatricksDay today?
.
I’m sure most of you are already familiar with that Irish Coffee, but have you ever tried an Irish Tonic?? I was introduced to the coffee/tonic combo by my friends over at @jackrudycocktailco not too long ago and was hooked! I figured this recipe would be fit for today’s festivities. Hope y’all give it a try and let me know what you think!

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.

Parmesan Espresso Martini
Parmesan Espresso Martini

Ok ok… Its time to finally make this monstrosity… the PARMESAN(?!) Espresso Martini.

This idea was initially suggested by the talented thebittergringo and with highproofteacher’s stamp of approval, I knew I had to try it… and I’m not gonna lie y’all, this was astonishingly delicious. I typically put a pinch of salt in my espresso martinis anyway but that savory, cheesy, funky salinity you get from parmesan is just unmatched and worked perfectly in this cocktail. I would not be surprised to see this pop up at more bars soon, but y’all already know that would be a $24 cocktail 😂

TL;DR: You need to make this, its so good.

Coffee Infused Kingston Negroni
Coffee Infused Kingston Negroni

Coffee + Jamaican Rum + #NegroniWeek seems like a winning combo, right?

I’ve been wanting to use this pour over stand from Farmhouse Pottery for a cocktail and just haven’t found the right occasion for it…. UNTIL NOW. If you haven’t had the combo of coffee + Campari, it's a match made in heaven so you gotta try this one out.

#ProTip : if you find this a little too bitter for your taste, add a pinch of salt and thank me later! Cheers y’all.
