Spaghetti Jungle Bird
If a Spaghett and a Jungle Bird had a baby, it would be this…
Looking for a crushable summer cocktail to sip by the water? I got you, I found this idea scouring reddit for Spaghett variants and was pleasantly surprised by this recipe. Try it out and let me know what y'all think.
Cheers y'all.
Salted Cucumber Margarita
¡CINCO DE MAYO! Looking for that refreshing margarita recipe for the occasion? You found it.
Together with casadonramon, I’m pairing the refreshing flavors of fresh cucumbers, spicy jalapeño and a touch of smoked sea salt with Tequila Don Ramón Punta Diamante Silver. This is a recipe that you’ll be coming back to over and over again. Cheers y’all!
Ghost of Christmas Future
This is for all you Scrooges out there 🎩🎁
“...a solemn Phantom, draped and hooded, coming, like a mist along the ground, towards him.” 💀
I got this tiki mug from my friends over deathandcompany x tikilandtrading and immediately thought, it was so ON-BRAND for Death & Co. but also so fitting to make make a winter tiki cocktail inspired by The Christmas Carol… so here we are…
Apple Jack the Reaper
Apple season is here, you’re going to want to make this for your upcoming halloween party - Grim Reaper mug optional…
PS. I got this tiki mug from my friends over deathandcompany x tikilandtrading and immediately thought, it was so ON-BRAND for Death & Co.
Cool Runnings
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!
The Irish New York Sour
Another classic - The New York Sour.
We’re recreating some classic whiskey-based recipes utilizing the #TheQuietManIrishWhiskey. It provides for a flavorful; yet, well balanced base spirit for any whiskey-based cocktail.
Today we’re going to be making a classic New York Sour with Irish Whiskey - Try it out for yourself and let me know what you think, cheers y’all.
The Trackside Creamsicle
Bourbon + Creamsicles is a match made in heaven...
I couldn’t think of anything to welcome the fall season more than this recipe below featuring Buffalo Trace bourbon and cream, sweetened with a “burnt” sugar syrup that introduces a deep caramel flavor profile and topped with fresh grated nutmeg to round it all out.
Season of Spice
With Laphroaig - Always having lived in the south and tropical weather, its always acceptable to make and consume tropical cocktail year-round - and yes that includes the Holidays ☃️🥃
The Yuletide Bramble
A bramble to match the season? Yes please.
We created a festive take on a classic bramble. Try this one for your next holiday party! Cheers y’all!
The Haitian Divorce
A smooth blend for those special moments. Cheers to new beginnings.!
Cheers y’all
The Bloody Amber Road
Unveil the rich and robust flavor of our Bloody Amber Road. A tantalizing blend that exceeds expectations, leaving a lasting impression with every sip. Indulge in the essence of expert craftsmanship and pure sophistication. Cheers to unparalleled quality.
The Plainview Sour
Hey you! Looking for that crushable fall/winter cocktail?
Together with my friends at Watkins1868, I’ve created a bitter twist on a whiskey sour which uses their new all-natural Orange Bitters which have rich and warm notes of citrus, clove and cinnamon. I thought these flavor profiles would pair well with the season and would be perfect for sipping this fall and winter.
The Clover Club
Is this the official cocktail of #ValentinesDay? ❤️🔥
I love me a good classic cocktail and also love that this one is making a resurgence considering the recipe dates back to the late 1800s. All the flavors here play so well together, the brightness of the lemon, fruitiness of the raspberries and texture of the egg white is rounded out by the ever classic fordsgin. If you haven’t made it before, tonight seems like a great night to do so. Oh and maybe you should make two 😘
Tahonarita
Just because #CincoDeMayo is over doesn't mean we're done with Tequila cocktails.
.
If you're wondering about the "glassware" - its from the folks at @tossware, a stylish, 100% recyclable and BPA-free alternative to using those traditional plastic containers. I can see myself using this for cocktails at the beach or pool this summer and as a bonus, they're 100% sustainable as well. This is #notanad - but after trying the product a couple times, I thought it would be a great product to share with y'all. Fun fact: they are NOT dishwasher safe... as my wife and I recently found out :D
The Calamansi Snaquiri
THE WORLD’S TINIEST DAIQUIRI 🍹
…lovingly nicknamed a ’Snaquiri’. This was the most requested cocktail for this #TinyCocktail series so I had to oblige. This rendition is made with fresh calamansi juice which is near and dear to my heart (since I am Filipino and all). If you haven’t had calamansi, I describe it as a cross between a bitter orange, lemon and yuzu. The addition of that grapefruit oil adds more of that citrus aroma but is optional.
NOTE: Replace “Parts” with Ounces below to make a full size Daiquiri.
Cheers y’all.
Blood Orange G&T
What’s better than a mimosa on Saturday morning? A bitter orange gin and tonic with a side of college football.
Charlestowne Swizzle
Easy tiki drinks? Sign me up.
I’ve teamed up with my friends at Watkins1868 to create a local twist on a classic. This cocktail utilizes their new Aromatic Bitters which has delicious hints of vanilla, tart cherries and hibiscus. All flavors that meld perfectly with a funky Jamaican rum and fresh sweet black tea. Check out the recipe below, cheers y’all!
Classic Mai Tai
introvert but willing to discuss Mai Tai specs.
Here’s my take on a traditional Mai Tai. To me, Wray & Nephew overproof is non-negotiable. It brings that iconic funk that Jamaican rums tend to to lend to tiki cocktails and this one is no exception.
Do you have you own Mai-Tai spec? Whats your take on it?
Cheers y’all.
The Sichuan Sour
Who doesn’t love a little spice with their sweet and sour?
Lunar New Year is right around the corner (1/22) and together with hinecognacs, we’ve developed a recipe to celebrate. For this recipe, I’m utilizing ingredients typically found in eastern culture such as sesame and five spice, as well as tapping into the Chinese region of Sichuan to bring a bit more of that spiciness to the party. HINE’s VSOP line offers a delicious and balanced experience from start to finish. You’ll get notes of sweet, sour, savory and spiciness in a glass and it’s perfect for any gathering.
Make sure to grab your bottle from @reservebarspirits (link in stories).
Cheers and happy year of the rabbit!
