Batanga Margarita

What happens when you cross a margarita and a Batanga? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had this crazy idea to merge these two iconic Mexican cocktails without really knowing if it it'll work or not. In theory, the elements in a cola syrup wouldn't be too far off from an amaro. We've made the Jagerita before (yes, it's a Jagermeister as a base spirit in a margarita) - and I actually kinda enjoyed it. I'm writing all this before I even do any R&D on this cocktail but I have a feeling like it'll all work out. Unless I'm wrong.

Future Miguel: "Hey guys, this is pretty good, you need to try it out"

20th Century Whiskey Sour

Lemon and chocolate don’t belong together… or do they?

I’ve made a 20th Century cocktail in the past and thought there was no way it would work. Lemon and chocolate don’t traditionally go together but for some reason, in that cocktail, it just works. While I think the original version was ok (made with gin), bourbon is a much better fit for this cocktail.

What do you think, would you try this?

Cheers y’all.

Salted Cucumber Margarita

¡CINCO DE MAYO! Looking for that refreshing margarita recipe for the occasion? You found it.

Together with @casadonramo n, 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!

Spicy Pickle Margarita

Jumping on the pickle margarita bandwagon… c’mon in, we’ve got room 🥒

Yeah I know it’s been done but had to try it for myself. In theory it works right? You put a salt (brine) and lime (acid) in your margaritas right? So why not add pickle juice which adds those elements as well. I used a spicy pickle brine here and it was incredible. Note that I used the new @lalospirit s high proof here, a whopping 2oz of it, but the spec below made for a well balanced, spicy, sour margarita that you’ll love… unless you hate pickles that is, in which case, we can’t be friends anymore.

Cheers y’all.

A Rose By Any Other Negroni

Brb… gotta clean some peppercorn off my lens…

Up next on Charleston's tour of #NegroniWeek with @campari_southcarolina is Fabiana Pinillos (@fabiliciousssss) over at Dalila's (@dalilas_on_spring)

"Dalila's would not be the bar it is without the Negroni - it is one of the first cocktails we think about and play off of when designing menu changes. This takes all those traditional components that we love and amplifies them in a floral, but non-pastiche way, toasting the pink peppercorn to bring out some richness and citrus notes, matching that with Italicus, a rose and bergamot liqueur that's light on its feet, and putting an underrated classic gin like Gordon's at the helm to steer the beverage in the right direction. A bit of seasoning ties it up all nicely - a pinch salt, an expression of lime oil, and just a dash of a rich simple syrup add body to make this Negroni delicious."

Just a reminder that this week, I'll be featuring five of Charleston's finest bartenders to show us their take on a Negroni. The cool part about this if you're local, they'll actually be serving these up at their respective bars THIS WEEK ONLY, so make sure to go to @dalilasonspring to give this one a try and support the cause!

Caipirinha Limonada

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.

Dill & Chill

While we had some downtime at Sony Camera Camp, me and a couple other food creators just hung out at the pool bar and I figured I'd get behind the bar and make a drink. The dill stole the show here, they just happened to be growing some fresh in the herb garden at @konakai last month and figured I'd put it to good use along with some of the other in
