We can never have enough Old Fashioned recipes, amirite? 🥃
Together with my friends at @redemptionwhiskey, we’re going to make a jasmine-inspired Old Fashioned using the latest release Redemption Sur Lee. This whiskey provides some notes of walnut, jasmine and finishes with a unique umami note which ties together all the ingredients in this cocktail. It’s great neat or on the rocks, but also versatile enough to hold its own in a spirits forward cocktail like this old fashioned.
Cheers y’all!
Home for the holidays?
Doesn’t matter because you’ll be wanting to make this recipe wherever you are. I made this because I was looking for a festive Boulevardier alternative and think this was it. Let me know what yall think!
I’m over here swiping ingredients from other creators 😬
Since I wrapped earlier this morning I figured I’d make an easy ranch water sourced from one of their ingredients and of course Chantelle (@she_thebartender) was generous enough (she’s from Utah - makes total sense) to lend me her charred orange from her Cinnamon Charred Orange Margarita (coming soon!). In the meantime, check out this easy Ranch Water recipe for your next pool party.
Cheers y’all.
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.
Let's be honest... luxardousa maraschino cherries are like the icing on a bourbon cocktail cake 🍒🍸
Read MoreWell’p, if y’all have been following along, you know that two of my favorite things are a stiff Boulevardier and coming up with twists on a classic. This one is no different, the herbal notes of Chartreuse with the addition of grapefruit bitters takes the place of Campari in a funky yet delicious variation. Give it a shot.

Read MoreYou know I love a good collaboration - especially when it involves saving the bees. The @savannahbeeco recently partnered up with @dixievodka to produce “Dixie Wildflower Honey Vodka” using SBC’s wildflower honey. They’ve challenged me to come up with a recipe to incorporate this new product and to celebrate the launch of the new product in Charleston!

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!
Yes I know it feels like 🔥 in Charleston this summer so I made y’all a recipe to help you cool down. It is Spritz season after all 😉

Read MoreWhat to do with fresh figs? I’ve got you covered. I recently had an opportunity to #partner up with unclevals to create a summer cocktail using their Botanical Gin - made with juniper, cucumber, lemon, sage and lavender. Its perfect for any summer sipper like a traditional Collins so why not incorporate some fresh figs 🙌🏾 Cheers y’all!
Read MoreIs this the perfect after-dinner cocktail?
Here’s a recipe from the late 1880s that I love because there aren’t enough sherry cocktails in the world. The Adonis is equal parts Fino sherry and sweet vermouth. It’s rich, fruity and not overly heavy, all these fortified wines act like a digestivo, which makes for a perfect after-dinner cocktail.
Ok, so I’ll admit I was a big btparsons fan before, but I had the honor of taking his Amaro class at BenConCHS and was completely blown away. Luckily, Charleston, SC was a stop on his ‘Amaro’ book tour and I had the opportunity to pick his brain (again) at @edmundsoast while he was in town. He was knowledgeable, down-to-earth and one of the coolest authors I’ve had the honor of meeting. This cocktail recipe is a from his book ‘Amaro’ — definitely worth the pickup, even if its not personally signed like my copy 😉

Y’all know how much I love to #partner with local spirits and I’m happy to bring you another original recipe with my good friends over at sutlerspiritsco- If you’ve never had it before, the gin itself is considered a contemporary or ‘western’ style gin which means its more citrus-forward than a traditional gin.
.
This cocktail is a bit of a departure from my usual, spirit forward cocktails because wanted to bring something a little fruitier, vegetal and balanced to the palate, while still letting the Sutler’s Gin shine through all the other complex flavors. Really enjoyed making this one and hope you try it out. (FYI, the juice can be bought off the shelf, no need for a fancy juicer, unless you really want to)
