Tequila Desert Bird
Tequila Desert Bird

All the Jungle Bird vibes… in the Desert…

We're in Palm Desert, California. Everyone knows how much I love a Jungle Bird, but I wanted to create a version fit for the desert, which of course involves using #Tequila1940Blanco. This recipe combines two techniques, a stir and a shake. The latter to product a salted pineapple tiki foam that perfectly compliments the Rosita-like cocktail underneath. It's light, tropical and absolutely delicious for any occasion but just so fitting in this desert heat. Let me know what y'all think! Pro-tip: Fresh pineapple juice produces the frothiest results, if you're using canned pineapple juice, add agave nectar instead of orgeat to get a creamier foam. Cheers y'all!

Frozen Honey Painkiller

Who needs fireworks anyway? 🔥

Happy #FourthOfJuly friends! Got a confession - frozen tiki drinks are a guilty pleasure of mine, but who doesn’t love them, amirite? This one is a little more involved but I promise it’s well worth it. The recipe below is for 2 servings, but feel free to scale up at your leisure :)

This one combines 3 types of rum with some pineapple and coconut with a little cinnamon fire for dramatic effect… oh and it’s definitely not a regular Painkiller™ ;)

Cheers y’all!

Let’s put that pineapple demerara syrup to good use.

Figured its been a while since I’ve flexed the R&D muscle and what better way to kickstart it by using my buddy Jordan’s super easy pineapple Demerara syrup (check out his reel in the stories). This recipe was an easy one to make and right up my alley… and probably yours too.

Also - Trying a new format for Reels, let me know what y’all think!
(Yes, I know I need a new microphone.)

🍹Do you like Piña Coladas but hate getting caught in the rain?🍍Well read on below...

Sorry I've been a bit MIA lately, I was a little sick but finally feeling well enough to do some experimenting today after reading a couple articles on @punch_drink.

Let me introduce you to a Clarified Milk Punch, the scalded milk coagulates with the citric acid in the cocktail and strained through a fine sieve to produce the clearest cocktail you've ever seen. Believe it or not, there's actually an ice cube in this @viskistyle rocks glass 😉🥃💎

The Boule-Bird
The Boule-Bird

TIKI-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!

Is #TequilaTuesday a thing? It should definitely be a thing.

Well the good news is, I’ve teamed up with my friends to make it a thing. I created a refreshing bramble riff created with their new Reposado offering. Its the perfect recipe for all this summer weather coming up this week. You’ll be wanting to make a few of these, trust me. Cheers y’all!

A Noble Hospitality

This cocktail, A Noble Hospitality, won a cocktail competition to become Charleston Wine + Food’s signature cocktail back in 2017. It was created by my friend Morgan Hurley of Mex1 and has all the elements I love in a great balanced cocktail and flavor profiles of smoke, bitter, fruity and sweet. You will want to make this one ASAP!
