Remember the Alimony

We found the perfect cocktail to kick off the weekend.

Charleston-based photographer and mixologist Miguel Buencamino of Holy City Handcraft (@holycityhandcraft) whipped up a jumbo Manhattan cocktail, complete with a giant “cherry,“ at the @gardenandgun offices. The recipe below provides 20-25 servings of this classic cocktail and can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge or freezer. Cheers and happy Friday! 🥃

Please note: This is a great way to enjoy a batched cocktail to share with friends, but we don’t recommend consuming alone.

Why is this the most important ingredient in a cocktail? #ad21+

You guys know how much of an ice nerd I am (hello #cleariceweek), so together with my friends over at luxieusa we’re going to show you how to elevate your cocktail game by simply using a clear ice sphere. Believe it or not, ice is arguably one of the most important ingredients in a cocktail, so what’s the big deal about clear ice?

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!

This ones inspired by my friends up north 🇨🇦

Throwback to a challenge by my friends to create a unique cocktail using ingredients local to Victoria, BC. Using the fruity flavors found in ‘Mountain Berry Tea’ by @tealeavesco (Elderberry, Hibiscus, and Black Currant) along with local smoked honey from countrybeehoney, I was able to create a cocktail that is delicious on its own. I was able to take this cocktail even further by experimenting with a black currant (cassis), elderflower and pamplemousse foam to compliment the drink itself. Not going to lie, either one could be enjoyed on its own but combining the two takes this drink to the next level.
