Renewed Revival

Your holiday party cocktail just arrived… recipe below.

Today I’m working with my friends at @thelostexplorer to make a seasonal margarita riff. They make some incredible agave-based spirits and also have a commitment to sustainability which inspired this spiced pineapple syrup I used for this cocktail. This syrup uses every part of the pineapple along with some fall spices and is essential in this recipe and figured it would be a great fit with the brightness of the tequila and the smokiness of the mezcal rinse.

Give this one a try, cheers y’all!

Sunday Scaries

The cure for all those Sunday scaries 💀🥃

Together with my friends at @blackenedamericanwhiskey, we took the traditional elements of a classic Boulevardier but enhanced it with caramelized banana and some torched absinthe to create something unique and familiar. BLACKENED American Whiskey provides a great base that provides both depth and richness to this already delicious recipe. Let me know what y’all think if you make it! #ad21+

Cheers y’all.

The Crosby

Here’s another twist on an Amaro cocktail from btparsons book, “Amaro” named the ‘Toronto’ — I’ll admit I’m not the most avid fan of Canadian whiskies, but you’ll be surprised what a touch of black walnut bitters, Fernet and demerara will do a cocktail.

Louisville is for Makers (Smoked Salt Boulevardier)

Did you know there are only three places in the US where you can try my cocktails at actual bar? Two of them are in Charleston but one is actually at claytonandcrume’s speakeasy in Louisville, KY. Last year I had the opportunity to help craft the menu for their inaugural opening right before the Kentucky Derby. This was one of those recipes.

It’s an easy one and one of my go-to cocktails to make at home.

Strawberry Amazing

Cue the slow jams, you’ll be wanting to make this #ValentinesDay inspired Negroni-riff TONIGHT. 
The strawberry infused Campari brings that strawberry flavor to the party and complements the fruity notes of this smooth Reposado. Combined with Creme de Cacao and a touch of sea salt, this cocktail provides you a salted, dark chocolate-covered strawberry…. in a glass. Your partner will thank you… you’re welcome <3
