[Improvised] Azalea
[Improvised] Azalea

⛳️🏌🏻 It’s time we make the official drink of @themasters… but better…

The original Azalea recipe calls for lemonade but I wanted to reimagine this drink as a true sour and use some higher end ingredients like maple grenadine and a real maraschino cherry. The key here is to add a bit more dilution to the build so make sure to crack the ice to get more length to the drink itself.

Cheers y’all.

Black Carrot Gin Sour
Black Carrot Gin Sour

Today we’re drinking our vegetables

Together with my friends over at @empress1908gin, we made a gin sour inspired by the ingredients in their Elderflower Rose Gin. Elderflower and cucumber have always been a match made in heaven but I really wanted to highlight the vegetal aspects of the black carrot in this offering as well. The addition of fresh carrot juice in this cocktail provided that sweet, vegetal note I was looking for. Hope y’all enjoy this one!

Clarified New York Sour
Clarified New York Sour

Let me make this clear…

Together with my friends at @bonterra, I’ve clarified one of my favorite cocktails, The New York Sour. Traditionally made with bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup then topped with red wine. In this case, I’m clarifying this cocktail using the milk punch technique where we use the acid in lemon juice to bind with the milk solids to produce a crystal clear, delicate and delicious whiskey sour. Today I’m using Bonterra’s Pinot Noir to compliment due to its rich and bold notes that is the perfect floater for this cocktail.

Cheers y’all!

It’s watermelon szn and #WorldBeeDay? Let’s cook 🐝🍯🍉

This recipe combines a couple of my favorite things: gin, honey, basil, watermelon with an addition of a bitter aperitif in Select and a pinch of smoked sea salt just to bring out more of the fruity flavors in this cocktail. Of course this is going to be served over crushed ice which will let the drink evolve a bit as you drink it.

Cheers y’all.

The Disco Sour
The Disco Sour

Ok, show me a mood ring but make it a cocktail… 🕺🏽🪩

First a little back story here: Let me introduce you to The Disco Sour, created in 2015 by my talented friend Megan Deschaine for a restaurant called 492 here in Charleston, SC. I remember walking up to the bar at this restaurant after work (my office was 4 buildings down). By the way, this all happened before my days of developing recipes and photographing them and here was this amazingly friendly bartender asking me what I wanted to drink. I asked what she suggested and she put this drink in front of me and I was immediately blown. It was her signature cocktail, way before the days butterfly pea flower went mainstream (this was 2015 folks!), the drink was served in a carafe and poured table side so you could watch the drink transform from white, to blue to pink.
Cheers y’all!
