Baby Guinness

Just a wee-Guinness for this St. Patrick’s Day 🍀

2-INGREDIENT COCKTAIL REVIEW | EP. 3 | BABY GUINNESS 🍀

I already had a feeling that I’d like this one. It’s literally coffee and cream so you can’t go wrong. It’s a bit on the sweet side so I’d maybe add some Irish whiskey to this if I made it into a full cocktail. I’d also probably whip shake the Irish cream too to put on top. Also, don’t skimp on the coffee liqueur, Mr. Black is a staple at my bar and always recommend going with that, Creme de Moka by tempusfugit or Espresso Liqueur by @luxardousa.

Check out my review above and let me know what I should make next!

Zombie

Hey at least I can admit when I f**k up, right?

In an effort to do a bit more research, I want to share the incredible history behind an iconic tiki cocktail: the zombie. Created by Don the Beachcomber (and NOT Trader Vic — thanks to everyone who pointed that out). This classic tiki cocktail is as full of history as it is rum. I hope y’all found this video as informative as I did.

Now… who wants to know the recipe to Don’s Mix? Should I make a zombie in the next video? Comment below.

Cheers y’all.

Lily Pad

Spring has sprung, so lets celebrate with a delicious and floral spring themed cocktail with my friends over at @bentlyheritagedistillery.

I’ve partnered with @sourceonevodka to produce an easy sipping cocktail created with a local ingredient to pair with their small batch, single estate vodka. I landed with an Earl Grey syrup from Charleston Tea Plantation and combined it with delicate but floral ingredients to create a well balanced cocktail perfect for any spring day. Check out the recipe below!

Coconut Negroni Syrup

Oh, y’all thought I was done with that Negroni-aged coconut? 🥥

Well in an effort to reduce waste and get every single bit of flavor out of that rum-Negroni aged coconut, I decided to make a syrup out of it. It’s definitely more coconut forward but still has hints of that Jamaican rum and Campari - but the question is… what should I make out of it?? Drop your suggestions below and I’ll make it this week!

Cheers y’all.
