The ultimate nightcap doesn’t exi……This recipe combines the base formula for an Old Fashioned combined with flavors inspired by sleepy-time tea, which contains a blend of herbs that include chamomile and lemongrass. I further enhanced that flavor with honey and ginger to create the ultimate simple syrup perfect for #BedTime.

Together with angosturahouse, we’ve created the perfect stirred rye cocktail that marries flavors of cinnamon with their newest member of the bitters’ family: ANGOSTURA® cocoa bitters.
Now is a perfect time to get the fireplace going and make this recipe. Cheers y’all!
This late 1800’s classic combines a traditional whiskey sour but adds a red wine floater. It’s as beautiful as it is delicious and its a great gateway to wine drinkers who “hate” bourbon. Give this one a shot!

Read MoreFall is officially here, so how does a peanut butter, banana, hazelnut, coffee and chocolate cocktail sound to you?
Well, you’re in luck. I’ve teamed up with screwballwhiskey to create a cocktail thats somewhere between a chocolate egg cream and a bourbon fizz. The secret is in the banana, hazelnut-infused cold brew amaro created by my talented friend @schenzelwashington. Its constructed by steeping coffee grounds with banana liqueur, hazelnut extract and amaro for 6-12 hours then fine straining into a vessel of your choice. I can’t think of a more perfect accompaniment to the flavors in peanut butter.
What do you get when you mix bourbon + ginger + lemon + bitters?

Read MoreI’m excited to create a custom cocktail recipe using their unique whiskies finished with a charred oak spiral. Each spiraled shaped oak stave provides a one-of-a-kind flavor profile to the whiskey and imparts an aromatic finish to every bottle. The specific oak spiral in this rye adds notes of smoke, caramel and coffee which pairs perfectly with the flavors in this Amaro and is accentuated by the coffee bitters. Check out the recipe below!

This recipe is for all you bitter/sweet/strong cocktail fans out there. Benedictine really brings this recipe to the next level as the dry vermouth rounds the cocktail out. Its a great balance of flavors and is relatively simple to make. I also recently received some smoked orange wheels from the folks over at @smokinconnie and not only do they look great, they add another dimension of smoky aroma and slight flavor to the drink.

Sidenote: Any other creatives with a kiddo or two burning the midnight oil lately? I know with all the madness with this pandemic, I’m personally spending most of my time being productive once everyone in the house goes to sleep. I know some of you are in the same boat, but if you have any tips/tricks on how to manage your time balancing work and the family while we’re all at home, I’d love to hear them. Figured we could all learn from each other during this time. Drop a line in the comments!
