Is this the perfect after-dinner cocktail?
Here’s a recipe from the late 1880s that I love because there aren’t enough sherry cocktails in the world. The Adonis is equal parts Fino sherry and sweet vermouth. It’s rich, fruity and not overly heavy, all these fortified wines act like a digestivo, which makes for a perfect after-dinner cocktail.
Movie night with the fam. Homemade Maple New York Sours seemed appropriate.

Well… between that and @tales - I’m here in New Orleans for the week just a couple blocks away from where the original cocktail originated, The Tropical Isle (@thetropicalisle). After a 2 year hiatus, #TOTC2022 is back in full force! I’m excited to get out there and see my industry peeps and use this time as a way to learn and network. If you’re here in NOLA this week, make sure to hit me up! Hope to run into y’all!
Who remembers what H.A.G.S. stands for? 🙋🏽♂️ Today is the #SummerSolstice and marks the first day of summer folks! Let’s kick off the weekend with another new [and refreshing] recipe. #HAGS
Read MorePisco is such an underrated spirit. Usually produced in Peru or Chile, its distilled from fermented grapes (about 16lbs per 750ml bottle, in fact). @barsolpisco in particular is produced using Torontel grapes and has floral notes of jasmine and magnolia -- perfect for this recipe!
Read MoreOk, so I’ll admit I was a big btparsons fan before, but I had the honor of taking his Amaro class at BenConCHS and was completely blown away. Luckily, Charleston, SC was a stop on his ‘Amaro’ book tour and I had the opportunity to pick his brain (again) at @edmundsoast while he was in town. He was knowledgeable, down-to-earth and one of the coolest authors I’ve had the honor of meeting. This cocktail recipe is a from his book ‘Amaro’ — definitely worth the pickup, even if its not personally signed like my copy 😉

In #partnership with Laphroaig- We’re gearing up for Holiday Party season, are you?
This year, I wanted to create a recipe that’s not only easy to make, but also something that you can bring to your next holiday potluck or holiday office party. The flavors involve a rich sweetness from the Pedro Ximenez-style sherry, which pairs well with the peaty notes found in Laphroaig Select. The below recipe is also easy to batch - it's perfect for any holiday parties this year!
Recently had a chance to check out the gorgeous thevictorsocialclub and try their Cuban-inspired cocktail menu. They also were kind enough to provide their cocktail recipe. Check out the space at Hutson Alley when you get a chance and stay tuned for more!

Nacho. Cheese. Margarita. 😳
Thanks to @doritos and @empiricalcph, we’re now able to add a nacho cheese flavor to any cocktail. I asked y’all what I should make with this spirit and I figured we’d start off easy with a Margarita, it just makes sense after all, right? After all, queso + margaritas, what could go wrong?

So I can’t be the only one that gets lost down the rabbit hole that is @youtube.
My favorite genre of videos are any of those that I can learn from. I recently was looking for some inspiration for a Repeal Day cocktail and stumbled across @how2drink. If you haven’t checked out Greg’s channel, you absolutely should - its educational and super entertaining.
Anyways, I made this pre-Prohibition cocktail based on his recipe and you can bet it won’t be the last one I make from his channel - I’ll post the link in my stories #videographygoals
If you like daiquiris then you’ll love this recipe.
It’s the national cocktail of Martinique and Guadeloupe. ‘Ti’ is an abbreviation for “petite” (aka small) - so the cocktail name translates to ‘small punch’. It’s all built in the glass and as easy to drink as it is to make. Today we’re making a spin on it by adding light herbal elements via “Végétal de la Grande Chartreuse” aka “the elixir” - its the purest form of the original Chartreuse out there (and actually readily available).
Happy Thanksgiving! Why not celebrate with a little Turkey from the OG himself, #jimmyrussell. Here’s a quick and easy @wildturkey 101 Old Fashioned to get you through the day 😉
Side note: I’m breaking in the home bar with this first photo, I’m obsessed with the lighting in here. It’s perfect considering this will double as a studio as well.
The holidays always remind of the fall/winter flavors and spices that go into everything we eat and imbibe during the season. I recently #partnered up with 1792 bourbon to create a custom cocktail that will tie in all these flavors into a simple cocktail… Can you keep a secret? It has to do with the spiced panela syrup. Infused with flavors that remind me of fall and winter, it ties in well with 1792 Bourbon due to the bourbon’s high-rye content and spice-rich notes, alongside vanilla and caramel. Check out the recipe below and let me know what cocktail reminds you of the holidays! #1792 and #1792Bourbon

If you’ve never put olives in your Spritz, you’re missing out. I want to show y’all the versatility of luxardousa’s Bitter Bianco by using it in classic, aperitivo-forward cocktails such as a traditional spritz.

If you’ve never had a Bianco Venetian Spritz, its has notes of bitter citrus and a bright/fruity finish, try this one out!

We created a recipe thats perfect not just for #halloween2022 but the rest of the holiday season as well. Using QMixers delicious and well-balanced ginger beer along with some black rum, this riff on a classic has a secret weapon in the homemade pumpkin spice tincture (recipe below). The cinnamon and fire bring just another complex element to this cocktail but it is entirely optional. Cheers y’all!
