Mint Syrup
Mint Syrup

I hear there’s some sort of 🐎 race tomorrow and a certain cocktail *cough* mint julep *cough* that requires mint syrup. Let me show you how easy that is to make.

Stay tuned later today so I can show you how to make the easiest julep you’ve ever made. Just in time for Derby Day!

“A lighter rendition of the classic, the Alive and Well is more of an “orange” Negroni. aromatic, floral, herbaceous, and slightly fruity backed with Campari’s signature bitterness; it’s a fun, late-summer sipper.”

Don’t forget you can grab this cocktail at @beautiful_south__ this week! Cheers y’all!

Alright you heard the man.

If you’re not familiar, the Rosita is a Gaz modern classic in the same family as the Negroni. It’s lighter and more delicate, using tequila as the base spirit. If you’re a fan of Negronis or the bitter sweet flavor profile, you’re going to love this one.

Cheers y’all.

A cocktail to match this weather ⛈️

I’ve never made anything with this liqueur before.

Heck, I had not even heard of it until I picked up a bottle a couple weeks ago. This is creme de noyaux, it’s a liqueur made from bitter almonds, apricot pits and a couple other botanicals… as it turns out, it’s delicious. VERY similar to amaretto but with a dark cherry twist to it. Last week, I asked y’all what I should make with this cocktail and the overwhelming response was this Pink Squirrel, an easy equal parts cocktail.

Honestly, this recipe is like a cheat code for a dessert cocktail. It legit tastes like a dark cherry, vanilla ice cream. It’s rich, sweet and drinks like a milkshake. Enjoy this one sparingly friends :)

Cheers y’all.

A smokey and refreshing festive cocktail? Sure, why not?

I’ve created a cocktail thats sure to warm you up and cool you down at the same time. This takes The Classic Laddie, an unpeated, scotch whisky, combined with the flavors of rosemary and allspice with an aroma of smokey rosemary to create a cocktail that is as refreshing as it is smokey. Anyone can make this recipe, so make sure to give the gift of The Classic Laddie this holiday season by heading to the link in my bio!

The Brown Derby
The Brown Derby

Hope y’all are staying healthy! For those of you cooped up at home and have been asking for some easy cocktail recipes, I have some exciting news! I’ve yet again #partnered up with @cooperscraft to highlight some of the talented mixologists in Charleston, SC. In this five part series which I’m dubbing #CocktailsAtHome, each mixologist will be creating a bourbon cocktail from scratch that you can easily recreate at home. Now let’s get started shall we?
—
First up on this series is Anna Lazaridis (@annathegreek83) of Charleston, SC with a classic Brown Derby cocktail, its strong, tart, and sweet - or as Anna puts it: “With the sweetness of the honey and the tartness of the grapefruit, the Brown Derby is an excellent example of a simply well balanced cocktail. I incorporated thyme into the honey because we seem to have a lot of that on our hands😉” #pungame💪🏼

¡Happy #CincoDeMayo, mis amigos!
.
I’m happy to bring you one of the most unique recipes from the Copper Bar the @patron Hacienda last week. We liked it so much, both @highproofpreacher and I posted about it without even coordinating haha Thanks to our dude @gingerbartender for providing the recipe!
.
A little background: The Charreada is a rodeo-like tradition dating back to the arrival of Spanish horsemanship to Mexico in the 16th century. Once a competition between Haciendas, it is now performed by teams of professional charros and is an important touchstone of Mexican culture. So there’s your fun fact for the day - now get out there and enjoy this day respectfully and responsibly, salud!

Just because #CincoDeMayo is over doesn't mean we're done with Tequila cocktails.
.
If you're wondering about the "glassware" - its from the folks at @tossware, a stylish, 100% recyclable and BPA-free alternative to using those traditional plastic containers. I can see myself using this for cocktails at the beach or pool this summer and as a bonus, they're 100% sustainable as well. This is #notanad - but after trying the product a couple times, I thought it would be a great product to share with y'all. Fun fact: they are NOT dishwasher safe... as my wife and I recently found out :D

Who needs a white linen when you can make it pink?

Together with my friends over at empress1908gin, we put together a spin on a traditional White Linen with Empress Elderflower Rose Gin. Elderflower and cucumber have always been a match made in heaven and the addition in this cocktail is no exception. Hope y’all enjoy this one!

The Snaquiri aka Tiny Daiquiri
The Snaquiri aka Tiny Daiquiri

THE WORLD’S TINIEST DAIQUIRI 🍹

…lovingly nicknamed a ’Snaquiri’. This was the most requested cocktail for this #TinyCocktail series so I had to oblige. This rendition is made with fresh calamansi juice which is near and dear to my heart (since I am Filipino and all). If you haven’t had calamansi, I describe it as a cross between a bitter orange, lemon and yuzu. The addition of that grapefruit oil adds more of that citrus aroma but is optional.

NOTE: Replace “Parts” with Ounces below to make a full size Daiquiri.

Cheers y’all.
