A bramble to match the season? Yes please.
We created a festive take on a classic bramble. Try this one for your next holiday party! Cheers y’all!
slaps barrel* this baby has 30-40 cocktails in it and it gets better over time.
I’ve been meaning to do a barrel aged cocktail recipe for a while on here. There are so many benefits to barrel aging your cocktails instead of just batching (video coming soon!). But the true appeal is the mellowness that the oak brings to the [cocktail party]. Feel free to experiment with some of your favorite stirred cocktails but make sure not to use anything with citrus.
I kept this video pretty simple and didn’t use exact measurements, I figure using the actual bottles itself (full bottles + half bottles) would be more approachable and actually get y’all to do this at home. This recipe only fills up 3.6L of this 5L barrel so feel free to scale up to fill to the brim. Remember that smaller barrels have more surface area than the tradition 55 gallon barrels so this will age at a much faster rate (2-3 weeks should suffice), anything more than 2-3 months [if it lasts that long], should be transferred to a glass bottle.
If you’re looking for a barrel, check out the link on my bio site under ‘bar tools’.
Cheers and happy barrel aging!

Did you hear? Its #WorldCocktailDay!
.
I had an opportunity to receive a bottle of a unique California Brandy by @jeffreymbell (@pdthongkong)and @thomaspastuszak(@thenomadhotel) - two very well known names in the cocktail/wine/spirits industry. Bertoux Brandy (@bertouxbrandy) is meant to be as sippable as it is perfect for any cocktail - So I figured, why not try a riff on a classic Brandy cocktail - The Sidecar!
We found the perfect cocktail to kick off the weekend.
Charleston-based photographer and mixologist Miguel Buencamino of Holy City Handcraft (@holycityhandcraft) whipped up a jumbo Manhattan cocktail, complete with a giant “cherry,“ at the @gardenandgun offices. The recipe below provides 20-25 servings of this classic cocktail and can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge or freezer. Cheers and happy Friday! 🥃
Please note: This is a great way to enjoy a batched cocktail to share with friends, but we don’t recommend consuming alone.
I’ll be traveling to Jalisco, Mexico to visit the renowned Patròn Hacienda and Distillery tomorrow!
.
I hope you follow along as I tour the grounds, distillery and show you how this tequila is literally brought from farm to table. To top it all off, I’ll be there to show y’all who is crowned the winner of this year’s #MOTY!
.
Anyways, while you’re waiting for all of that action, feel free to make a recipe I’ve been working on using Patròn’s Extra Anejo Tequila and let me know what you think!
A balanced blend of rich flavors that elevate every dish. Perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to your culinary creations.

Simple Math: 🍫+ 🥃 = ❤️

It feels to get back to playing around with some basic cocktails but also playing around with some new video styles. I’m going to start to make a new Reel series and I’m trying to land on the format, would love to hear y’alls thoughts on this style (look/feel, music, voiceover, titles, etc). Let me know what else you’d want to see.

Today we’re resting a Negroni in a coconut… but not just any Negroni, this is a split-base rum Negroni using a Barbados rum ( + Jamaican rum ) to give us a funky but rounded flavor. If you’ve never had either of those rums, you’ll really want to get your hands on a bottle or sample to try. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever had and really puts this recipe together by bringing those tropical notes of coconut, banana and pineapple INSIDE a coconut 🤯
Stay tuned for Part II coming in a few days!
The perfect Paloma doesn’t exis……

…and a partridge in a pear tree.
Happy holiday season y’all. Together with my friends at bruichladdich I’ve created a take on the classic Rob Roy. This takes The Classic Laddie, an unpeated scotch whisky, and combines it with the flavors of spiced pear and walnut to create a cocktail that is easy, delicious, and beautiful. 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!
Unveil the rich and robust flavor of our Bloody Amber Road. A tantalizing blend that exceeds expectations, leaving a lasting impression with every sip. Indulge in the essence of expert craftsmanship and pure sophistication. Cheers to unparalleled quality.

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!
An espresso martini crossed with a mint chocolate Irish coffee? Sure, I got you
