Is this the official cocktail of #ValentinesDay? ❤️‍🔥

I love me a good classic cocktail and also love that this one is making a resurgence considering the recipe dates back to the late 1800s. All the flavors here play so well together, the brightness of the lemon, fruitiness of the raspberries and texture of the egg white is rounded out by the ever classic fordsgin. If you haven’t made it before, tonight seems like a great night to do so. Oh and maybe you should make two 😘

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!

Pink Linen

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!

Gibson Martini

Oh the weather outside is… weather? Wait, how does it go?

I know we just did a classic martini but when it comes to martini variations, this one is my absolute favorite. This recipe is simple, elegant and perfect after a long day. Enjoy this one next to the fire and bundle up with a Christmas movie.

PS. For every “oh boo hoo, you wasted some and spilled liquor everywhere” or “what a mess” comment, I’ll be donating $5 to my kids’ college funds. I know it’s coming 😄

Army & Navy

Idk what took me so long to make this classic.

This is the Army & Navy - I’ve had a bottle of orgeat in my fridge for the last six months and I don’t use it nearly enough. Luckily I got some inspo from notjustbartender (peep that tin flip in the beginning 😬) and finally put that orgeat to good use. This cocktail is simple to make and the flavors work so well together. Definitely worth a try!

Bantha Milk Fizz

A long time ago... In a city far, far away, a six year old boy watched his first @starwars film and was instantly hooked just like many of those before him.

I grew up watching these films over and over again and waited in line for the midnight showing of the prequels and the new series. I collected the toys, wore the shirts, etc. Since tonight is the official release of #TheRiseofSkywalker - I figured I’d honor my favorite series of all time with a boozy take on that subtle beverage with the cult following — BLUE MILK.

Believe it or not, ice is arguably one of the most important ingredients in a cocktail, so what’s the big deal about clear ice?

Y’all know how much I love to #partner with local spirits and I’m happy to bring you another original recipe with my good friends over at sutlerspiritsco- If you’ve never had it before, the gin itself is considered a contemporary or ‘western’ style gin which means its more citrus-forward than a traditional gin.
.
This cocktail is a bit of a departure from my usual, spirit forward cocktails because wanted to bring something a little fruitier, vegetal and balanced to the palate, while still letting the Sutler’s Gin shine through all the other complex flavors. Really enjoyed making this one and hope you try it out. (FYI, the juice can be bought off the shelf, no need for a fancy juicer, unless you really want to)
