Hey at least I can admit when I f**k up, right?
In an effort to do a bit more research, I want to share the incredible history behind an iconic tiki cocktail: the zombie. Created by Don the Beachcomber (and NOT Trader Vic — thanks to everyone who pointed that out). This classic tiki cocktail is as full of history as it is rum. I hope y’all found this video as informative as I did.
Now… who wants to know the recipe to Don’s Mix? Should I make a zombie in the next video? Comment below.
Cheers y’all.
Yeah, yeah, you’ve probably heard of a Tequila Sunrise, but what about a Tequila MOONRISE?
Next up on our locally-inspired series with @herradurateq is the wonderful Nikki Fairman (@nikkifairman) with her take on a sunrise. Bonus points: the cocktail looks like the SC state flag 👏🏾
“This drink is inspired by all the beautiful twilight we enjoy in Charleston. What could be better than watching the moonrise from one of our beautiful beaches? The exquisite richness and underlining notes of vanilla in the Herradura Ultra are complemented by the round floral tartness of the Edisto Red Limes, add the gentle violet perfume and you’ve got a cocktail that drinks like a memory.”
Mmm… nice and toasty.
Fall and cool weather is just around the corner to create the perfect stirred tequila recipe just for the occasion. Check it out below, cheers y’all.
Today we’re making classic Palomas for #WorldPalomaDay
Everyone’s out here trying to complicate a Paloma when it couldn’t be simpler. If you can make a Batanga, you can make a Paloma. The addition of salt with the slight bitterness of the grapefruit brings out more of the sweet citrus notes of the grapefruit and rounds this cocktail. Combined with a blanco tequila (I used tequilaocho ), this is one of the most simple cocktails you can make, especially for this #MDW.
The perfect Paloma doesn’t exis……

👶🏽 Given some of the lack of sleep we’ve been getting lately, I figured I’d whip something up to fix that.

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
You asked for more Paloma riffs, I gotchu!
This one subs the traditional salt rim with olive brine and it works SO well with the grapefruit in this recipe. Saline and aperitivos rend to accentuate the citrus notes and in this case, it brings out some of the grapefruit in Salers. Hope yall enjoy this one, it’d be a good one to batch.
Just because Summer is over doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy Elderflower Gin and Tonics with a splash of Campari.

Just remember to pace yourself with this one 😏
How’s everyone’s #DryJanuary going? Or are yall still #TeamTinyCocktails?
Which tiny cocktail should I do next? 🍸
A cocktail worthy to celebrate National Rosa Tequila Day.
We’ve created a recipe which highlights Calirosa - a tequila aged for 30 days in red wine barrels which gives it its unique pink hue along with adding notes of strawberry, honey and oak. This recipe is meant to be enjoyed with friends and its a perfect drink to bust out at your next pool party.
Cheers y’all!
What can I say, I’m a sucker for olives in my spritz.
