Up the Chimney

I saw this at @target and immediately thought it was for smoking my cocktails… is that weird? Anyone know what this is really for? …either way it doesn’t matter because this drink ended up being delicious.

The Laddie Rob Roy
…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.

’Tis the season after all, I’ve come up with the perfect recipe to go along with this bottle of Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey. This single grain, Irish whiskey is first aged in oak then finished in Oloroso sherry casks.
Buck and Cover
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 Ambrose
Its no secret I love experimenting with new ingredients to create unique and original cocktails. I feel as though with the resurgence of the craft cocktail scene, cocktail syrups have been all the rage lately. I met Max Messier during @bevconchs in Charleston this past month, and thats when he introduced me to the @cocktailandsons Spiced Demerara Syrup. He explained it contained flavors such as baking spices, coriander and peppercorns, combined with 100% Louisiana cane sugar. needless to say, I had to take this bottle home, this was one of two of my creations…
Ahumado Old Fashioned
Give me an Old Fashioned, but make it with a smoky tequila 🥃
I’m excited to introduce y’all to the newest offering from - Patrón Ahumado - and make a classic Old Fashioned with it. #patronahumado is made in small batches using a low and slow roasting technique of the piñas underground with mesquite for at least seven days. Agave is then crushed using the unique 100% tahona wheel distillation process. The reposado tastes sweet, smoky, and oaky with notes of black pepper and hints of vanilla and caramel — it takes a classic Old Fashioned to a new level but can also just be enjoyed neat or on the rocks. If you’re a fan of smoked spirits, you need to get your hands on this bottle ASAP.
Cheers y’all.
Monina
🥃🔥 Looking for another why to smoke cocktails? Look no further than The Char Board from Whiskeywood. They recently sent this over to me to try out and I’m blown away at its portability, effectiveness and especially that depth of smokey flavor it gives to your cocktail. The three ‘flavors’ of wood include: ‘Apple Orchard’, ‘Peanut Butter and Chocolate’ and my favorite so far, ‘Grandma’s Cookies’ — that being said, this cocktail is named after my grandmother, Mona. I think you can guess which smoke stick I picked.
The Choke and Smoke
Ok, 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 😉
Islay Have Another
Did someone say #happyfallyall?
In partnership with @laphroaig - Here's a simple recipe for those of you looking for a fall cocktail that's perfect for any occasion. It brings the traditional fall spices and combines them with a mix of a caramel apple and banana bread. Laphroaig is the star of the show here, the flavors pair perfectly with the smoky, peaty flavor of this famous Islay Scotch whisky
Apple Wood Smoked Demerara Syrup
Want to take your Old Fashioned to the next level? Why not elevate your traditional sugar cubes to a an applewood smoked demerara simple syrup. Not only does the demerara provide more of a caramel-like flavor than the traditional refined white sugar cubes, the apple wood brings a fruity smokiness to the party. Make this and you’ll never use sugar cubes in your Old Fashioned again.
Home on the Range
Hey you, lets unwind a bit, shall we?
Together with my friends at drinkhighwest I wanted to take you to a place that disconnects you from the daily work grind so I created a cocktail to take you away from the treadmill of everyday life. So close your eyes for a sec and imagine a scene under the starry night sky, fire roaring, surrounded by your closest friends with a cocktail in hand… this is THAT cocktail. After all, High West is more about the spirit itself & giving a taste of the west -- exploration & adventure
Please drink responsibly. Cheers y’all..
Smoked Apple Manhattan
Apple wood finished rye + apple wood smoked, who’s in? 🍎💨
Just some #BTS comments: I challenged myself to shoot this all in one take while the camera was on a motorized slider, needless to say, I made a lot of Manhattans to make this video perfect haha hope y’all enjoy!
Shelby Street Sour
The atomized mezcal is 🔑
Sharing a recipe I created for the menu over at the new bar at claytonandcrume last month. Think of it like an elevated margarita. If you’re ever in Louisville, make sure to stop by the flagship store and let the talented @itslesliebryan make it for you! Happy Friday y’all.
Strawberry Amazing
Cue the slow jams, you’ll be wanting to make this #ValentinesDay inspired Negroni-riff TONIGHT.
The strawberry infused Campari brings that strawberry flavor to the party and complements the fruity notes of this smooth Reposado. Combined with Creme de Cacao and a touch of sea salt, this cocktail provides you a salted, dark chocolate-covered strawberry…. in a glass. Your partner will thank you… you’re welcome <3
A Noble Hospitality
This cocktail, A Noble Hospitality, won a cocktail competition to become Charleston Wine + Food’s signature cocktail back in 2017. It was created by my friend Morgan Hurley of Mex1 and has all the elements I love in a great balanced cocktail and flavor profiles of smoke, bitter, fruity and sweet. You will want to make this one ASAP!
