Let’s see if we can make a Margarita from the garden 🍅🍃

Y’all know how much I love trying to incorporate fresh and savory ingredients into a cocktail. Together with my friends at @lalospirits, I was able to make make a margarita using some fresh ingredients from the garden. This recipe is perfect with LALO Tequila Blanco because it highlights its bright/vegetal notes and gets some savory/sweet/sour umami notes from the tomato. This is further enhanced by the vegetal notes from the basil and chile liqueur and a little kick from fresh cracked black pepper. This is the perfect margarita for the Spring/Summer and you need to try it out.

Cheers y’all.

Here for the savory martini riffs 🍸🙋🏾‍♂️

#ad 21+ Together with my friends at @finlandiavodka_us, I’m going to show you how to add a bit more savory olive notes into your martinis by a process known as “fat washing”. Fat washing using alcohol (in this case #FinlandiaVodka) to extract the subtle flavors out of fat soluble products. Today we’re going to be infusing our vodka with both extra virgin olive oil and bay leaf. This recipe, paired with this dry vermouth produces an exceptionally savory and delightful martini. A couple drops of EVOO to finish just gives it that silky smooth, rich mouthfeel that just puts this one over the top.

Have you ever tried fat washing? Let me know what you think!

Cheers y’all.

Elevate your at-home martini game 🍸

A martini service is my favorite way to serve up a martini for 2. It lets everyone pick and choose their own variation and everyone leaves happy. Feel free to scale this recipe into a bigger batch since this would be great as a freezer door martini as well.

Cheers y’all

Yeah you’ve done the Espresso Martini, but what about an Espresso Manhattan?

Together with angosturahouse, we’ve created an easy sipping, holiday inspired cocktail that’s sure to get you through the season. It combines the flavors of cocoa, coffee and peppermint which is then rounded out with sweet vermouth to help balance the bourbon in this recipe. Make sure to put this one up on your menu at your holiday party tonight. Cheers y’all!
