Ube Daiquiri

Another Filipino-inspired recipe for your feed 🇵🇭

Daiquiris have a special place in my heart, but not as much as the flavors of ube and calamansi. These two ingredients are staples in Filipino culture. When I was growing up in the Philippines, the go-to citrus wasn’t lemon or lime, it was calamansi. If you havent had it before, think of it as a cross between an orange, kumquat, and lime. Heavily citrusy with a sour back-end. Together with an Agricole from my friends at @highwirechs and a funky Jamaican rum from @hampdenestaterum - this recipe was a winner. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Cheers y’all.

PIŃA VERDE

Alright @notjustabartender, you convinced me…

Some people are out there hoarding their Green Chartreuse and some of us are using it as a base spirit 😂 This one is like if a Piña Colada and a Chartreuse Swizzle had a baby and served it over crushed ice in a Coco Lopez can. A big thank you Erick Castro-Diaz (@hungrybartender) for this spec. Absolutely incredible.

Queen Peach Crush

Here’s your Friday night in a glass.

This one is a little more involved but I promise it’s worth it. When it comes to crushable tiki-style cocktails, this is it right here. With the addition of peach, this might just be the perfect end to summer cocktails.

Coffee Infused Kingston Negroni

Coffee + Jamaican Rum + #NegroniWeek seems like a winning combo, right?

I’ve been wanting to use this pour over stand from Farmhouse Pottery for a cocktail and just haven’t found the right occasion for it…. UNTIL NOW. If you haven’t had the combo of coffee + Campari, it's a match made in heaven so you gotta try this one out.

#ProTip : if you find this a little too bitter for your taste, add a pinch of salt and thank me later! Cheers y’all.

Brûlée Caipirinha

An easy twist on classic Caipirinha, saúde!

This is the national drink of Brazil and I don’t want to ruffle any feathers, so…. Want it more traditional? Leave out the lime wedge + torch all together. Want it even easier than that? Don’t worry about shaking it, just stir it like the locals do! Cheers y’all.

The Dark 'N Stormy

Do you know how the Dark ’n Stormy got its name? It’s credited to a sailor who saw this drink and proclaimed that it was “the color of a cloud only a fool or a dead man would sail under.” Two ingredients. That’s all that’s required to pull off a combo that’s rich, fizzy, sweet, spicy, and satisfying - you’re dang right it’s perfect for this hot summer weather. Cheers y’all.

Tropikalia

This is recipe is made with a unique spirit I received this recently called Trakal which is made in Patagonia with native ingredients. They use local apple and pear varietals to create the base alcohol and work with local communities to hand-pick seven native herbs and four native berries. Figured why not add more fruit and make a tiki-style cocktail and this one worked out perfectly.
