Last but certainly not least — Cocktail #3 for the @holycityhandcraft // @brothersandcraft holiday social tonight plays on our Christmas season heartstrings. Made with local @stripedpigdistillery spiced rum, the fall spices infused into the rum lends itself well to this festive, tiki-inspired cocktail.

Read MoreAlright @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.
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.
TIKI-inspired Boulevardier? Yep.
Together with coopercraft, my good buddy Jordan aka @highproofpreacher and myself have teamed up to create two takes on a Boulevardier. Both recipes will be using similar ingredients in pineapple and sherry but they will be vastly different in flavor and texture but very similar in that they’re both absolutely delicious.
This is my take on a tiki-inspired cross between a Boulevardier and a Jungle Bird. This recipe is both SHAKEN and STIRRED. The initial base is a Boulevardier-riff that combines Oloroso sherry and the 100-proof coopercraft Barrel Reserve to provide something familiar but not overly sweet to compliment the topping (think Garibaldi). This orgeat, salted-pineapple foam is literally the icing on the cake. This topping is shaken to showcase the pineapple’s natural ability to foam when aerated (shaken) providing for light and fluffy top and a strong, complementary base to match. You NEED to make this recipe this week and make sure to head on over to @highproofpreacher to check out his coffee/pineapple riff!
Simple math: Rum + Passionfruit = ❤️🔥

Kick off the weekend with a mezcal recipe to celebrate the dead.
I’ve created a cocktail recipe fitting to celebrate Dia de Los Muertos and here it is. Hints of spice and tropical fruit balance well with the subtle smokiness of this mezcal to provide a refreshing cocktail with a spicy kick. Salud!

Read MoreHow about a cozy winter cocktail for this Friday Eve?
I’m excited this new year to create a cocktail recipe featuring this unique whiskey. If you’re unfamiliar with Legent, it starts as a Kentucky Straight Bourbon with the Beam classic family recipe and is aged in wine and sherry casks before being blended with more Kentucky Straight Bourbon by Shinji Fukuyo, fifth-ever Chief Blender of Suntory, the founding house of Japanese whisky. The result is a perfectly balanced yet complex and layered whiskey with a bright, smooth, unexpectedly long finish.
The good news for y’all is that you can get it NOW on via www.drizly.com! Check out my stories for the link. Hope y’all enjoy this recipe as much as I did.
Who doesn’t love a good bramble - this one has got some tiki inspiration and is perfect for the summer!

Read MoreThis 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.
