Hope yā€™all give it a try and let me know what you think!

Ok, so Iā€™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 ā€˜Amaroā€™ 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 Iā€™ve had the honor of meeting. This cocktail recipe is a from his book ā€˜Amaroā€™ ā€” definitely worth the pickup, even if its not personally signed like my copy šŸ˜‰

Sunday Scaries
Sunday Scaries

The cure for all those Sunday scaries šŸ’€šŸ„ƒ

Together with my friends at @blackenedamericanwhiskey, we took the traditional elements of a classic Boulevardier but enhanced it with caramelized banana and some torched absinthe to create something unique and familiar. BLACKENED American Whiskey provides a great base that provides both depth and richness to this already delicious recipe. Let me know what yā€™all think if you make it! #ad21+

Cheers yā€™all.

Deepfake Irish Coffee
Deepfake Irish Coffee

Itā€™s like an Irish Coffee, but not.šŸ€ā˜•ļø This enhanced version of the classic is still very easy to make and only takes a few more ingredients to execute. Chicory and coffee have always been a match made in heaven but together with an eight year old Irish Whisky like thequietmanwhiskey it just brings it to a whole other level. The notes of sweet vanilla and oak that is imparted from the barrel is on full display in this version of Irish coffee, only to be accentuated with a salted caramel foam to balance out the bitterness from the coffee.

Now cheers, and #HappyStPatricksDay.

Leche Flan ni Nanay Old Fashioned
Leche Flan ni Nanay Old Fashioned

An ode to my Filipino grandmother (Nanay) šŸ„ƒšŸ‡µšŸ‡­

You know when you try a particular food or drink it just takes you back to place and time in your life or childhood? This is it for me. This recipeā€™s flavors reminds me of my Nanay (Tagalog for ā€˜momā€™ - she was everyoneā€™s mom) and her famous leche flan. She would make this recipe for every special occasion and it was always a crowd favorite. What set it apart was the incredible amount of balance in flavors, between the massive amount of lime zest in the condensed milk custard (think souped up key lime) and a caramel sauce that was just brought past caramelization, bringing a sweet, but nutty element to table. Iā€™m honored to be able to create something to pay homage to those flavor profiles and the nostalgia that comes along with it.

Iā€™ve been covering the chswineandfood going on seven years, but this year but I knew this year was special when I was asked to be a participant for a signature dinner with my friends at @pinkbellies and the world famous @pawkhrua. I knew this had to make on the menu along with some other recipes that I canā€™t wait to show yā€™all. Our event is tomorrow, so make sure youā€™re following along on the accounts mentioned above and chswineandfood. If youā€™re going to make it to any other CHSWF events, let me know which ones!

Cheers yā€™all!

Cinnamon Apple Old Fashioned
Cinnamon Apple Old Fashioned

This is recipe is fall in a glass for this yearā€™s #OldFashionedWeek šŸ„ƒ

We, I created a variation on an Old Fashioned that will be an instant hit this season. It combines the familiar pairing of apples and cinnamon and combines them with the rich and complex notes of the 94 proof #ElijahCraig Small Batch bourbon, providing for one of the easiest sipping cocktails youā€™ll make this this season.

If youā€™re unfamiliar with Old Fashioned Week, itā€™s an annual celebration of this classic Bourbon cocktail, featuring events in bars and online. As an added bonus, the funds raised for this campaign will be donated to a great cause: the Southern Smoke Foundation
