Strawberry Black Manhattan
Let’s put that strawberry syrup to good use! 🍓
Amaro and strawberries are a flavor combo you need to try. The balance of sweet, bitter and fruity is always incredible. I used Cardamaro for this recipe but feel free to use an Amari of your choice. You can’t go wrong.
Cheers y’all.
Amaro Sour
Amaro sours should be the OFFICIAL after-dinner drink of 2025.
Yeah you heard me, if you’re a fan of Amari, you’re going to love using it as the base spirit. Its the perfect balance of sweet, sour and bitter. Bonus points that it’s a digestivo and it’s the perfect cocktail to have after dinner.
Let me know what other amaro base cocktails you’re making in the comments.
Cheers y’all.
[Improved] Azalea
⛳️🏌🏻 It’s time we make the official drink of @themasters… but better…
The original Azalea recipe calls for lemonade but I wanted to reimagine this drink as a true sour and use some higher end ingredients like maple grenadine and a real maraschino cherry. The key here is to add a bit more dilution to the build so make sure to crack the ice to get more length to the drink itself.
Cheers y’all.
Wisconsin Old Fashioned
It’s time to finally try the Wisconsin Old Fashioned 🥃
I don’t think I know of any other classic cocktail thats so heavily disputed by an entire region. I’ve been drinking old fashioned’s for a while now and always have preferred them… the old fashioned way (ps. This is how the drink got its name - spirit, bitters, sugar + water). Wisconsinites will always slide into the comments section asking where the muddled orange and cherries are, so today we’re going to try it out.
Have you revisited this lately, what are your thoughts?
Thanks to @highproofpreacher for the new HPP challenge coin 🥃
La Louisiane
Meet the Vieux Carré’s American Cousin, La Lousiane.
Here’s another stirred cocktail with roots in Louisiana. This recipe first appeared in 1937 and was the house cocktail at the historic New Orleans restaurant of the same name. It’s a rye-forward cousin to the Vieux Carré and still maintains the delicate balance despite the addition of rye and absinthe.
This is one you’ve got to try, cheers y’all.
The Cherry Spelling Bee
Let's be honest... luxardousa maraschino cherries are like the icing on a bourbon cocktail cake 🍒🍸
The Cucumber Basil Aviation
Picked up these unique martini glasses today and thought I should do a couple experiments… you know, for science.
Yule's A Ho Ho!
🎅🏻🎄 Its the holiday season and that means I get to come up with THREE craft cocktail recipes for our Christmas party this weekend! Allow me to introduce the first one, if you like mint-chocolate and Old Fashioned cocktails then this is the recipe for you! PS. Huge thanks to @jimbeamofficial for partnering up with me this year!
Final Word
Its a classic, but let’s elevate it, shall we? #ad21+
Together with my friends over at empress1908gin, we put together a spin on a traditional last word using Empress Gin with a slight Mezcal rinse it give it a touch of smokiness to compliment the herbaceous qualities of this cocktail. Hope y’all enjoy this one!
Together with my friends at millerhighlife, we’ve created a new cocktail to kick off the season. Combining the #ChampagneOfBeers with the flavors bourbon, maple, cinnamon and lemon to create a fall Radler that is perfect for the season. Give this recipe a try this season and let us know what you think below!
Cheers y’all!
