Anomaly

THIS IS A TINY COCKTAIL 🍸🤏🏾

Called The Anomaly and it’s damn good.

It’s from the book Tiny cocktails by my buddy Tyler (@bon_vivantito). - it’s called an anomaly because it doesn’t follow the typical format for a classic cocktail structure. It’s part martini and part sour, but also stirred? The result is a balanced drink that has the makings of a light, but boozy martini with the bright freshness of a sour.

Author’s Note: “The Anomaly, as the name hints at, is one of those cocktails that deviates from classic cocktail structure. It has traces of both the martini and the sour in its balance of ingredients. Like the martini, it’s unmistakably boozy and light, but it has the freshness and balanced sweetness of a succulent sour. Anomaly matches neither template identically though. Instead, this sophisticated drink strikes a harmonious balance of fortifying spirit with sugar and acid, allowing the seamless pairing of smoky mezcal and tropical banana to take center stage. In a way, it’s a gateway cocktail to more spirituous cocktails. It’s easy to throw back, but do tread lightly: A few of these tiny yet bold libations and your legs might just turn into noodles.”

Cheers, y’all!

How's this for a cup o' cheer? If you have never made a @cognacusa cocktail during the holiday season, I've got you covered. For this recipe, I used a VS cognac which "merries" well with the subtle ingredients of banana liqueur and white creme de cacao. Adding a touch of rosemary syrup just rounds it all out and gives you a touch of that festive spirit. Cheers and Happy Holidays everyone!

Sunday Scaries

The cure for all those Sunday scaries 💀🥃

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 y’all think if you make it! #ad21+

Cheers y’all.

Ba’groni

Bananas + Campari = a match made in heaven.

“The Ba’Groni is using a spiced rum/aged rum blend, a touch of blanc vermouth and banana liqueur to round it out. I love bananas and rum and this makes it an easy sipping Negroni for #NegroniWeek

Don’t forget you can grab this cocktail at @frannieandthefox in @hotelemeline this week! Cheers y’all!
