Deepfake Irish Coffee

It’s like an Irish Coffee, but not.🍀☕️ 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.

Coquito Colada

It’s #NationalCoquitoDay tomorrow so let’s get you prepared! #ad

Wh
at happens when you combine TWO of Puerto Rico’s most iconic cocktails? The Piña Colada is arguably Puerto Rico’s most famous contribution to the cocktail world. Created sometime during the 1950s, its exact origins are often debated. But we’d all be remiss if the infamous Coquito didn’t enter the conversation, which origin is ubiquitous with Puerto Rican culture - after all, there’s an entire DAY dedicated to this iconic drink. I think we can all agree the best version is made with Puerto Rico’s legendary rum, Ron del Barrilito.

Cheers y’all.

Eggnog Cream Float

Eggnog cocktails don’t have to be boring y’all, especially not with a salted hazelnut cold foam 😳

Together with my friends at @maolamilk, we made a cocktail that you can enjoy to ease into the holiday season. The secret is in the salted hazelnut cold foam made with #MaolaMilk’s rich eggnog combined with hazelnut liqueur and sea salt. This is whipped and then integrated into the base cocktail which has herbal sweet notes from the amaro and Angostura then combined with crème de cacao to give you a rich, yet balanced cocktail.

The Egg Cream Fizz

I’ve put together a twist on a traditional Egg Cream. Never heard of one? Well, it it originated among Eastern European Jewish immigrants in New York City. It usually consists of cream, chocolate syrup and seltzer/soda water. Thats right… it contains NO EGGS... until now. I’ve combined this classic with a similar technique to a Ramos gin fizz and the results were pretty epic. See the recipe below.

Pink Squirrel

A cocktail to match this weather ⛈️

I’ve never made anything with this liqueur before.

Heck, I had not even heard of it until I picked up a bottle a couple weeks ago. This is creme de noyaux, it’s a liqueur made from bitter almonds, apricot pits and a couple other botanicals… as it turns out, it’s delicious. VERY similar to amaretto but with a dark cherry twist to it. Last week, I asked y’all what I should make with this cocktail and the overwhelming response was this Pink Squirrel, an easy equal parts cocktail.

Honestly, this recipe is like a cheat code for a dessert cocktail. It legit tastes like a dark cherry, vanilla ice cream. It’s rich, sweet and drinks like a milkshake. Enjoy this one sparingly friends :)

Cheers y’all.

The Orange Sweeney

🍊Orange-you all glad we’re halfway through the week? #dadjokes... I’ve got em.

I’ve teamed up with kirkandsweeney to give you my take on a [boozy] childhood favorite (recipe below)! Inspired by the flavor combo of oranges and cream - the 12 year old Kirk and Sweeney rum’s bold notes of caramel and and sweet vanilla is just KILLER in this cocktail. Oh and you’re probably going to want to make more than one 😉
