Tembo Milk Punch
Fall weather calls for milk punches…
I’ve partnered with amarula_us to create a fall-themed cocktail that plays on a traditional unclarified brandy milk punch by adding a few flavors that’ll remind you of fall. If you haven’t heard of #Amarula, I can best describe it as cream liqueur but with sweet, nougaty caramel notes blended with a subtle citrus aroma. Just perfect with the recipe below. Cheers y’all! #ad21+
PSA: You can buy today on TerlatoSpirits.com, at Total Wine & More, or at a retailer near you!
Border Town
Throwing it back to this zesty shot with my friends at hennessy.
If you haven’t already - make sure to check out my IG stories and get a sneak peek at this year’s limited edition bottle of VSOP in collaboration with refikanadol - there’s a couple goodies in there that I’m excited to play around with! Let me know what y’all think.
Notorious F.I.G
’Tis the [fig] season here in the Lowcountry so why not make the best of it in an Old Fashioned?
Next up on the #FestiveOldFashioned series with is the talented, Meagan Cheek (meaganvision) with a fig inspired Old Fashioned that is as local as it it is seasonal. Check out his details below.
“Figs, allspice, brown sugar, maple syrup, and of course bourbon... what flavors could be more fitting for the holiday season? I wanted to feature figs because they often get a bad rap (pun intended). For this representation of the OG Old Fashioned I have chosen Old Forester 1920 for its warming winter flavors of cherry, vanilla, and graham cracker sweetness. The spirit is then infused at a low heat with dried figs rolled in a bit of brown sugar. Finish with a touch of allspice dram, maple syrup, and cherry bark vanilla bitters. Garnish with a fresh halved fig nestled in a big beautiful peel of winter grapefruit. If you don’t know, now you know!”
The Winter Coat
Bundle up, and grab your winter coat.
#ad Together with my friends at licor43usa, I’ve created a cocktail thats perfect for the season. It’s inspired by a creme brûlée and it just so happens that #Licor43 makes a `Creme Brûlée’ flavor as part of their indulgence trio lineup (other flavors include Horchata and Chocolate). This cocktail combines winter spices with bourbon and is then topped with caramelized sugar sitting atop an egg white foam.
Cheers y’all.
Apple Jack the Reaper
Apple season is here, you’re going to want to make this for your upcoming halloween party - Grim Reaper mug optional…
PS. I got this tiki mug from my friends over deathandcompany x tikilandtrading and immediately thought, it was so ON-BRAND for Death & Co.
Lakeside Maple Sour
For my toast, I recently had a stay at a lake house surrounded by large, beautiful maple trees that inspired this recipe. Cheers y’all.
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.
Season of Spice
With Laphroaig - Always having lived in the south and tropical weather, its always acceptable to make and consume tropical cocktail year-round - and yes that includes the Holidays ☃️🥃

Pomme Brulee Old Fashioned
It’s about time we brûlée some apples for an Old Fashioned.
We created an Old Fashioned thats sure to please this season. Flavors of cinnamon, caramelized sugar and apples play together perfectly with Rabbit Hole’s Dareringer bourbon, which is finished with PX sherry casks and has notes of oak, dried fruit and caramel.
This is one you need to make.
Cheers y’all!
The Laddie Rob Roy
…and a partridge in a pear tree.
Happy holiday season y’all. Together with my friends at bruichladdich I’ve created a take on the classic Rob Roy. This takes The Classic Laddie, an unpeated scotch whisky, and combines it with the flavors of spiced pear and walnut to create a cocktail that is easy, delicious, and beautiful. Anyone can make this recipe, so make sure to give the gift of The Classic Laddie this holiday season by heading to the link in my bio!
The Rock Hopper
An espresso martini crossed with a mint chocolate Irish coffee? Sure, I got you
’Tis the season after all, I’ve come up with the perfect recipe to go along with this bottle of Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey. This single grain, Irish whiskey is first aged in oak then finished in Oloroso sherry casks.
Striped Pumpkin Pie
Here’s another Thanksgiving cocktail for y’all… and here’s to hoping your bellies are as full as your hearts as you spend this time with your family and friends.
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.
Spiced Apple Spritz

Happy Birthday America! 🇺🇸Debuted in 1924, the Scofflaw Cocktail was named after the individuals who clandestinely sipped spirits during Prohibition.
Cable Knit
What can I say… Day 1 at gardenandgun JUBILEE was a BLAST. There was so much to see, do and not surprisingly; drink! The biggest surprise was the gorgeous @bladeandbowwhiskey horse trailer-turned mobile bar. It was commissioned by Garden and Gun and this was its first visit to explorecharleston! Swipe through to see the trailer or check out the Instagram story to take a peek inside the trailer.
Summer Fig Collins
What to do with fresh figs? I’ve got you covered. I recently had an opportunity to #partner up with unclevals to create a summer cocktail using their Botanical Gin - made with juniper, cucumber, lemon, sage and lavender. Its perfect for any summer sipper like a traditional Collins so why not incorporate some fresh figs 🙌🏾 Cheers y’all!
