Strawberry Clover Club
Strawberry Clover Club

When life gives you strawberries, make a drink 🍓

I love the Clover Club by the legendary Julie Reiner. I also love using it as a template for fruit forward cocktails. In this case, we recently went strawberry picking over at Legare Farms here in Charleston, SC. You really can't beat vine ripened strawberries, they're incredibly sweet and packed with vitamin C. After making an easy strawberry syrup, I figured the Clover Club would be the perfect template for this cocktail. Egg whites are optional obviously but highly recommended for that frothy, silky texture.

Cheers y'all.

#ad21+ Frozen strawberry + jalapeno margaritas should be on the menu this #CincoDeMayo

Together with my friends at @tequilamicampo, I recreated one of my favorite drinks I had a few weeks ago but added a little kick to it. For this frozen margarita, mix everything up and add a few dashes of jalapeño hot sauce and you’ve got something magical. Tequila Mi Campo Blanco adds a layer of citrus and rich tropical notes derived from resting in French oak barrels to this already incredible cocktail that you should definitely make for Cinco de Mayo.

Check out the link in the bio to find a bottle for yourself!

Cheers y’all

Amaro Sour
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.

[Improvised] Azalea
[Improvised] 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.

Tequila Moonrise
Tequila Moonrise

Yeah, yeah, you’ve probably heard of a Tequila Sunrise, but what about a Tequila MOONRISE?

Next up on our locally-inspired series with @herradurateq is the wonderful Nikki Fairman (@nikkifairman) with her take on a sunrise. Bonus points: the cocktail looks like the SC state flag 👏🏾

“This drink is inspired by all the beautiful twilight we enjoy in Charleston. What could be better than watching the moonrise from one of our beautiful beaches? The exquisite richness and underlining notes of vanilla in the Herradura Ultra are complemented by the round floral tartness of the Edisto Red Limes, add the gentle violet perfume and you’ve got a cocktail that drinks like a memory.”

Coquito Colada
Coquito Colada

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

What 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.

Winter in Jalisco
Winter in Jalisco

If you’re not making a bramble this season, what are you even doing?

Together with my friends at @tresgeneracionestequila I’ve created the perfect cocktail recipe for your friends family and loved ones this holiday season featuring a special tequila that celebrates family legacy and 100 years of tequila-making. This recipe calls for Tres Generaciones Reposado which uses 100% blue agave that is triple-distilled then rested in oak for at least 4 months. The light oak character plays so well with the rosemary in this recipe and it’s the perfect drink to elevate your next get together.

Hosting pro tip: Batch all the ingredients together (except the creme de cassis + garnishes) using the parts below. Pour over crushed ice then top with creme de cassis and set up a holiday garnish bar for your guests to garnish their own.

Cheers y’all!

Renewed Revival
Renewed Revival

Your holiday party cocktail just arrived… recipe below.

Today I’m working with my friends at @thelostexplorer to make a seasonal margarita riff. They make some incredible agave-based spirits and also have a commitment to sustainability which inspired this spiced pineapple syrup I used for this cocktail. This syrup uses every part of the pineapple along with some fall spices and is essential in this recipe and figured it would be a great fit with the brightness of the tequila and the smokiness of the mezcal rinse.

Give this one a try, 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!

PSL Carajillo
PSL Carajillo

Its that time of the year folks 🎃☕️

Together with my friends at @licor43usa, we’ve created a fall-inspired version of one of my favorite espresso cocktails in the Carajillo. I first had a traditional Carajillo in Jalisco, MX as an after-dinner drink and was blown away at the simplicity of combining equal parts of espresso and Licor 43 to provide a delicious and frothy espresso forward cocktail. Needless to say, we ordered one almost every night we were there. Licor 43 provides notes of vanilla, caramel and citrus which plays perfectly with pumpkin spices (clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, etc) giving this popular cocktail a fall-inspired twist thats perfect for your next get-together.

Cheers y’all.

Eggnog Cream Float
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.

Saltamontes Espresso Martini
Saltamontes Espresso Martini

What do you get when you cross a Grasshopper with an Espresso Martini?

Let me show you an interesting one I’ve been making lately with my friends at @canteranegratequila. This recipe is a cross between a grasshopper and an espresso martini. Since we’ll be using #CanteraNegraCafe, we’ll already have those notes of cocoa and rich coffee in this liqueur. Both flavors should play perfectly with the fresh mint and Fernet Mente in this recipe #ad

For the base spirit today, we’ll be using Cantera Negra’s own Reposado, an additive free tequila that’s just as good a sipper as it is in this cocktail. Next time you’re at the store, you may as well go home with both bottles as they are a match made in heaven 😉
It’s a great recipe to bust out during your next get-together, let me know what you think!

Cheers y’all.
