Sharing a recipe I created for the menu over at the new bar at claytonandcrume last month. Think of it like an elevated margarita. If you’re ever in Louisville, make sure to stop by the flagship store and let the talented @itslesliebryan make it for you! Happy Friday y’all.
Cue the slow jams, you’ll be wanting to make this #ValentinesDay inspired Negroni-riff TONIGHT.
The strawberry infused Campari brings that strawberry flavor to the party and complements the fruity notes of this smooth Reposado. Combined with Creme de Cacao and a touch of sea salt, this cocktail provides you a salted, dark chocolate-covered strawberry…. in a glass. Your partner will thank you… you’re welcome <3
Clear as cristalino 💎 I created a cocktail for the ever gracious host, as clear and refreshing as Tequila Don Ramón Cristalino Platinium Añejo. I used ingredients such as vanilla and lavender to enhance and complement the subtle notes of nuts and vanilla of this particular Añejo. With a touch of lemon to add a bit more brightness, this well-rounded cocktail truly sets the bar, at home.
If you’re unfamiliar with the cristalino process, allow me to clarify (ha, get it?) - After maturation in oak, a complex filtration process removes the liquid’s amber color and piquancy. This results in a ridiculously smooth taste and long finish calling for easy sipping and/or amazing cocktails.
This spicy hot chocolate cocktail is tequila based and is my take on a Oaxacan Chocolate flavor profile. Check out the recipe below and let me know what you think!

You will want to make this one ASAP!

Read More🍹 Happy #NationalMargaritaDay - As a throwback, may I present my go-to Margarita recipe. Yes, I realize Its a little involved to make but it also took weeks to perfect the ingredients and ratios. The Extra Añejo takes this recipe to another level by adding an extra depth of flavor from the aged Patrón offering. Its a crowd favorite every time I’ve made it (usually in batches) and hope you’ll give it a try. You won’t regret it!
Read MoreLet’s make a Filipino inspired margarita riff to celebrate both #CincoDeMayo and #AAPIHeritageMonth🇵🇭
If you’ve seen the #AAPI acronym floating around, it stands for Asian-American/Pacific Islander. I created a cocktail recipe inspired by my Filipino upbringing and culture. This recipe utilizes a prominent southeast-asian ingredient: Ube, a purple root vegetable similar to sweet potato but a touch sweeter. This particular flavor profile of coconut, ube, and milk reminds me of cooking ube inspired desserts with my Lola when I still lived in the Philippines. Call it a homage, of sorts, I call it delicious and nostalgic.
Given some of the lack of sleep we’ve been getting lately, I figured I’d whip something up to fix that.
