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!

This cocktail, A Noble Hospitality, won a cocktail competition to become Charleston Wine + Food’s signature cocktail back in 2017. It was created by my friend Morgan Hurley of Mex1 and has all the elements I love in a great balanced cocktail and flavor profiles of smoke, bitter, fruity and sweet. You will want to make this one ASAP!

A little tequila never hurt no one. This cocktail is not one to disappoint - think Margarita, but with pineapple and hibiscus. Its so, so good.

Just because fall is around the corner doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a spritz! Here’s a recipe thats perfect for any occasion. Their blanco tequila pairs well with the tropical notes of pineapple and the splash of prosecco makes this drink a fruit-forward but refreshing cocktail. Cheers y’all!

Can you think of anything better than a cold, refreshing watermelon on a hot, sunny day here in the South? Me neither. This time I’ll be using their new Watermelon infused coconut water to create some ice cubes to accentuate the flavors in the cocktail. This cocktail is the perfect summer vibe for all those days you’ll be spending at the pool in the coming months, so make sure to make a big batch of these cubes!

The definition of a modern classic, made popular by the folks at Death & Co.

Are you a Margarita fan? Yeah yeah, I know, who isn’t… Anyway, its almost Friday, so check out this Monterita video I created with Amaro Montenegro and give it a try!

When in doubt, always float the rum. This tequila based tiki-inspired cocktail is sure to please. The black strap rum floater is a must-have. Cheers y’all.

Coming at you with a tequila recipe to compliment the season - hope everyone is still staying safe and healthy out there!

Today, I’m excited to feature Amanda Phelps of Charleston, SC with a delicious and easy-to-make margarita riff! Its hot, sweet, salty and sour - what else would you want in a drink? According to Amanda, “it’s perfect for sipping on your porch enjoying tacos and cheese dip!” cheers y’all!

🍹 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!

Let’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.
