Give me an Old Fashioned, but make it with a smoky tequila 🥃

I’m excited to introduce y’all to the newest offering from - Patrón Ahumado - and make a classic Old Fashioned with it. #patronahumado is made in small batches using a low and slow roasting technique of the piñas underground with mesquite for at least seven days. Agave is then crushed using the unique 100% tahona wheel distillation process. The reposado tastes sweet, smoky, and oaky with notes of black pepper and hints of vanilla and caramel — it takes a classic Old Fashioned to a new level but can also just be enjoyed neat or on the rocks. If you’re a fan of smoked spirits, you need to get your hands on this bottle ASAP.

Cheers y’all.

Want a chance to go to Guadalajara and take home a grand prize??

This annual competition is open to both pro and amateur bartenders nationwide to challenge them to craft bold and spicy cocktails using Tanteo Tequila.

Happy #SundayFunday -- I feel like ‘healthy’ and ‘cocktails’ are oxymorons but a couple months ago, the ladies over at @thekalewhale inspired me to make another cocktail using @onelovekombucha’s Hibiscus Ginger Kombucha. Check out the recipe below!

Recently had a chance to check out the gorgeous thevictorsocialclub and try their Cuban-inspired cocktail menu. They also were kind enough to provide their cocktail recipe. Check out the space at Hutson Alley when you get a chance and stay tuned for more!

Nacho. Cheese. Margarita. 😳

Thanks to @doritos and @empiricalcph, we’re now able to add a nacho cheese flavor to any cocktail. I asked y’all what I should make with this spirit and I figured we’d start off easy with a Margarita, it just makes sense after all, right? After all, queso + margaritas, what could go wrong?

Hey folks! I’m excited to #partner up with Patron, who has challenged me to create a classic bourbon cocktail for #NationalBourbonDay - but here’s the twist, we’ll be using their bourbon barrel aged Patrón Añejo in place of whiskey.

Movie night with the fam. Homemade Maple New York Sours seemed appropriate.

Habañero x Paloma x Margarita = ?

Introducing a fiery twist on two classic cocktails, the Paloma and the Spicy Margarita. This original recipe combines the refreshing citrus notes of a Paloma with the heat of a Spicy Margarita to create a unique drink for your summer cocktail arsenal. It’s the perfect blend of sweet, sour, and spicy, making it the ideal choice for those who enjoy a bit of a kick in their cocktail.

Cheers y’all.

Is this the official cocktail of 2024?

If you haven’t heard already it’s #BatangaWeek and we’re all here for it.

Cocktails don’t have to be hard and this is no exception. When we were in Mexico last week with @drinkcazcanes, we all fell in love with this drink. The ingredients are simple: tequila, lime and [Mexican] @cocacola. You might be saying, “well Miguel, thats just a tequila-coke…” - it’s not until you add the salt on the rim and IN the glass will this drink just shine. The salt accentuates everything in the cocktail from the agave to the herbal [almost amaro-like] flavors from the soda. If you haven’t had this yet, you need to. I can almost guarantee you already have all the ingredients.

Cheers y’all.

Just because #CincoDeMayo is over doesn’t mean these tequila cocktails have to stop…

A cocktail worthy to celebrate National Rosa Tequila Day.

We’ve created a recipe which highlights Calirosa - a tequila aged for 30 days in red wine barrels which gives it its unique pink hue along with adding notes of strawberry, honey and oak. This recipe is meant to be enjoyed with friends and its a perfect drink to bust out at your next pool party.

Cheers y’all!

I get my peaches out in SC 🍑

I’ve teamed up with redclayhotsauce to create a spicy peach margarita recipe thats sure to be a summer favorite. Adding their spicy peach honey and spicy margarita salt into the mix provides a balance of sweet, savory, spicy and sour to this already delicious recipe, check it out below!

The atomized mezcal is 🔑

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.

Is #TequilaTuesday a thing? It should definitely be a thing.

Well the good news is, I’ve teamed up with my friends to make it a thing. I created a refreshing bramble riff created with their new Reposado offering. Its the perfect recipe for all this summer weather coming up this week. You’ll be wanting to make a few of these, trust me. Cheers 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

I hear January 26 is #NationalSpicyMargaritaDay, so here’s a recipe to celebrate!

We’ve created a spicy margarita recipe with their jalapeño tequila. This rendition is perfect in all kinds of weather and enjoyed sipping on the back porch or with your dinner.

Kick off the weekend with a mezcal recipe to celebrate the dead.

I’ve created a cocktail recipe fitting to celebrate Dia de Los Muertos and here it is. Hints of spice and tropical fruit balance well with the subtle smokiness of this mezcal to provide a refreshing cocktail with a spicy kick. Salud!

#LaborDayWeekend Vibez.

With Labor Day coming up, it also means the end of summer is just around the corner, to create a recipe fitting for such an occasion. This one is a simple/fruit-forward cocktail that is easily batched and will leave you (and your guests) wanting more. Cheers y’all!

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.
