Pickled Strawberry Margarita

“Why are you picking all the green strawberries?” - my wife

Comment “STRAWBERRY” below and I’ll send this recipe straight to your DMs.

#ad21+ Together with my friends at @codigo1530, I made a crushable margarita riff made using pickled strawberry brine, WITH ingredients as fresh as the tequila itself.

During strawberry season last year, I was lucky enough to pick some beautiful green (unripe) strawberries from a local farm here in Charleston. I’ve seen local chefs utilize these in salads and savory dishes but my mind immediately went to how I could use it in a cocktail recipe. Green strawberries bring acid, vegetal brightness, and subtle tannin that will play really well with the vegetal, bright notes in Codigo 1530 Blanco.

This one is a must-try, cheers y’all.

Adam’s Words

This is my kind of daiq 😮‍💨

This is Episode 2 of Equal Parts Theory, the series where we see if equal ingredient measurements actually make a good cocktail.

Today, we’re making Adam’s Words, a modern equal-parts cocktail created in 2012 by @Fransos. You really can’t go wrong with the ingredients in this cocktail but it’s just a bonus that they’re so balanced in an equal parts cocktail.

What should I make next? Let me know below.

Cheers y’all.
