This enhanced version of the classic is still very easy to make and only takes a few more ingredients to execute. Chicory and coffee have always been a match made in heaven but together with an eight year old Irish Whisky like @thequietmanwhiskey. it just brings it to a whole other level. The notes of sweet vanilla and oak that is imparted from the barrel is on full display in this version of Irish coffee, only to be accentuated with a salted caramel foam to balance out the bitterness from the coffee.

A little pick-me-up.
Just sharing a slight variation on a cocktail I had in MX. We drank these almost every night we were there and was just amazed that it only contained two ingredients. Its simple but had a lot of complex flavors so I figured I’d add a bit a little more to it to jazz it up. Here’s my take on a classic Carajillo, cheers y’all.
ingredients:
1½ oz | 45 ml Espresso
1½ oz | 45 ml Licor 43
Grated Nutmeg
Orange Twist (Zest only)
instructions:
Combine all wet ingredients in a shaking tin with ice. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Pour and strain over rocks glass filled with a large cube of ice. Express orange twist, top with grated nutmeg.

2 oz | 60 ml Vodka
1 oz | 30 ml Espresso
½ oz | 15 ml Coffee Liqueur
½ oz | 15 ml Creme de Cacao
1 Pinch Smoked Sea Salt
3 Coffee Beans (Garnish)
inSTRUCTIONS:
Combine the all of the ingredients into a bottle of your choice then store in the fridge or freezer. When ready, simply pour 4oz into a shaking tin with ice, shake hard and strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with coffee beans.
I’m your huckleberry 🤠
I just got back from Montana with my friends at @traegergrills. It was strictly a grilling event but given what I do, of course I had to get behind the bar. I knew I wanted to incorporate local Montana ingredients like huckleberry, juniper (grown on site) and honey but also wanted to incorporate smoke from the grill. So I had the idea to make a bramble type cocktail.
For the smokey element, I smoked some local raw honey along with some juniper berries on the Traeger to just get a kiss of smoke. I then constructed the cocktail originally using gin like a traditional bramble, but the juniper botanicals overpowered the recipe so I switched to a reposado tequila and knew it was the perfect fit. They also had some locally made huckleberry liqueur which was the perfect last ingredient to top the cocktail and bring that sweet/sour/fruity element to the cocktail. Finally topped it with that smoked juniper berry branch to give it that botanical pop and tricking your brain into thinking you’re drinking a bramble when you’re actually drinking something closer to a margarita.
Given the ingredients and location, it was just fitting to call this the ‘Big Sky Bramble.’ Cheers y’all.
Big thanks to @i_drewcifer for the R&D help!
