Beericano (Non-Alcoholic)
I believe so!
Had to give this one a try.This recipe went viral late last year thanks to @_thirstywhale, and since a lot of y’all are doing #DryJanuary, it felt like the right time to make a non-alcoholic version. I’ve been on the hunt for a solid NA Campari and sweet vermouth alternative for a while now, and I think I finally found it with Giffard Sirop Aperitif. It hits that balance of bitterness and sweetness that makes this drink work.I’ll be playing around with a Negroni and Boulevardier (NA) next, but let me know what else you’d like to see.Pro tip: You can also make this low-ABV by using Campari and your favorite sweet vermouth, then topping with an NA beer.Cheers, y’all!
ingredients:
1 oz | 30 ml Giffard Sirop Aperitif
1½ oz | 45 ml Martini & Rossi Floreale
1 pinch Sea Salt
3 oz | 90 ml NA Beer (I used Bero Hazy IPA)
Orange Twist (garnish)
instructions:
Add sirop aperitif, Floreale, and sea salt to a highball or beer flute over ice. Top with NA beer and give a gentle stir. Froth additional beer in a mixing glass using a milk frother, then top the cocktail with beer foam. Garnish with an orange twist.

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!
