Happy Mother’s Day to all you wonderful moms out there!

Today I’ve partnered with nataliesoj to bring you an easy Mother’s Day margarita recipe that anyone can make using Natalie’s fresh juices and topped with a refreshing Jalapeño/Key Lime Margarita Sorbet infused with tanteotequila from tipsyscoop! Cheers y’all.

What happens when you cross a margarita and a Batanga? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had this crazy idea to merge these two iconic Mexican cocktails without really knowing if it it'll work or not. In theory, the elements in a cola syrup wouldn't be too far off from an amaro. We've made the Jagerita before (yes, it's a Jagermeister as a base spirit in a margarita) - and I actually kinda enjoyed it. I'm writing all this before I even do any R&D on this cocktail but I have a feeling like it'll all work out. Unless I'm wrong.

Jumping on the pickle margarita bandwagon… c’mon in, we’ve got room 🥒

Yeah I know it’s been done but had to try it for myself. In theory it works right? You put a salt (brine) and lime (acid) in your margaritas right? So why not add pickle juice which adds those elements as well. I used a spicy pickle brine here and it was incredible. Note that I used the new lalospirits high proof here, a whopping 2oz of it, but the spec below made for a well balanced, spicy, sour margarita that you’ll love… unless you hate pickles that is, in which case, we can’t be friends anymore.

Cheers y’all.

Its that time of the year folks 🎃☕️

Together with my friends at licor43usa, we’ve created a fall-inspired version of one of my favorite espresso cocktails in the Carajillo. I first had a traditional Carajillo in Jalisco, MX as an after-dinner drink and was blown away at the simplicity of combining equal parts of espresso and Licor 43 to provide a delicious and frothy espresso forward cocktail. Needless to say, we ordered one almost every night we were there. Licor 43 provides notes of vanilla, caramel and citrus which plays perfectly with pumpkin spices (clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, etc) giving this popular cocktail a fall-inspired twist thats perfect for your next get-together.

Cheers y’all.

Hosting a dinner party soon? I got you covered…

Together with my friends at milagrotequila, I’m excited to share the newest bottle in their lineup that’s perfect for such an occasion; Milagro’s new #CristalinoAñejo. This tequila made with 100% blue agave that’s been aged up to 24 months in French and American oak and filtered to have a nice blend of caramel and vanilla sweetness from the barrel with an extra smooth finish from the filtering process. Today I’m going to show you TWO easy ways I’d serve it to my friends for our upcoming dinner party that we’re hosting.

Let’s start off with a cocktail shall we? I love the idea of making a spirit-forward classic like a martini to showcase the nuances of flavors in this Cristalino. The second serve is more for those tequila-purists that want to taste ever single aspect of the liquid, this signature serve is highlighted by a grapefruit twist to complement the citrus notes in this tequila.

The weekend is coming!

Savor the smokey allure of Mezcal, a spirited choice for your next adventure.

Cheers y’all!
