Mint Chocolate Oaxaca Old Fashioned
Make this one immediately 🍃🍫🥃
#ad I’m excited to partner with @donjuliotequila to put a twist on one of my favorite classic cocktails. During the holidays, mint chocolates were always one of those little things I looked forward to — that mix of cool mint and rich chocolate just hits different this time of year. This cocktail leans into those flavors, but with a grown-up twist.
@DonJulioTequila Reposado is made with 100% blue weber agave and aged longer than industry standards, so it brings warm vanilla, soft caramel, and a smooth oakiness that rounds out the mint and chocolate without overpowering them. And if you choose to mist mezcal on top, it adds a subtle smoky layer that makes the whole drink feel richer, deeper, and more complex.
It’s minty, chocolatey, spirit-forward, and surprisingly balanced.

What if we made an apple pie with vanilla ice cream into a drink?
#ad21+ Today with my friends at @traegergrills, we’re going to find out what happens when you take a classic southern dessert and turn it into a tasty fall cocktail. It all starts with the smoked apple pie syrup. For this recipe, I used the Traeger Woodridge Elite since it has a built-in infrared side burner so I could make the syrup while smoking some juicy honeycrisp apples dusted with cinnamon sugar.
Of course we’re using apple wood pellets at 375 for about 45 minutes just to give them that kiss of smoke and concentrate their flavors a bit before adding it to our baking spices, brown sugar to make our syrup.
The topping is a non-negotiable, a salted maple, vanilla cold foam to really drive home that vanilla ice cream on top of an apple pie. That smokiness from the apple gives this recipe a one-of-a-kind, but familiar flavor profile and you’ll want to make over and over again. Just make sure to make enough of that syrup.
Cheers y’all!
