Tembo Milk Punch

Fall weather calls for milk punches…

I’ve partnered with amarula_us to create a fall-themed cocktail that plays on a traditional unclarified brandy milk punch by adding a few flavors that’ll remind you of fall. If you haven’t heard of #Amarula, I can best describe it as cream liqueur but with sweet, nougaty caramel notes blended with a subtle citrus aroma. Just perfect with the recipe below. Cheers y’all! #ad21+

It's horchata szn!

Last but certainly not least on our locally-inspired series with herradurateq is our girl Meagan Cheek (meaganvision) with her take on a Lowcountry horchata utilizing Carolina Gold Rice and caramelized puffed rice cakes. This was unreal.

“Carolina Gold Rice is a huge staple here in the Lowcountry. I wanted to showcase the grain in a way that added some Latin flair to a southern classic. The already creamy texture of the rice lends itself well to horchata, and the vanilla and cinnamon notes in the rice milk play off of the same velvety vanillin undertones found in Herradura Ultra. Combined with cinnamon infused brandy, raspberry cordial, a touch of lime, and finished with rhubarb bitters, this cocktail will have you ready to face a forgiving southern winter. Garnish with puffed rice brittle and enjoy!

Midori Sour v2.0

This ain’t your older sister’s early 2000’s Midori Sour…

Here’s my slightly elevated take on this 90-00’s cocktail. If you haven’t had Midori before, well this one is for you, Midori is a liqueur made from Japanese melons that is subtle, sweet and packed with fruity melon flavor. It also brings forth a crazy green color to most cocktails (including this one). In the past few decades, the ‘Midori Sour’ used to be made with… you guessed it… sour mix. This take combines the specs for a classic sour (with egg white foam) and adds elements of fresh lime juice and lemon zest to accentuate the citrus in this recipe.

Now where’s my sister @margaritacaffee? You gotta try this version :P

Cheers y’all.
