The lemon-forward spritz you’ve been looking for 🍋

Together with my friends at luxardousa we’re making a Limoncello Spritz to soak up all the #AperitivoHour vibes this summer. This one uses #Luxardo Limoncello which is made the old-fashioned way in Italy, using the traditional method of infusing alcohol with lemon peels, pulp and juice with REAL lemons harvested in southern Italy. Their Limoncello isn’t just great in a spritz, it can be enjoyed straight up and chilled, or on the rocks with soda or tonic water as well.

As with any spritz, keep it easy and fun! I encourage you to add a fun garnish to add a fun garnish of your own. I used basil to keep with the Italian flavors but also because we know how well basil pairs with the brightness of lemon.

Anyways, I hope you give this one a try this summer!

👶🏽 Given some of the lack of sleep we’ve been getting lately, I figured I’d whip something up to fix that.

Well’p, if y’all have been following along, you know that two of my favorite things are a stiff Boulevardier and coming up with twists on a classic. This one is no different, the herbal notes of Chartreuse with the addition of grapefruit bitters takes the place of Campari in a funky yet delicious variation. Give it a shot.

Heard it was #NationalRumDay…

If you’re into funky Jamaican rums and Old Fashioneds, this is the recipe for you.

I promised cocktails from katherinebrasserie at the gorgeous kimpton@thecardinalws in Winston-Salem, NC - so here’s the first! Its a great balance of sweet, herbal and spicy. The Old Overholt Rye plays nicely with the Carpano Antica and Yellow Chartreuse to create a sturdy, complex cocktail.

Weekend vibes from @thevictorsocialclub - it's a gorgeous Saturday in Charleston today y'all, get out there and enjoy it!

Alright notjustabartender, you convinced me…

Some people are out there hoarding their Green Chartreuse and some of us are using it as a base spirit 😂 This one is like if a Piña Colada and a Chartreuse Swizzle had a baby and served it over crushed ice in a Coco Lopez can. A big thank you Erick Castro-Diaz (hungrybartender) for this spec. Absolutely incredible.

Like you need more reasons to make a cocktail with Fernet.
