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+
PSA: You can buy today on TerlatoSpirits.com, at Total Wine & More, or at a retailer near you!
Border Town
Throwing it back to this zesty shot with my friends at hennessy.
If you haven’t already - make sure to check out my IG stories and get a sneak peek at this year’s limited edition bottle of VSOP in collaboration with refikanadol - there’s a couple goodies in there that I’m excited to play around with! Let me know what y’all think.
Up the Chimney
🎅🏻🎄 MERRY CHRISTMAS! I’ve been wanting to smoke a Holiday themed cocktail for a while now and I think I found the perfect vessel for it. I saw this at target and immediately thought it was for smoking my cocktails… is that weird? Anyone know what this is really for? …either way it doesn’t matter because this drink ended up being delicious.
Rosemary Spritz
Are you in the mood for a refreshing and flavorful cocktail? Look no further than the Rosemary Spritz! This delightful drink combines the aromatic essence of rosemary with crisp and sparkling ingredients for a truly invigorating experience. Stay tuned for the full recipe and enjoy a sip of pure bliss with each glass. 🌿🍹
Rosemary Old Fashioned
Get all the holiday vibes with this festive take on the Old Fashioned. Cheers y’all!
Rosemary, with its fragrant and pine-like aroma, has long been cherished as a symbol of remembrance and love during the holiday season. Its vibrant green needles evoke the festive colors of the holidays, while its robust flavor adds a touch of warmth to holiday dishes and cocktails. Whether infused in rich gravies, delicately dusted over roasted meats, or incorporated into hearty stuffings, rosemary brings a sense of tradition and comfort to any holiday table. Cocktails are no exception.
Ghost of Christmas Future
This is for all you Scrooges out there 🎩🎁
“...a solemn Phantom, draped and hooded, coming, like a mist along the ground, towards him.” 💀
I got this tiki mug from my friends over deathandcompany x tikilandtrading and immediately thought, it was so ON-BRAND for Death & Co. but also so fitting to make make a winter tiki cocktail inspired by The Christmas Carol… so here we are…
The Strangest Thing
What better way to combine two things I love (craft cocktails and strangerthingstv) than the #StrangerThingsAB cocktail contest held by my dudes apartment_bartender and @keifermadness. Inspiration comes from THE UPSIDE DOWN and a bit of that fall flavor all is basic girls love 💁🏻
.
Cheers y’all, make sure to tune into Season 2 of Stranger Things on netflix TOMORROW!
Apple Jack the Reaper
Apple season is here, you’re going to want to make this for your upcoming halloween party - Grim Reaper mug optional…
PS. I got this tiki mug from my friends over deathandcompany x tikilandtrading and immediately thought, it was so ON-BRAND for Death & Co.
The Egg Cream Fizz
I’ve put together a twist on a traditional Egg Cream. Never heard of one? Well, it it originated among Eastern European Jewish immigrants in New York City. It usually consists of cream, chocolate syrup and seltzer/soda water. Thats right… it contains NO EGGS... until now. I’ve combined this classic with a similar technique to a Ramos gin fizz and the results were pretty epic. See the recipe below.
Cannonborough in D
🥃 Merry Christmas Eve, folks! For our Annual Christmas Party this year, Mick and I came up with the recipe below which was then kegged; needless to say, it was delicious and absolutely demolished by our guests. Hope you enjoy it!
Mom's Flowers
Your mom deserves her flowers (and wine, mostly wine).
Today we’re doing wine cocktails with my friends at bonterra. Wine cocktails may seem redundant but it’s actually a great way to enjoy a lower-ABV cocktail experience (in moderation, obviously). This recipe is no exception, to celebrate spring and #MothersDay, this recipe uses Bonterra’s Sauvignon Blanc, which is carefully made with certified organic grapes. Think of this recipe as a cross between a Spritz and a Pimms Cup. Its finished with edible flowers to compliment the wine and fresh fruit in the cocktail.
Cheers y’all!
The Yuletide Bramble
A bramble to match the season? Yes please.
We created a festive take on a classic bramble. Try this one for your next holiday party! Cheers y’all!

Pomme Brulee Old Fashioned
It’s about time we brûlée some apples for an Old Fashioned.
We created an Old Fashioned thats sure to please this season. Flavors of cinnamon, caramelized sugar and apples play together perfectly with Rabbit Hole’s Dareringer bourbon, which is finished with PX sherry casks and has notes of oak, dried fruit and caramel.

Cheers y’all!
The Laddie Rob Roy
…and a partridge in a pear tree.
Happy holiday season y’all. Together with my friends at bruichladdich I’ve created a take on the classic Rob Roy. This takes The Classic Laddie, an unpeated scotch whisky, and combines it with the flavors of spiced pear and walnut to create a cocktail that is easy, delicious, and beautiful. Anyone can make this recipe, so make sure to give the gift of The Classic Laddie this holiday season by heading to the link in my bio!
Striped Pumpkin Pie
Here’s another Thanksgiving cocktail for y’all… and here’s to hoping your bellies are as full as your hearts as you spend this time with your family and friends.
Pink Squirrel
A cocktail to match this weather ⛈️
I’ve never made anything with this liqueur before.
Heck, I had not even heard of it until I picked up a bottle a couple weeks ago. This is creme de noyaux, it’s a liqueur made from bitter almonds, apricot pits and a couple other botanicals… as it turns out, it’s delicious. VERY similar to amaretto but with a dark cherry twist to it. Last week, I asked y’all what I should make with this cocktail and the overwhelming response was this Pink Squirrel, an easy equal parts cocktail.
Honestly, this recipe is like a cheat code for a dessert cocktail. It legit tastes like a dark cherry, vanilla ice cream. It’s rich, sweet and drinks like a milkshake. Enjoy this one sparingly friends :)
Cheers y’all.
