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+

Notorious F.I.G

’Tis the [fig] season here in the Lowcountry so why not make the best of it in an Old Fashioned?

Next up on the #FestiveOldFashioned series with is the talented, Meagan Cheek (meaganvision) with a fig inspired Old Fashioned that is as local as it it is seasonal. Check out his details below.

“Figs, allspice, brown sugar, maple syrup, and of course bourbon... what flavors could be more fitting for the holiday season? I wanted to feature figs because they often get a bad rap (pun intended). For this representation of the OG Old Fashioned I have chosen Old Forester 1920 for its warming winter flavors of cherry, vanilla, and graham cracker sweetness. The spirit is then infused at a low heat with dried figs rolled in a bit of brown sugar. Finish with a touch of allspice dram, maple syrup, and cherry bark vanilla bitters. Garnish with a fresh halved fig nestled in a big beautiful peel of winter grapefruit. If you don’t know, now you know!”

The Winter Coat

Bundle up, and grab your winter coat.

#ad Together with my friends at licor43usa, I’ve created a cocktail thats perfect for the season. It’s inspired by a creme brûlée and it just so happens that #Licor43 makes a `Creme Brûlée’ flavor as part of their indulgence trio lineup (other flavors include Horchata and Chocolate). This cocktail combines winter spices with bourbon and is then topped with caramelized sugar sitting atop an egg white foam.

Cheers y’all.

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.

Koru Shrub

You know what they say about an apple a day… Yeah you know the rest, I create a great winter cocktail using fresh Koru apples from New York. If you’ve never heard of the Koru variety of apples, they are crisp, extremely sweet, juicy and most importantly, sustainable - making them the perfect apple to use for this season. The cool part about these apples is they’re slow to brown so they’re perfect for garnishing your cocktail, as well as using it as the main ingredient. Hope y’all try this recipe it out, it’s one of our favs. Cheers y’all!
