Tembo Milk Punch
Fall weather calls for milk punchesโฆ
We create a fall-themed cocktail that plays on a traditional unclarified brandy milk punch by adding a few flavors thatโll remind you of fall. If you havenโt 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 yโall! #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 havenโt already - make sure to check out my IG stories and get a sneak peek at this yearโs limited edition bottle of VSOP in collaboration with refikanadol - thereโs a couple goodies in there that Iโm excited to play around with! Let me know what yโall think.
Notorious F.I.G
โTis 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.
โFigs, 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 donโt know, now you know!โ
The Winter Coat
Bundle up, and grab your winter coat.
#ad , Iโve created a cocktail thats perfect for the season. Itโs inspired by a creme brรปlรฉe and it just so happens that #Licor43 makes a `Creme Brรปlรฉeโ 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 yโall.
Apple Jack the Reaper
Apple season is here, youโre going to want to make this for your upcoming halloween party - Grim Reaper mug optionalโฆ
PS. I got this tiki mug from my friends over deathandcompany x tikilandtrading and immediately thought, it was so ON-BRAND for Death & Co.
Lakeside Maple Sour
For my toast, I recently had a stay at a lake house surrounded by large, beautiful maple trees that inspired this recipe. Cheers yโall.
The Egg Cream Fizz
Iโve 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 rightโฆ it contains NO EGGS... until now. Iโve combined this classic with a similar technique to a Ramos gin fizz and the results were pretty epic. See the recipe below.
Season of Spice
With Laphroaig - Always having lived in the south and tropical weather, its always acceptable to make and consume tropical cocktail year-round - and yes that includes the Holidays โ๏ธ๐ฅ

Pomme Brulee Old Fashioned
Itโs about time we brรปlรฉe 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 Holeโs Dareringer bourbon, which is finished with PX sherry casks and has notes of oak, dried fruit and caramel.
This is one you need to make.
Cheers yโall!
The Laddie Rob Roy
โฆand a partridge in a pear tree.
Happy holiday season yโall. Together with my friends at bruichladdich Iโve 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!
The Rock Hopper
An espresso martini crossed with a mint chocolate Irish coffee? Sure, I got you
โTis the season after all, Iโve come up with the perfect recipe to go along with this bottle of Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey. This single grain, Irish whiskey is first aged in oak then finished in Oloroso sherry casks.
Striped Pumpkin Pie
Hereโs another Thanksgiving cocktail for yโallโฆ and hereโs 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 โ๏ธ
Iโve 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, itโs a liqueur made from bitter almonds, apricot pits and a couple other botanicalsโฆ as it turns out, itโs delicious. VERY similar to amaretto but with a dark cherry twist to it. Last week, I asked yโall 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. Itโs rich, sweet and drinks like a milkshake. Enjoy this one sparingly friends :)
Cheers yโall.
Spiced Apple Spritz
Good morning Charleston! Check me out on lowcountrylive on abcnews4 this morning. Iโll be making a couple of holiday cocktails including this Spiced Apple Spritz made with stripedpigdistillery Spiced Rumโฆ its Thanksgiving in a cup. Check out the recipe on http://holycityhandcraft.com (Link in bio)

Cable Knit
What can I sayโฆ Day 1 at gardenandgun JUBILEE was a BLAST. There was so much to see, do and not surprisingly; drink! The biggest surprise was the gorgeous @bladeandbowwhiskey horse trailer-turned mobile bar. It was commissioned by Garden and Gun and this was its first visit to explorecharleston! Swipe through to see the trailer or check out the Instagram story to take a peek inside the trailer.
Summer Fig Collins
What to do with fresh figs? Iโve got you covered. I recently had an opportunity to #partner up with unclevals to create a summer cocktail using their Botanical Gin - made with juniper, cucumber, lemon, sage and lavender. Its perfect for any summer sipper like a traditional Collins so why not incorporate some fresh figs ๐๐พ Cheers yโall!
