Bahay Buko
Let’s make a Filipino inspired margarita riff to celebrate both #CincoDeMayo and #AAPIHeritageMonth🇵🇭
If you’ve seen the #AAPI acronym floating around, it stands for Asian-American/Pacific Islander. I created a cocktail recipe inspired by my Filipino upbringing and culture. This recipe utilizes a prominent southeast-asian ingredient: Ube, a purple root vegetable similar to sweet potato but a touch sweeter. This particular flavor profile of coconut, ube, and milk reminds me of cooking ube inspired desserts with my Lola when I still lived in the Philippines. Call it a homage, of sorts, I call it delicious and nostalgic.
Best Side Old Fashioned
The sweet potato casserole… OLD FASHIONED? Yep, she did it.
Next up on the #FestiveOldFashioned series with @oldforester is the wonderful Jessica Ford (@queenofcoupes) with a riff on the Old Fashioned using one of my favorite sides during any holiday dinner, the sweet potato casserole. Check out her details below.
“As soon as the holiday theme was mentioned, I knew I had to make an old fashioned riff of my favorite holiday side, sweet potato casserole. I chose Old Forester 1910 because the heavy char on the cask used for secondary aging imparts the perfect flavor profile for this riff: sweet caramel and toffee notes, smokey vanilla that’s reminiscent of toasted marshmallow, and well integrated baking spices.”
Breakfast Mai Tai
When the cocktail name starts with ‘Breakfast…’ 👀
Heard it was #NationalMaiTaiDay and figured it would be a good time to peruse the ‘Simple Tiki’ cocktail book off the bar shelf to find a simple take on a classic Mai Tai. The Breakfast Mai Tai by @lilfannyfoofu at @donnabklyn was the one that caught my eye. Now its no secret that Banana du Bresil and overproof rum go together like peas and carrots (where my Forrest Gump fans at, amirite? …sorry, nerd over here) - this recipe was right up my alley and it surely didn’t disappoint.

The Charred Grapefruit Boulevardier
What are pouring on this fine evening? It better be this.
The Boulevardier
This is my absolute go-to whiskey cocktail. If you’re a fan of the classic Negroni (traditionally made with Gin), then the Boulevardier will be right up your alley. In my opinion, this cocktail’s flavor profile goes a step further than a Negroni due to the use of [rye or bourbon] whiskey instead of Gin. I personally prefer a nice, spicy, barrel-proof bourbon – it really brings out the depth of flavors in the cocktail. Its a great balance of strong, sweet and bitter – the perfect pre/during/after-dinner cocktail. Its the kind of cocktail that is not only delicious, but will garner a nod of approval from your bartender. Cheers!
