Hey you, lets unwind a bit, shall we?

Together with my friends at drinkhighwest I wanted to take you to a place that disconnects you from the daily work grind so I created a cocktail to take you away from the treadmill of everyday life. So close your eyes for a sec and imagine a scene under the starry night sky, fire roaring, surrounded by your closest friends with a cocktail in hand… this is THAT cocktail. After all, High West is more about the spirit itself & giving a taste of the west -- exploration & adventure

Please drink responsibly. Cheers y’all..

TIKI-inspired Boulevardier? Yep.

Together with coopercraft, my good buddy Jordan aka @highproofpreacher and myself have teamed up to create two takes on a Boulevardier. Both recipes will be using similar ingredients in pineapple and sherry but they will be vastly different in flavor and texture but very similar in that they’re both absolutely delicious.

This is my take on a tiki-inspired cross between a Boulevardier and a Jungle Bird. This recipe is both SHAKEN and STIRRED. The initial base is a Boulevardier-riff that combines Oloroso sherry and the 100-proof coopercraft Barrel Reserve to provide something familiar but not overly sweet to compliment the topping (think Garibaldi). This orgeat, salted-pineapple foam is literally the icing on the cake. This topping is shaken to showcase the pineapple’s natural ability to foam when aerated (shaken) providing for light and fluffy top and a strong, complementary base to match. You NEED to make this recipe this week and make sure to head on over to @highproofpreacher to check out his coffee/pineapple riff!

Is this the essential summer drink?

We’re creating a refreshing take on a familiar classic using #QMixers Ginger Beer and Sloe Gin on top of some fresh fruit and fragrant mint. This is the ultimate, refreshing summer sipper that is as beautiful as it is delicious. Try this out!

At over 100 years old, the classic Aviation Cocktail is something any home bartender should have in their repertoire. Its sexy, sophisticated and elegant… but don’t let it fool you, it’ll kick your a** and take names.

If you love espressos + whiskey, this one is for you.

Y’all know alllll about the Espresso Martini, well what if we combined that with one of the classics in a rye Manhattan, well this is that cocktail and with the addition of salted caramel syrup. this one is absolutely delicious.

Just some #BTS comments: I challenged myself to shoot this all in one take while the camera was on a motorized slider, needless to say, I made a lot of Manhattans to make this video perfect haha hope y’all enjoy!

An easy twist on classic Caipirinha, saúde!

This is the national drink of Brazil and I don’t want to ruffle any feathers, so…. Want it more traditional? Leave out the lime wedge + torch all together. Want it even easier than that? Don’t worry about shaking it, just stir it like the locals do! Cheers y’all.

The atomized mezcal is 🔑

Sharing a recipe I created for the menu over at the new bar at claytonandcrume last month. Think of it like an elevated margarita. If you’re ever in Louisville, make sure to stop by the flagship store and let the talented @itslesliebryan make it for you! Happy Friday y’all.

Simple math: Rum + Passionfruit = ❤️‍🔥

What can I say, I’m a sucker for olives in my spritz.

Another two ingredient cocktail? Yes plz.

The "M and M" cocktail is a unique blend of Amaro Montenegro and Mezcal, creating a balanced and complex flavor profile. The bittersweet notes of the Amaro Montenegro combine harmoniously with the smoky undertones of the Mezcal, resulting in a drink that appeals to both Amaro and Mezcal enthusiasts alike. This cocktail is a perfect choice for those looking to explore new and exciting flavor combinations in their drinks.

Who doesn’t love Old Fashioned’s… and who doesn’t love Pralines?? Let’s combine the two, shall we?

Do you know how the Dark ’n Stormy got its name? It’s credited to a sailor who saw this drink and proclaimed that it was “the color of a cloud only a fool or a dead man would sail under.” Two ingredients. That’s all that’s required to pull off a combo that’s rich, fizzy, sweet, spicy, and satisfying - you’re dang right it’s perfect for this hot summer weather. Cheers y’all.
