The Swizz Army Knife
I’m overdue for a little tiki in my life 🗿 If you haven’t used Clairin (Haitian Rum) in your tiki drinks, you are seriously missing out.
Crushed Berrymore
Strawberry and coconut just go so well together, so here’s a little something for y’all to crush on this wonderful day.
Boho Rosa Swizzle
Just a couple more views of the Boho Rosa House in during my last shoot that inspired this cocktail 🙌🏾
Tropikalia
This is recipe is made with a unique spirit I received this recently called Trakal which is made in Patagonia with native ingredients. They use local apple and pear varietals to create the base alcohol and work with local communities to hand-pick seven native herbs and four native berries. Figured why not add more fruit and make a tiki-style cocktail and this one worked out perfectly.
South Caroline Swizzle
A summer swizzle recipe for you to enjoy from the comfort of your own home or apartment to beat this heat.
Reposwizzle
When in doubt, always float the rum. This tequila based tiki-inspired cocktail is sure to please. The black strap rum floater is a must-have. Cheers y’all.
Black Strap Mojito
You can’t beat this riff on a Mojito. Especially when you top it with a healthy dose of more rum.
The Neighborhood Stroll
Here is the cocktail I made using aquafaba (liquid from chick peas). It is perfect for any occasion, whether you’re looking for an after dinner drink recipe or looking to dunk on the neighborhood basketball hoop... this one is for you... ok, maybe don’t try drinking and dunking.
The Honey Jungle Bird
Just a honey inspired take on one of my all time favorite tiki classics - The Jungle Bird. Cheers y’all!
The Classic Daiquiri v1.0
Always working on my daiquiri specs, let’s start with the classic though, let’s call this version 1.0
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 Spiced Apple Spritz
You didn't think I'd leave you hanging with just ONE use for that Spiced Panela syrup did you? Get ready to savor the cozy flavors of the season with our delightful holiday-inspired spritz cocktail. This refreshing and aromatic drink features crisp apples infused with a blend of warm fall spices, creating a perfect balance of sweet and spicy notes. Let this exquisite spritz be your go-to beverage for festive gatherings or simply a cozy night in. Cheers to a taste of autumn in every sip!
Home Team BBQ: Part 3: The Cocktails
Last but not least, the final article of the Home Team BBQ series features THE COCKTAILS. Check out my review of all 12 of Home Team's craft cocktails!
The Temperance Cocktail
I've made a ton of cocktails over the past few years, but if I were to label one a Holy City Handcraft 'Signature' cocktail, this particular one may have come closest. Check out my collaboration with Striped Pig Distillery and Charleston Food Writer (Candy Herriott) as I create one of the best cocktails I've ever made (if I do say so myself) -- recipe after the jump!
