The perfect Paloma doesn’t exis……

Well, it wouldn’t be a Valentine’s Day cocktail if it wasn’t pink, right?

This cocktail makes 2 servings for the occasion. OH, and if you like these glasses or are just in need of some new bar or glassware, head over to the link in my bio or viski.com and use code ‘HOLYCITY15’ FOR 15% off your purchase!

👶🏽 Given some of the lack of sleep we’ve been getting lately, I figured I’d whip something up to fix that.

On this #WorldCocktailDay - let’s make the easiest Margarita you’ll ever make.

Alright you heard the man.

If you’re not familiar, the Rosita is a Gaz modern classic in the same family as the Negroni. It’s lighter and more delicate, using tequila as the base spirit. If you’re a fan of Negronis or the bitter sweet flavor profile, you’re going to love this one.

Cheers y’all.

¡Happy #CincoDeMayo, mis amigos!

I’m happy to bring you one of the most unique recipes from the Copper Bar the @patron Hacienda last week. We liked it so much, both @highproofpreacher and I posted about it without even coordinating haha Thanks to our dude @gingerbartender for providing the recipe!

A little background: The Charreada is a rodeo-like tradition dating back to the arrival of Spanish horsemanship to Mexico in the 16th century. Once a competition between Haciendas, it is now performed by teams of professional charros and is an important touchstone of Mexican culture. So there’s your fun fact for the day - now get out there and enjoy this day respectfully and responsibly, salud!

Just because #CincoDeMayo is over doesn't mean we're done with Tequila cocktails.

If you're wondering about the "glassware" - its from the folks at tossware, a stylish, 100% recyclable and BPA-free alternative to using those traditional plastic containers. I can see myself using this for cocktails at the beach or pool this summer and as a bonus, they're 100% sustainable as well. This is #notanad - but after trying the product a couple times, I thought it would be a great product to share with y'all. Fun fact: they are NOT dishwasher safe... as my wife and I recently found out :D

You asked for more Paloma riffs, I gotchu!

This one subs the traditional salt rim with olive brine and it works SO well with the grapefruit in this recipe. Saline and aperitivos rend to accentuate the citrus notes and in this case, it brings out some of the grapefruit in Salers. Hope yall enjoy this one, it’d be a good one to batch.

Give me an Old Fashioned, but make it with a smoky tequila 🥃

I’m excited to introduce y’all to the newest offering from - Patrón Ahumado - and make a classic Old Fashioned with it. #patronahumado is made in small batches using a low and slow roasting technique of the piñas underground with mesquite for at least seven days. Agave is then crushed using the unique 100% tahona wheel distillation process. The reposado tastes sweet, smoky, and oaky with notes of black pepper and hints of vanilla and caramel — it takes a classic Old Fashioned to a new level but can also just be enjoyed neat or on the rocks. If you’re a fan of smoked spirits, you need to get your hands on this bottle ASAP.

Cheers y’all.

Let’s get you ready for Cinco de Mayo, shall we?

Want a chance to go to Guadalajara and take home a grand prize??

This annual competition is open to both pro and amateur bartenders nationwide to challenge them to craft bold and spicy cocktails using Tanteo Tequila.

Happy #SundayFunday -- I feel like ‘healthy’ and ‘cocktails’ are oxymorons but a couple months ago, the ladies over at thekalewhale inspired me to make another cocktail using onelovekombucha’s Hibiscus Ginger Kombucha. Check out the recipe below!

Recently had a chance to check out the gorgeous thevictorsocialclub and try their Cuban-inspired cocktail menu. They also were kind enough to provide their cocktail recipe. Check out the space at Hutson Alley when you get a chance and stay tuned for more!

Nacho. Cheese. Margarita. 😳

Thanks to doritos and empiricalcph, we’re now able to add a nacho cheese flavor to any cocktail. I asked y’all what I should make with this spirit and I figured we’d start off easy with a Margarita, it just makes sense after all, right? After all, queso + margaritas, what could go wrong?

Hey folks! I’m excited to #partner up with Patron, who has challenged me to create a classic bourbon cocktail for #NationalBourbonDay - but here’s the twist, we’ll be using their bourbon barrel aged Patrón Añejo in place of whiskey.

The weekend is coming!

Savor the smokey allure of Mezcal, a spirited choice for your next adventure.

Cheers y’all!

Movie night with the fam. Homemade Maple New York Sours seemed appropriate.

Habañero x Paloma x Margarita = ?

Introducing a fiery twist on two classic cocktails, the Paloma and the Spicy Margarita. This original recipe combines the refreshing citrus notes of a Paloma with the heat of a Spicy Margarita to create a unique drink for your summer cocktail arsenal. It’s the perfect blend of sweet, sour, and spicy, making it the ideal choice for those who enjoy a bit of a kick in their cocktail.

Cheers y’all.

Is this the official cocktail of 2024?

If you haven’t heard already it’s #BatangaWeek and we’re all here for it.

Cocktails don’t have to be hard and this is no exception. When we were in Mexico last week with @drinkcazcanes, we all fell in love with this drink. The ingredients are simple: tequila, lime and [Mexican] @cocacola. You might be saying, “well Miguel, thats just a tequila-coke…” - it’s not until you add the salt on the rim and IN the glass will this drink just shine. The salt accentuates everything in the cocktail from the agave to the herbal [almost amaro-like] flavors from the soda. If you haven’t had this yet, you need to. I can almost guarantee you already have all the ingredients.

Cheers y’all.

Just because #CincoDeMayo is over doesn’t mean these tequila cocktails have to stop…
