The Trackside Creamsicle

Bourbon + Creamsicles is a match made in heaven...

I couldn’t think of anything to welcome the fall season more than this recipe below featuring Buffalo Trace bourbon and cream, sweetened with a “burnt” sugar syrup that introduces a deep caramel flavor profile and topped with fresh grated nutmeg to round it all out.

The Fig in a Blanket

I was inspired to make something that would highlight the bourbon while maintaining a fruity and spicy flavor profile that pairs beautifully with the 10 year old spirit. What better way than with this fresh fig/peppercorn syrup I made earlier this week. Check out the cocktail recipe (including the syrup) below, if you end up making it, let me know what you think

Pomme Brulee Old Fashioned

It’s about time we brûlée 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 Hole’s 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 y’all!

The Brown Derby

Hope y’all are staying healthy! For those of you cooped up at home and have been asking for some easy cocktail recipes, I have some exciting news! I’ve yet again #partnered up with cooperscraft to highlight some of the talented mixologists in Charleston, SC. In this five part series which I’m dubbing #CocktailsAtHome, each mixologist will be creating a bourbon cocktail from scratch that you can easily recreate at home. Now let’s get started shall we?

First up on this series is Anna Lazaridis (@annathegreek83) of Charleston, SC with a classic Brown Derby cocktail, its strong, tart, and sweet - or as Anna puts it: “With the sweetness of the honey and the tartness of the grapefruit, the Brown Derby is an excellent example of a simply well balanced cocktail. I incorporated thyme into the honey because we seem to have a lot of that on our hands😉” #pungame💪🏼

Peach Old Fashioned

Peaches 🍑+ Brandy 🥃, name a better combo…

Want to know what makes this one in particular so special?

St-Rémy Signature is the only French brandy that features a double aging process first in charred new oak casks, then in traditional, seasoned brandy oak casks to bring layers of smooth and oaky flavor to the forefront. The two-cask maturation imparts intense spiced notes and verve as well as balance and complexity, which makes for a versatile yet easy-to-drink flavor profile.

You’re going to want to make this one.

Maple Old Fashioned

Ok, real talk - whistlepigwhiskey sent over a care package that included their barrel-aged maple syrup and figured why not take their suggestion to make it into an Old Fashioned.
.
In case you didn’t know, the Whistle Pig Farm is in Burlington, VT and they actually have maple trees onsite that they tap and harvest maple syrup from. This syrup is then aged in spent Whistle Pig Rye Barrels producing a super unique, single source maple syrup!
