The Partridge

How about a cozy winter cocktail for this Friday Eve?

I’m excited this new year to create a cocktail recipe featuring this unique whiskey. If you’re unfamiliar with Legent, it starts as a Kentucky Straight Bourbon with the Beam classic family recipe and is aged in wine and sherry casks before being blended with more Kentucky Straight Bourbon by Shinji Fukuyo, fifth-ever Chief Blender of Suntory, the founding house of Japanese whisky. The result is a perfectly balanced yet complex and layered whiskey with a bright, smooth, unexpectedly long finish.

The good news for y’all is that you can get it NOW on via www.drizly.com! Check out my stories for the link. Hope y’all enjoy this recipe as much as I did.

The Snow Cap

This ones inspired by my friends up north 🇨🇦

Throwback to a challenge by my friends to create a unique cocktail using ingredients local to Victoria, BC. Using the fruity flavors found in ‘Mountain Berry Tea’ by @tealeavesco (Elderberry, Hibiscus, and Black Currant) along with local smoked honey from countrybeehoney, I was able to create a cocktail that is delicious on its own. I was able to take this cocktail even further by experimenting with a black currant (cassis), elderflower and pamplemousse foam to compliment the drink itself. Not going to lie, either one could be enjoyed on its own but combining the two takes this drink to the next level.

The Salted Peanut Butter Fizz

Fall is officially here, so how does a peanut butter, banana, hazelnut, coffee and chocolate cocktail sound to you?

Well, you’re in luck. I’ve teamed up with screwballwhiskey to create a cocktail thats somewhere between a chocolate egg cream and a bourbon fizz. The secret is in the banana, hazelnut-infused cold brew amaro created by my talented friend schenzelwashington. Its constructed by steeping coffee grounds with banana liqueur, hazelnut extract and amaro for 6-12 hours then fine straining into a vessel of your choice. I can’t think of a more perfect accompaniment to the flavors in peanut butter.

The Queen is Dead

I wanted to follow the basic Boulevardier recipe, but create a tropical flair. The coconut-infused aperitif takes the bitter component and just rounds it out with a little sweetness and richness. The [Pimm's] replaces sweet vermouth, by pulling away some of those herbal notes, and replacing them with dried fruit flavors.

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.
