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!

Coconut Rested Rum Negroni

🥃 ➡️ 🥥

Today we’re resting a Negroni in a coconut… but not just any Negroni, this is a split-base rum Negroni using a Barbados rum ( + Jamaican rum ) to give us a funky but rounded flavor. If you’ve never had either of those rums, you’ll really want to get your hands on a bottle or sample to try. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever had and really puts this recipe together by bringing those tropical notes of coconut, banana and pineapple INSIDE a coconut 🤯

Stay tuned for Part II coming in a few days!

The Disco Sour

Ok, show me a mood ring but make it a cocktail… 🕺🏽🪩

First a little back story here: Let me introduce you to The Disco Sour, created in 2015 by my talented friend Megan Deschaine for a restaurant called 492 here in Charleston, SC. I remember walking up to the bar at this restaurant after work (my office was 4 buildings down). By the way, this all happened before my days of developing recipes and photographing them and here was this amazingly friendly bartender asking me what I wanted to drink. I asked what she suggested and she put this drink in front of me and I was immediately blown. It was her signature cocktail, way before the days butterfly pea flower went mainstream (this was 2015 folks!), the drink was served in a carafe and poured table side so you could watch the drink transform from white, to blue to pink.
Cheers y’all!

Frozen Honey Painkiller

Who needs fireworks anyway? 🔥

Happy #FourthOfJuly friends! Got a confession - frozen tiki drinks are a guilty pleasure of mine, but who doesn’t love them, amirite? This one is a little more involved but I promise it’s well worth it. The recipe below is for 2 servings, but feel free to scale up at your leisure :)

This one combines 3 types of rum with some pineapple and coconut with a little cinnamon fire for dramatic effect… oh and it’s definitely not a regular Painkiller™ ;)

Cheers y’all!

Alive and Well (Long Song)

A light take on the classic for #NegroniWeek 🥃

“A lighter rendition of the classic, the Alive and Well is more of an “orange” Negroni. aromatic, floral, herbaceous, and slightly fruity backed with Campari’s signature bitterness; it’s a fun, late-summer sipper.”

Cheers y’all!

20th Century

Let’s make a cocktail I didn’t think I’d like.

I always thought the lemon and chocolate sounded awful together but this was actually perfectly balanced and I was pleasantly surprised at how it turned out. Is it my new favorite cocktail? No, but will I make it again? Absolutely.
