The Oaks Lily is the official cocktail of the Kentucky Oaks, held the day before the Derby. While it doesn't get the same spotlight as the julep, it's just as much a part of the weekend.

This drink leans lighter and more approachable. Vodka, citrus, orange liqueur, and cranberry come together in a way that's bright, refreshing, and easy to drink throughout the day.

#ad21+ Listen, if you're planning on giving someone a bottle of bourbon this season, you need to save this recipe.

Together with my friends at @BasilHayden, we're going to make a festive bourbon cocktail called Season's Greetings, which would make for perfect recipe to go along with your gift. The spice notes in the amaro and the pear liqueur in this cocktail play perfectly with the baking spice notes in #BasilHayden and I guarantee you'll be making this one all holiday season.

Comment "PEAR" and I'll send you this recipe in the form of a recipe card that you can save, print out to include with your gift or send to a friend. Whether you're gifting or shopping bourbon this season, make sure to keep a look out for Basil Hayden -- its #TheOneWithTheBelt #BasilHaydenPartner

Cheers y'all.

I’ll take a Negroni… Shaken, not stirred.

Calling it now — THIS IS THE COCKTAIL OF 2026.

(Re)introducing the Tucci Negroni - a revised version of Stanley Tucci’s Negroni. He recommends using vodka if you don’t have gin so I figured I’d give it a try and served it over ice. COMPLEXITY is the first thing that comes to mind, this may be how I make my Negronis from now on and maybe you should too.

Cheers, y’all!

Not to flex, but Spring in Charleston is unbeatable 🫶🏽

On this episode of Fits + Sips: me and my friend at @fahertybrand are putting together an easy Spring outfit AND drink that are BOTH inspired by Charleston.

If you didn’t already know, Faherty’s Spring Collection is inspired by Charleston, SC. Which just so happens to be where I live. It’s literally the ‘Holy City’ part of ‘Holy City Handcraft’. The coastal, laid-back vibe is exactly what I’m going for here. In Charleston, spring outfits are all about comfort and staying cool, so here I chose something lightweight and functional.

With this series, we always make a drink to match. Enter, the Peninsula Punch. This recipe showcases some local honey, rum (because of Charleston’s historical ties) and of course the unofficial symbol of this city, the pineapple, because Charlestonians truly pride themselves on hospitality. Combined with smoked salt and finished with a black strap rum floater, this is a recipe you’ll be sipping all season long.

Cheers y’all.

Bright citrus, soft sweetness, and a creamy matcha finish — Grass Slippers leans fresh but still feels layered. Yuzu brings sharp acidity, honey ginger syrup adds warmth, and HIGHPOUR Spirit keeps the backbone clean and structured. The salted coconut matcha foam ties it all together with texture and a subtle savory note.
