Ramos Key Lime

Introduction: Accidentally made this while attempting a lavender gin sour. A little more lime, some heavy cream and a bit of graham cracker later and heaven was created. It’s now one of my absolute favorite dessert cocktails. Nothing comes close if you enjoy key lime pie.  Ingredients: 2 oz. dry gin ¾ oz. lavender simple […]

Mint Whiskey Sour

One of my father’s favorite drinks I’ve ever created for him. A perfect combination

Matcha Gin Sour

Since I’m on a matcha kick, might as well release my other favorite matcha drink: the boozy sour.

The Cardi B Hot Toddy

Introduction: Winter time and and the occasional cold begets hot drinks, honey, tea, and of course, bourbon. I’ve always enjoyed my hot toddy’s with tea, but never found the right mix, until now.

Cucumber Gimlet

Another fantastic drink from the Aviary and my favorite Gimlet riff to date. also helps that doesn’t take days to prep!

Another light, mezcal summer time drink with basil and blackberry.

Evergreen Old Fashioned

Introduction: I’ve only had one pine-like old fashioned before in my life, and wanted to eventually recreate it. I was reminded of this when our friend Camille was on our porch picking baby spruce tips, exclaiming how good of simple syrup they make. Her recipe was letting a jar full of spruce tips and brown […]

Divided Bell

Close to the amazing Division Bell, but with one great lemon twist.

Last Word

Not your typical Last Word, a great riff from The Office that puts the original to shame.

Blackberry Whiskey Sour

Introduction: Beautiful cocktail with just the right sweetness to alcohol ratio. The blackberry ties in extremely well with the lemon, and the simple cuts both the sourness of the lemon and strength of the whiskey.  Ingredients: 1 ½ oz. bourbon (I used Maker’s Mark Cask Strength) ¾ oz. lemon juice ~½ oz. simple syrup ~4 […]
