  • I’m baaaack! Missed you fam 👋🏻 I took the past few weeks off social media. Spent lots of time doing all the boring admin tasks that comes with freelancing, deep diving into gardening & getting mine ready for spring, as well as just processing last year and planning for the future. Ready to get back to creating & traveling! Speaking of traveling- I am wheels up on a new adventure. Any guesses (the cocktail is a little hint 😉!) Get the full recipe as well as the N/A version for those of you Dry January-ing link, in the bio. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀🌿TARRAGON TOMORROW🌿 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ •1 3/4 oz blanco tequila ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •2 oz green apple juice ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •1 oz fresh lime juice ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •3/4 oz tarragon syrup ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •spritz of Green Chartreuse, celery salt ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
  • Revealing my #SecretSanté today: @beautifulbooze ! Natalie is a world traveler, literally living out of her suitcase and traveling 24/7 going to some of the worlds best bars! I admire her tenacity, vivacity & creativity. I am lucky to have been able to share cocktails IRL with her over the past few years. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀Her drinks feature a lot of seasonal produce so I used THE fruit of the season: cranberry! I mixed in cranberry syrup with egg white in a classic Paper Plane & because Natalie is a fellow edible flower appreciator, it’s garnished with a sprinkling of petals. A paper plane is balanced on the rim as a nod to the cocktail name & Nat’s travels ✈️ Thanks to @servedbysobserson for putting together this fun Drinkstagram cocktail exchange! 🥃 🎁✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ CRANBERRY PAPER PLANE SOUR ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •3/4 oz Aperol ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •3/4 Amaro, I used @amaromontenegro_us ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •3/4 oz bourbon, I used @fourrosesbourbon ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •3/4 oz lemon juice ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •1/2 oz cranberry syrup ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •1 Egg white ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ garnish: Edible flowers, cranberries, mini paper plane ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Dry shake.

  • Chocolate Peppermint Coconut Irish Coffee 🎄✨☕️🍫🌿🥃 It’s the last stretch before the big day so lots of coffee & nip or two of booze is needed to get through all the last bit of wrapping, baking, cooking & hopefully a bit of relaxing. If you are celebrating how do you like to spend Christmas Eve? Going to do all my wrapping, whoooops, & mix up these Irish Coffees for the fam while we watch a classic movie or two (The Year With Out A Santa Clause is my favorite!) I finally used the vintage carafes my mom gifted me that keep your coffee warm & honestly they are the best thing for a habitual coffee reheater 😅 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Chocolate Peppermint Coconut Irish Coffee ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •4 oz hot coffee ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •1 1/4 oz whiskey, I used @slanewhiskey ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •1 oz creme de cacao ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •3/4 oz @mrblackspirits coffee liqueur ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •3-4 tbsp whipped chocolate peppermint coconut cream (8 oz coconut cream to 1 oz creme de cacao & 1 oz creme de menthe, lightly whipped ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •garnish: crushed candy cane & Peppermint bark ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Add whiskey & liqueurs to the glass. Add hot coffee & stir. Top with whipped coconut cream, crushed candy cane & peppermint bark.
  • Not sure who would be excited about getting a partridge in a pear tree, but I WOULD be excited for some to give me a glass of this Partridge in A Cherry Tree cocktail 🌲 🍒 This cheery winter sipper features tea infused @empress1908gin that’s cherry forward with @luxardousa Maraschino, flecked with chocolatey creme de cacao, giving way to bright notes from citrus oil and the sweet-bitter Italicus bergamot liqueur. Get the full recipe on my site. 💜 🥃 🍒 🍫 🍊
  • Spreading cheers with boozy gifts & handmade ornaments this year! I whipped up this Coconut Tawny Port Steamer with @croftport to sip while DIYing some ornaments to tie around the neck of the bottle to give to neighbors & friends. It’s an easy gift that feels so special with hand lettered ornaments decked out with ribbons & tassels. Get the details & the recipe for this Coconut Tawny Port Steamer on my site today!  #partner #croftport #holidayportay #portpairings
  • Decking the halls & trimming the bar cart! Getting myself & the bar cart in the holiday spirit with a citrus berry bayleaf garland & Christmas Cosmo cocktails with @SuntoryHakuVodka! It is made from white rice (Haku means white in Japanese), distilled in both pot & column still then filtered through bamboo charcoal. It has a subtle sweetness with a floral note that lingers. I recently picked up some spruce tips which along with gentle pine & citrus flavors, has floral undertones. Infused in the Haku Vodka, it is perfect to mix in a Cosmopolitan that’s further elevated with orange oil syrup & cranberry bitters. Head to my stories to find a bottle of Haku Vodka to whip up your own Christmas Cosmo! #hakuvodka {ad} ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ CHRISTMAS COSMO ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1 1/2 parts spruce tip infused @SuntoryHakuVodka ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀3/4 parts orange liqueur ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3/4 parts cranberry juice ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1/2 parts lime juice ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1/2 parts orange oleo saccharum ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1 dash cranberry bitters, optional garnish: lime wheel, sugared cranberry, 1 spruce tip Infuse ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Haku Vodka by adding 1/2 part spruce tips* to 1 part vodka. Let infuse for 8 hours. Strain spruce tips, stir vodka in a jar. | Make the drink: Add spruce tip infused vodka, cranberry, lime, oleo & bitters into a shaker. Shake and strain into a coupe. Garnish. *I got my spruce tips at the Ferry Building in SF, but there are online sources you can order from. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Orange oleo saccharum syrup 8 oz sugar, 3 oz orange peels | Peel oranges, avoiding pith. Add orange peels and sugar to a bowl. Muddle well. Continue to muddle periodically. If the sugar is not fully absorbed after 12 hours, add a bit of orange juice and stir. Strain out the peels. Store the jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks
