  • I do not have any chickens disposable to drink with, but hoping drinking with @miso.theragdoll counts to celebrate #nationaldrinkingwithchickensday! 😅🤷🏼‍♀️ 🐓🐱 Celebrating with a Celery Daiquiri in honor of the chicken salad dumps (if you follow @drinkingwithchickens Stories, you know!) Recipe below 🌿 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Love the levity, fun & pure ridiculousness that @drinkingwithchickens brings to not only the drink community on Instagram, but in real life! Truley one of my favorite humans ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ CELERY DAIQUIRI 2 oz white rum 1 oz lime juice 3/4 oz simple syrup 1/4 oz celery juice 2 dashes celery bitters ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -Shaken with ice and served in a coupe with celery ribbon
  • Roses’ Taproom (@rosestaproom) is one of my all time favorite places to grab a drink in Oakland on a sunny day! 🌹🍻 Their beers are creative & delicious while the interior is VERY easy on the eyes (that fish scale tile, SWOON). I could stay here for hours. Some of my favorite of their beers include: Peach Bee Humble (peach & honey cream ale), Lite Brite (rice ale) & Dovetails (sour red ale aged in @homebasespirits bourbon barrels). Love getting to know the East Bay, so many gems this side of the bridge ✨ #CaCEastBay
  • What is your favorite way to make drinks for a crowd or party? Shake/mix as you go for a bit of a show? Pre-patched in a punch bowl ready to go once your friends arrive? Or a bit of both, pre-batched then shaken to chill & dilute? I’m usually in the latter, but when a punch bowl is this rad, you have to use it 🐚 🍹 Recipe for this Fog Cutter on my site ✨
  • Made this Women’s Equali-TEA cocktail celebrating women’s month & the strides we have made towards equality as women. This week has taken us MANY steps back & has many of us shaken to our cores. We knew this was coming. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Make no mistake, these decisions are not pro-life (because if they were, they would be tackling gun deaths, child hunger, poverty & the list goes on, instead) they are aiming to control women’s bodies & choices. Among many things, women’s bodily autonomy has helped towards the goal of eliminating the gender pay gap. Taking this away places women, especially women of color & those of a lower socio-economic standing, at an extreme disadvantage that will adversely & directly impact their communities. Men should NOT be making laws about women’s bodies, they are not for political games or gains 🙅🏼‍♀️
  • Made this Vanilla Blackberry Brandy Highball for sipping on a sunny day at home & I just had to share it with you! I used @bertouxbrandy, a California brandy that’s new to the market. It is perfect for mixing in cocktails AND for sipping. I break down more specs/tasting notes in the recipe post, but what you need to know is it’s just damn delicious! Along with a vanilla blackberry syrup, lillet & bubbles you’ll want to make this highball for happy hour this week ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Running down the perfect way to mix up a highball and how to get the decorative edges on these lemon peels as well. Head to my site for all of the details and the recipe (link in my profile or on stories) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌸 VANILLA BLACKBERRY BRANDY HIGHBALL: @Bertouxbrandy | vanilla blackberry syrup | @lillet | soda water 🌸#cocktailsandflowers #thirsty #imbibegram
