  • Finishing off the week (or really what felt like 2 months) with a cocktail using a pantry staple: tea! This Chai Old Fashioned has all the cozy warming spices & can be made with a variety of spirits! Video coming tomorrow showing you how to mix up this cocktail so keep your peepers on the look out tomorrow. What pantry staples do you want to see me mix with next?! #internationalwhiskyday #pantrycocktails⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ☕️ 🥃CHAI OLD FASHIONED🥃☕️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •2 oz aged spirit- bourbon, rye, rum, single malt. I used @arberlour 12 here, the notes from the sherry cask go great with chai ⠀⠀⠀ •1/4 oz chai syrup ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •2 dash angostura bitters ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ garnish: orange peel & star anise ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Stir all in a rocks glass with ice. Express orange peel over the drink and garnish with star anise.
  • I like to keep a small cocktail garden on hand for garnishes, syrups & infusions. I place small planters ( or for a little extra design touch, use pretty vases) with herbs on the counter for easy access while bringing a bit of the garden inside. This Garden Party cocktail featuring @JuniperoGin from local Bay Area distillery @hotalingandco is a true sip of spring! Junipero is unfiltered for elevated flavor. The 12 botanicals in the “SF Strength” gin (49.3% ABV!) mingle so well with the floral liqueur & herbs while blackberries & ginger add a tart & spicy punch into the mix. It’s topped off with edible flowers & a fragrant herb corsage, tied off with a citrus peel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There will be a lot of cocktail shaking in our home bars as we all stay inside more with everything going on in the world, so bring a little bit of the outdoors in with this Garden Party cocktail! ( head to my Stories to get a bottle shipped to you! ) #sponsored #PicturePerfectGin #JuniperoGin #UnapologeticallyJunipero ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ GARDEN PARTY ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -1 1/2 oz @JuniperoGin ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -1/2 oz elderflower liqueur ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -4 grams peeled ginger, sliced (about 1 inch nub) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -6 blackberries ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -1 oz simple syrup ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -1 oz lemon ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -1 egg white garnish: edible flowers, rosemary sprig, thyme sprig, mint sprig, lemon peel ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Add Junipero, elderflower liqueur, blackberries & ginger into a shaker. Muddle well. Strain out the solids. Add the mixture back into the shaker and add the rest of the ingredients. Shake with out ice for 45 seconds. Add ice and shake briefly. Strain into a coupe. Garnish with flowers, rosemary, thyme, mint and lemon peel bundle.
  • Who else could go for a Minty Frozen Irish Coffee (or a whole pitcher?!) 🌿 ☕️ 🥃 Feels weird posting new content at a time like this, but hopefully this boozy treat brings you joy. It’s basically a boozy milkshake! ☕️🍹🍦 It’s heavily inspired by the ones at Erin Rose in New Orleans so if you craving one like me, you can whip this up if you have ice cream, coffee coffee liqueur, & brandy or whiskey. Get the recipe for the Mint & Regular Frozen Irish Coffees on my site ☘️ #irishcoffee #frozenirishcoffee #imbibegram
  • As we face a shelter in place order in the Bay Area, countless bar & restaurant lay-offs/closures around the country, & shuttering of small business among you know actually getting sick, things are feeling very heavy. I am doing my best to focus on the moments of hope & joy no matter how small. If you are struggling, please reach out to your friends & family, we all need to relay on our support systems right now! If you need help in finding resources to guide your through this time whether financial, mental health, or just need someone to talk to, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me & I will do all that I can to help you find what you need (I also have lots of dad jokes for a good laugh!) And if you are able to please support by donating to any of the organizations below or purchase gift cards to your local bar or restaurants to help keep them afloat. Love you all & we will come out of this stronger than ever 💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨RESOURCES FOR THE F&B/HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY , more to come soon (also linking in my Stories/highlights)✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •Myself & fellow @USBGSF board & council have created a FaceBook Group for the Bay Area (& beyond!) for sharing resources as we find them to assist hospitality & service industry, open to all. If you want to be added please message- https://bit.ly/2IT8y8I ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •@usbg has a Emergency Relief grant for bartenders, apply here- usbgfoundation.org/beap ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •@thehealthtender has tips for staying healthy, mind & body during these times ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •A schedule for daily activities, this great for everybody right now to keep from losing their marbles ! -https://bit.ly/2xMFT2X
  • This week was the longest year ever. We all could use a drink & then some, am I right? If you have booze & ingredients & you don’t know what drinks to make while practicing social distancing at home? Head to my Stories, slide into my DM’s or leave a note below on what you have on hand & I will get you a tasty recipe to sip (this includes mocktail ideas.) I gotchou!👇🏼 🍹🍊🍋🍎 (Yes this is my liquor cabinet at home & no this is not all that I have 🙈)
  • Chartreuse Swizzle anyone?! 🌿 ✨ it’s the best way to get to know Chartreuse in a cocktail in my opinion. I also added a fun little spritz of Mezcal El Silencio Espadin to the modern classic for a whisper of smoke & vegetal flavors that work so well with chartreuse 💦 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I was fortunate to go to the Chartreuse book launch here in SF recently & learn more about the elusive verdant spirit. @cocktailkingdom recently released copies of the book so you can get a copy too! Get the link to grab your own Chartreuse the Liqueur book and for the recipe for the Chartreuse Swizzle via @cocktailgeek on my site.
